While at Good Shepherd Fairview Home my final project for my internship was to make a presentation to give to leadership about the Medicaid Redesign in New York State. I did research about Governor Cuomo and the Medicaid redesign team that he instated to redesign New York’s Medicaid program in January 2011 to ensure that it was sustainable. The main goal of the presentation was to inform the staff about how things will change when managed care organizations will be present.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Enhancing Access, Quality, and Equity for Persons With Advanced IllnessVITASAuthor
This diverse panel examined various facets of healthcare access, equity, and inclusion as it
relates to individuals in underserved communities who are coping with advanced illness. Based on their
decades of experience in end-of-life care, as well as evidence-based data and a compelling case study
of a Filipino-American US Navy Veteran, panel members shared strategies on how to mitigate
current barriers, including ensuring patients are granted timely access to hospice and palliative
services and that appropriate levels of care are provided.

Infinity Hospice follows the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). The NHPCO offers professionals in hospice care a ‘Guide to Organizational Ethics in Hospice Care as a resource to hospice programs and professionals” (NHPCO, 2016). The organization’s core policies are driven by their values and mission statement. Infinity Hospice priority is to enhance their patient’s quality of life and help them live in dignity and comfort. They offer ‘dependability’ to the patient and to their loved one during their time of need for 24/7 care. Infinity Hospice Care’s mission is to bring comfort and value to our community. Our core values guide our team in providing the best family hospice and palliative care possible. If you and your family find balance with our mission and core values, we encourage you to speak to us.
The organizations second core policy is having a trusting team of experts. They have an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, counselors, and volunteers who work together to support each patient and their family. To accomplish this, Infinity Hospice provides the following hospice home services:
Medical care
Pain management needs
Spiritual counseling
Bereavement and grief counseling
Medical supplies and durable equipment
Every two weeks, all professionals from each discipline meet to discuss cases to find solutions for the challenges to the patients care. The third policy is ‘a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of others.’ This organization understands that at times caring for an individual and providing a supportive system to their family will mean going above and beyond care standards to deliver excellence. Infinity Hospice policy is committed to making the patient’s life better through the following actions:
Assess each patient’s pain and comfort during each in house hospice visit
Attentively listen and take action on family needs
Continually search for creative ways to enhance your loved one’s quality of life
Nurture the desire to make a difference in our team’s lives by supporting a healthy work/life balance
Unavoidably in healthcare there are policy implication and barriers that arise in care. Infinity is driven to enrich the lives of those who are at the end-of-life. However, barriers to Medicaid, Medicare and in the state of Nevada, Culinary Health insurance all have their own policies in which patient eligibility often factors into their quality of life. Social workers could greatly improve the effectiveness of policy and service efforts designed.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is the largest health payer in the United States, covering almost 90 million Americans. Medicare, the federal health insurance program for adults over age 65 and other qualified individuals, accounts for more than 48 million of those Americans through expenditures of more than $545 billion. But what is Medicare? How does it work? What should helping professionals and caregivers know about the program? This session will provide a broad overview of the Medicare program’s Parts A and B as well as introduce the CMS National Training Program as a resource for further training and information.
