A number of factors will likely result in dramatic changes to the financing and delivery of long-term care (LTC) services—an increasing population of older people and people with disabilities, a severe economic recession, the new national health reform law, and other recent developments. This study, conducted by The Lewin Group for Genworth Financial, synthesizes the latest available data on Medicaid and LTC trends; takes a new look at LTC financing challenges and possible solutions in light of these historic changes; and proposes guidelines for consideration in developing a comprehensive, national long-term care solution.

CareFirst Blue Cross and Blue Shield
The Lewin Group recently completed an assessment for CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield on the needs and issues of consumers in its service areas. The goal of the assessment was to identify strategies for improving the health status of its residents. This report synthesized information on the social and health-related conditions of the residents of Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, and Northern Virginia, in an effort to highlight areas of concern and need. A number of current demographic and health data sources were used, including the U.S. Census, Centers for Disease Control Wonder Database and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, National Center for Health Statistics, and the individual states' health and planning agencies. Whenever possible, comparisons were made to national Healthy People 2010 goals. The final report contains a series of state-level profiles outlining major socio-economic, health status, and health care delivery strengths and weaknesses that can be used to support community investment strategies.
