If only LTSS services are included in the pilot program, planning and implementation to ensure continuity of care should emphasize the following: • The MCO or provider should have expertise in serving the unique needs of the IDD population. Merely shifting individuals with IDD to a managed care program administered by an entity without a developed understanding of IDD needs would risk endangering continuity of care and could result in cost savings at the expense of quality outcomes. • Maintaining a person-centered focus on individual goals and needs and maximizing individual control, choice and independence. • Outreach and engagement activities that educate individuals and families on the choices available; including partnering with advocacy
While our understanding has evolved with respect to certain advantages of MCO’s, our understanding of the disadvantages has also grown. This analysis will evaluate the use of MCO’s as a gatekeeper to controlling health care cost and offerings. It will evaluate the advantage MCO’s provide in a rapidly growing market due to the aging of baby boomers. The analysis will evaluate disadvantages that can arise with relying on MCO’s. These disadvantages work against the insurance company forcing a polarizing balance between how much control the MCO should retain over recommendation and provision of services.
Care plans are developed by the service users, and when needed with help and assistance from friends and family. These plans are then to be agreed by a social worker or senior care manager e.g. the nurse or senior care worker depending on if the person is nursing or a residential client. The planning system allows the individual’s to:
Taking into account person centred values makes me work better for the individual person, rather than imposing my own choices on them and taking away their own right to independence and choice.
2.2 Demonstrate ways to put person centred values into practice in a complex or sensitive situation.
Instead offering people a choice of what is currently available and finding what best fits their needs, person-centred working looks at someone’s needs and built the support package around them. One of the important aspects of person-centred planning is to look at what people are able to do for themselves and to ensure that services are not taking over aspects of a person’s life that they could perfectly well manage without support.
Person centred values are treating people as individuals, supporting their choices, treating them with dignity and respect, working in partnership with people rather than trying to control them.
To create a consistent environment that expects, encourages and recognises good behaviour and one in which everyone feels
Person centred values must influence all aspects of work as it provides a more holistic and individual support service for the individual. Person centred values also support the individual with making their own choices and helps empower the person.

Care plans are the primary source of client information. We can make individual plans and requirements to suit
Echocardiography can underestimate the degree of PVS, because blood flow is redistributed toward the less-obstructed portions of the lung, resulting in decreased flow through the stenotic vein.81 Alternatively, the pulmonary veins may have been normal initially, and the stenosis developed over time.3,5 While most studies continue to use echocardiography as the primary modality in the diagnosis of PVS8, potential advantages of cardiac CT or MRI include better delineation of pulmonary venous anatomy and blood flow distribution.79 To answer questions on the timing and nature of disease progression, more uniform methods of diagnosis surveillance, with pre-specified cut-off values for defining PVS, are needed.1,79,82
4.1 Person-centred approaches place the individual at the centre of all activities. This kind of approach reduces the likelihood of abuse occuring by means of the following care values:
The lower leg consists of two bones: one large bone called the Tibia and one small bone called the Fibula. The tibia is located on the anterior component of the leg and is the common place of pain for individuals suffering Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome. Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) also referred to as “Shin Splints” (SS), is the most frequent overuse injury in the lower leg in endurance running athletes and those of military personnel (Craig, 2008). MTSS, however, specifically refers to the pain experienced on the posteromedial tibia border (inflammation of muscles, tendons, and bone tissue around the tibia) while exercising. MTSS is the result of a repetitive action, especially in individuals with overly pronated feet. Although, MTSS
