"At the moment issues of increasing access to pre-school education, reducing anemia among the population, preventing the institutionalization of children and creating active service systems for families of risk groups are particularly important for us".
Considering the substantially longer observational period of the DSC population, the 16% overall institutionalization rate for the DSC Model may be comparable to the institutionalization rate of the Meeting Centre Model.
A comprehensive geriatric assessment, followed by a multidimensional intervention on disability risk factors -medical, functional, psychological, and environmental problems- through disease management and health promotion in a low-risk elderly population, succeeds in reducing institutionalization and the risk of falls, delaying disabled functional decline, and improving physical performance.
In a large European study (11 countries) it was found that home care service based on a case management approach reduced risk of institutionalization in a population of frail older persons in home care [ 47].
Tomita et al. [ 17] suggests that the use of home-based and community-based services decrease the probability of hospitalization and institutionalization of the aged population by diminishing the functional or health-related risks.
For HIS to have an impact on health system functioning, and ultimately population health, it will be the institutionalization of habits and norms around data that will make the difference, such that prioritizing and using quality data is as much a part of routine practice as stocking a pharmacy or immunizing a child.
Academic creative-writing programs are, as McGurl puts it, examples of "the institutionalization of anti-institutionality".
Since the hydraulic model hypothesized in this analysis assumed a relative stability in the total size of institutionalized populations and an inverse correlation between correctional institutionalization and psychiatric institutionalization, the exclusion of measures of prison admission and release did not affect the goodness of data for the testing of the two hypotheses.
In addition, their populations involved psychiatric patients severe enough to require long-term institutionalization, whereas none of those with schizophrenia in our population had disease severe enough to be institutionalized.
Physical performance tests provide a marker of current health and predict subsequent health outcomes, such as disability, institutionalization and mortality in older populations [ 3].
