“…The evidence for working across organisational and professional boundaries also suggests the need for a shared philosophy of care (Baker et al 2001, Barnes and Frock 2003, Nadash and Feldman 2003. This is highlighted in the implementation of a restorative model of home care in the United States where Barnes and Frock (2003) found occupational therapists and physiotherapists at cross-purposes with the support worker.…”

“…This is highlighted in the implementation of a restorative model of home care in the United States where Barnes and Frock (2003) found occupational therapists and physiotherapists at cross-purposes with the support worker. Whereas the support worker provided ADL services for the client, the occupational therapists and physiotherapists were determined to have the client perform these tasks as independently as possible.…”

Remaining physically active in later life is critical to maintaining independence in activities of daily living and is a major contributor to overall health status amongst older people. Traditionally a key focus of physiotherapy has been on maintaining functional capacity and mobility. However, the health and disability sector is a constantly evolving entity. Clinicians from a number of disciplines, including physiotherapy, need to be flexible, responsive and innovative and maximise cost benefit for the service funder. Nicholls et al (2009) highlighted the imperative need for physiotherapists to investigate innovative models that align with current and future policy and health care reforms. Over the past 15 years there has been an increased emphasis on supporting older people to remain living at home. This article describes New Zealand and international evidence relating to the optimisation of the potential role of physiotherapy in providing rehabilitation expertise into the provision of Home Care for older people.

As the Canadian population ages, it becomes increasingly important for hospitals to address and implement programs and policies that ensure elderly patients are receiving the right care in the right place at the right time. Despite the vast majority of elderly patients being healthier than ever, it is important to recognize the rapid deconditioning that occurs when they are admitted to an acute care hospital. Although it is recognized that children need to be treated differently, we fail to recognize the same is true for older adults. The Enhanced Activation Program was conceptualized during consultation with community partners while discussing the aging at home strategy. It was during these consultations that gaps in service for the frail elderly were identified and the Enhanced Activation Program was developed.

Tandis que la population canadienne vieillit, il devient de plus en plus important que les hôpitaux évaluent et mettent en œuvre des programmes et politiques visant à garantir que les patients âgés reçoivent les bons soins, au bon endroit et au bon moment. Même si la majorité des patients âgés sont en meilleure santé que jamais, il est important de dépister le déconditionnement rapide dont ils sont victimes lorsqu'ils sont admis dans un hôpital de soins de courte durée. Bien qu'on sache que les enfants ont besoin d'être soignés différemment, on omet d'admettre que le même constat s'applique aux personnes âgées. Le concept du programme d'activation améliorée a vu le jour dans le cadre de consultations avec des partenaires communautaires sur la stratégie du vieillissement à domicile. C'est alors qu'on a déterminé les écueils des services aux personnes âgées fragiles et élaboré le programme d'activation améliorée.
