Abstract:
More than 80% of family care partners of older adults are responsible for coordinating care between and among providers; yet, their inclusion in the health care delivery process lacks recognition, coordination, and standardization. Despite efforts to include care partners (e.g., through informal or formal proxy access to their care recipient\'s patient portal), policies and procedures around care partner inclusion are complex and inconsistently implemented. We conducted a scoping review of peer-reviewed articles published from 2015 to 2021 and reviewed a final sample of 45 U.S.-based studies. Few articles specifically examine the inclusion of care partners in health care teams; those that do, do not define or measure care partner inclusion in a standardized way. Efforts to consider care partners as \"partners\" rather than \"visitors\" require further consideration of how to build health care teams inclusive of care partners. Incentives for health care organizations and providers to practice inclusive team-building may be required.
摘要:
超过80%的老年人家庭护理伙伴负责协调提供者之间的护理;然而,他们被纳入医疗保健提供过程缺乏认可,协调,和标准化。尽管努力将护理伙伴包括在内(例如,通过非正式或正式的代理访问其护理接受者的患者门户),围绕纳入护理伙伴的政策和程序复杂且执行不一致。我们对2015年至2021年发表的同行评审文章进行了范围审查,并审查了45项美国研究的最终样本。很少有文章专门研究将护理伙伴纳入医疗保健团队;那些这样做的人,不要以标准化的方式定义或衡量护理合作伙伴的包容性。将护理合作伙伴视为“合作伙伴”而不是“访客”的努力需要进一步考虑如何建立包括护理合作伙伴在内的医疗保健团队。可能需要激励医疗保健组织和提供者实践包容性团队建设。
