Read a sample Read a sample
Demographic change is a defining issue of our time. As the worldwide population ages, the healthcare systems of every country will meet challenges of scale in providing for their elderly. Aging with Dignity: Innovation and Challenge in Sweden: The Voice of Elder Care Professionals is a study in the future of elder care through the lens of the Swedish healthcare system. Over the past year, ACCESS Health has conducted extensive interviews with more than thirty elder care professionals in Sweden. Aging with Dignity collects these in depth interviews alongside summary chapters and analysis. If a small, wealthy nation like Sweden, with well developed healthcare and social welfare systems, encounters difficulties adapting to demographic change, so too will other nations. By examining Sweden's healthcare coordination, homecare technology, dementia care, and eHealthcare initiatives, Aging with Dignity makes the case for best practices. It is our hope that readers will recognize as universal both the challenges and the innovative solutions presented here. About ACCESS Health International ACCESS Health International works to help provide high quality, affordable care for all, including the elderly and the chronically ill. Our method is to identify, analyze, and document best practices in managing these patients and to consult with public and private providers to help implement new and better cost effective ways to care for them. We also encourage entrepreneurs to create new businesses to serve the needs of this rapidly expanding population. Our goal is to inspire and guide healthcare professionals and legislative leaders in all countries to improve care for their own people.
