Case
Long-Term Care for All
The newly elected governor of a small state in which the elderly comprise 26% of the total population—twice the national average—is eager to fulfill his campaign promise. He had run for office on the slogan “long-term care for all.” The elderly in the state had overwhelmingly voted for him. Now in office about 9 months, his advisors tell him that providing long-term care services for all citizens in the state will be next to impossible because of high demand for the services. The governor, however, remains undeterred. The cornerstone of his proposed policy includes three things:
(1) Develop a state-sponsored long-term care insurance plan. The insurance premiums will be income based, and will cost at least 15% less than a midlevel private long-term insurance plan being sold in the state.
(2) Make it mandatory for all citizens, old and young, to purchase LTC insurance, either from the state or from a private insurance company.
(3) Place restrictions on the use of nursing home and assisted living services in favor of community-based services.
Questions
1.  Give specific reasons why the governor’s policy may not work, pointing out specific problems that would likely arise.
2.  Will the policy work in a large state, everything else being equal? Give reasons.

In a paper of 500-750 words APA, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome. Make sure to address the following on the PICOT statement:

A PICOT starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention should be an independent, specified nursing change intervention. The intervention cannot require a provider prescription. Include a comparison to a patient population not currently receiving the intervention, and specify the time-frame needed to implement the change process.
Formulate a PICOT statement using the PICOT format provided in the assigned readings. The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project.
