| Aims & Scope | The term “interprofessional” has replaced the older terms “multidisciplinary” and “interdisciplinary” as the byword for care given to the patient and family in 2011 and beyond. Both the new and old terms simply denote that care is rendered by multiple health care providers in a systemized, organized and coordinated fashion. Surveys have documented that most, if not all, Americans prefer medical care in their home rather than in the sterile, impersonal confines of a hospital. Thus, care at home is the ideal model for the interprofessional team. Home Health Care Management & Practice (HHCMP) began in 1988 when interest in home care was fledgling. Now, with rising healthcare expenditures, this interest is renewed and broad based. To this end, HHCMP provides a forum for writing about this care in a peer-reviewed journal. Original articles, review articles, case reports, commentaries, opinions, editorials, ongoing series and the like will be the format of the reframed HHCMP which is designed for physicians, nurses, social workers, rehabilitation therapists, nutritionists, pharmacists, psychologists, pastoral counselors, home care administrators, and any other specialty area that touches the patient and is on the team. In a broader sense, social scientists, policy makers, regulators and geriatricians, especially in the view of the aging baby boomers, will find HHCMP both stimulating and educational. |
