NASHP Report: Inventory of Key Family Caregiver Recommendations for RAISE Act Council
NASHP Report: Inventory of Key Family Caregiver Recommendations
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has released a report, "Inventory of Key Family Caregiver Recommendations."
To help the RAISE Family Caregiving Advisory Council make its recommendations for a national caregiving strategy, NASHP, in collaboration with the Administration for Community Living (ACL), collected, analyzed, and synthesized nearly 800 recommendations from 27 notable family caregiving reports (13 national, 12 state, and 2 international). To be included in this inventory, recommendations had to be developed from multi-stakeholder and consensus input.
The recommendations were synthesized and categorized under the RAISE Act Family Caregiving Advisory Council's five goals and actions were highlighted that governments, providers, and communities can take. The overview summarizes the recommendations that appeared in four or more reports. Appendix A contains a synthesis of all the recommendations, and a full list with links of the reviewed reports can be found in Appendix B.
"The nearly 800 recommendations from these notable family caregiving reports provide a wealth of material for the advisory council to consider...
The challenge will be to prioritize the recommendations and make them actionable by adding another level of specificity. In addition, many of the recommendations will require funding.
To ensure success as it confronts these critical challenges, the council will need to review these recommendations in the context of scarce resources and:
- Identify new resources;
- Repurpose existing funds where it makes sense; and
- Articulate and quantify the significant value that family caregivers add to state and federal health care systems."
