The current system used by the NAHARC is estimated to have been used for well over 35 years. As a result, the system has adapted to the different changes over the years. These changes have made the system increasingly complex and cumbersome and thereby too difficult to change. NAHARC plans to incorporate a new integrated benefits system as a solution that will fill business needs of all the departments and staff of NAHARC, including their customers. This administration is based on a capability study NAHARC performed from January 2013 to January 2014 and the RFP that developed from the study, done in conjunction with Hickson and Hickson…
In the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-2014 VA Strategic Plan, then VA Secretary Eric Shinseki identified three principles to guide the agency into the 21st Century; 1) to be people centric, 2) results driven, and 3) forward looking. Subsequently, the FY 2014-2020 Strategic Plan built on these guiding principles and further defined VA’s mission. Since that time, the agency has undergone significant transformation in these areas. Building on these guiding principles, in July 2015, Secretary Robert McDonald introduced the MyVA Integrated Plan (MIP). The MIP focuses on giving Veterans greater control over provided services, modernizing VA by focusing on the organizational culture, processes and capabilities with the intent of providing “a…

In recent years all disabled people have been cared for in the way that was best for the home, and all treated as a group of disabled people, and all decisions were made by the care team who dealt with the illness instead of the person. Today changes have taken place to ensure clients have the power to initiate their own care needs and have a say in how they want to live there life. By setting up a system with all personnel involved the client can put across their views and aims and put this into practice. Within our home setting every client is treated as an individual and has a care plan set up to centre around there needs. Input would come from outside agencies i.e. doctors, nurses, occupational therapy and any specialist associated with the client, family would help with a life history and any information deemed of a help to the client, carers would give an input into…

Long-term care is a growing concept that is constantly evolving to adapt to our diverse communities. Due to the aging of the baby boomers group, there will be a rapid increase of individuals in need of long-term care in the years to come (Dana & Olson, 2007). Therefore, it is essential to expedite the process of improvement in the long-term care field to better accommodate these rising demands. In order to ensure a long-term care facility is adequately prepared for the future, there are many different key factors that must occur for the success of the facility. Not only are there key factors that are necessary for personnel to acquire, but from the facility also (Pratt, 2016).…
