Alexander (Alex) Shnaider

One of Shnaider’s significant business milestones was in 1994 when he co-founded the Zaporizhstal steel mill in Ukraine, which has since become a successful steel manufacturing entity. Initially, the company was a steel trading entity operating in Ukraine before the privatization of government-owned steel factories. During its initial stages, it served as a sales agent and a factor for some of the state-owned enterprises.

The Panama Papers reveal that in 2010, Shnaider parted with at least half of Midland’s stake in Zaporizhstal. The shares were sold to buyers who were financially backed by the Russian state-owned Vnesheconombank, which was later acquired by the development bank.

In December 2007, Shnaider ventured into football, acquiring the Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv for an approximate cost of 12 million euros. However, on 4th August 2009, he sold the club to Mitchell Goldhar, a Canadian real estate developer, after having invested $20 million into the club. Goldhar agreed to take on Shnaider’s 80% stake in the club by accepting its financial obligations. Additionally, Goldhar paid $750,000 to the Maccabi Tel Aviv sports foundation for their 20% stake in the club.

In 1994, Shnaider co-founded Midland Group—originally a steel producer—with former business partner Eduard Shifrin. The company operated in Ukraine before government-owned steel factories were privatized. In 1999, Midland Resources began buying shares in the Zaporizhstal steel mill. By 2001, Shnaider's consortium had bought 93 per cent of the mill for $70 million.

Yaphet Kotto, Bond Villain and ‘Alien’ Star, Dies at 81

Yaphet Kotto, an actor known for his performances in “Alien,” the James Bond film “Live and Let Die” and the television series “Homicide: Life on the Street,” has died, his agent Ryan Goldhar confirmed to Variety. He was 81.

In 1973’s “Live and Let Die,” Kotto pulled double-duty portraying the corrupt Caribbean dictator Dr. Kananga as well as his drug pushing alter ego Mr. Big. Described in the novel as a monstrously obese kingpin with yellow eyes, gray skin and a head twice the size of a normal man, Kotto’s dapper version of the character dispensed with the physical grotesqueries and added a charismatic dose of stylish villainy.

Kotto also famously played technician Dennis Parker in 1979’s “Alien” and William Laughlin alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 action film “The Running Man.” He had a strong career in television as well, playing Al Giardello in the NBC series “Homicide: Life on the Street” from 1993 to 1999.

INTEGRATING CARE

Introduction

Image from SouthEast LHIN

I chose this blog topic because it closely aligns with my current work on the Health Links model of care project. The Health Links model of care is a key commitment of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care in integrating care for patients with complex health conditions such as those living with mental health and/or addictions and people who are frail (Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Ontario, 2015). Health Links is also the foundation of the People’s Health Care Act; Bill 74 passed earlier this year. The purpose of this legislation is to guide the creation of Ontario Health Teams with the mandate of delivering integrated and coordinated services across health and social service sectors (The People’s Health Care Act, 2019). In delivering Health Links model of care, social and health service providers are required to use a Coordinated Care Plan (CCP) (Click on link to see the CCP). The CCP is a communication tool for patients, their families/caregivers, and providers with the focus on what is most important to the client/patient. The information obtained to complete the CCP is inclusive of physical health, mental health and addictions, assessing physical, psychological, social and spiritual supports (“Coordinated Care Plan User Guide Version 2.1,” 2018)

Bill 74, The People's Health Care Act, 2019

https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/bills/parliament-42/session-1/bill-74 

As an occupational therapist working in Ontario, I am very interested in seeing what changes will take place in our healthcare system and how this will impact service delivery particularly for seniors with normal and abnormal mental health. Here is hoping that the new changes to the healthcare system will address some of the barriers experienced by seniors with mental health issues such as difficulty finding appropriate mental health providers, long wait lists, difficulty with transportation and mental health stigma (Segal et al., 2018).

In this blog I will be exploring various issues that impact adults with normal and abnormal mental health as they navigate the health care system.

What is integrated care?

Image from Better Health Together. Western Sydney Integrated Care Program

Integrated care refers to bringing together inputs, delivery, management and organization of services as a way to improve access and quality of services, improve efficiency and patient satisfaction. (Plochg, Ilinca, & Noordegraaf, 2017). When looking at our current health system, health issues are being managed in a disconnected and fragmented way where there is no coordination of services across providers, settings or in the timing of the care that is provided (de Carvalho et al., 2017). This makes it difficult for patients who want to access services to know where to go and if they are accessing different services many times they have to repeat their health history due to a disjointed system. The Ontario provincial government has been exploring ways to improve health care in the province and one of the ways they have been looking to do that is through the integration of the healthcare system. The goal of integrated healthcare models is to connect health and social systems to improve the coordination of services across the different sectors and enhance patient and caregiver experience (Kirst et al., 2017).

The population in Canada is increasingly aging and the care needs of aging adults will increase exponentially. As people age and experience normal mental health decline, they become more vulnerable for getting more serious mental health illnesses and living with more complex and interrelated mental, physical and social health issues (Salinda, n.d.). The complicated interactions of physical and mental health for older adults which need close supervision of a patient’s physical well-being require collaboration among providers. (Segal, Qualls, & Smyer, 2018). There is a need to have a healthcare system that is responsive to these needs and not treat them separately. In an integrated system an individual experiencing physical, mental and social change would have their services coordinated and connected across sectors. Evidence suggest that for patients with chronic and combined physical and mental health conditions, care that is integrated leads to better results and is more cost efficient (Oldham, 2013).

Bringing health and social services together

Medical and mental health and addiction systems exist in separate silos, making it difficult for patients to navigate (Sebastian, 2017). As previously mentioned, our current health system is mostly fragmented; with patients having to visit different providers related to either their mental health, social or medical needs. There is always an attempt to address all these three areas of need separately but we have to recognize that unless one’s basic needs are met, good overall health is hard to achieve (Sebastian, 2017). The lack of co-ordination and the lack of a holistic approach within health and social care for older persons result in unsatisfactory care (Gustafsson, Kristensson, Holst, Willman, & Bohman, 2013). These patients often struggle with knowing whom to call when they need non-emergent help and any information provided to them could be overwhelming.

Tom Sebastian talking about Integrated care: connecting medical and behavioral care

Is a case management model the answer? A case management model is a way of intervening in a fragmented health system with the aim of improving the coordination of different services, such as health and social care (Gustafsson et al., 2013). It has been suggested that medical and behavioral health care providers should work closely with social service providers to develop comprehensive care plans (Sebastian, 2017) and to improve continuity of care (Gustafsson et al., 2013). A case management system could work especially well for those patients who are having difficulty with their memories, by having one-point person to help them navigate the health and social systems.

An Integrated care model: Mental health and primary care

Mental health disorders account for about a quarter of all health related disabilities in the world and more patients get treatment for mental illness in primary care than in a mental health specially setting (Kroenke & Unutzer, 2017). In Ontario in order to access psychiatry services, you have to be admitted in an inpatient setting or get a referral from your primary care physician to a psychiatrist and wait times can be long for what are considered non-urgent cases. Primary care providers and mental health and addictions (MH&A) providers have been taking steps to collaborate and integrate care either within a single service or within a team where they share care planning and decision making, have a common medical record (Kates et al., 2011). Collaborative care models involve mental MH&A providers working with primary care while an integrated care model involves MH&A workers working within and as part of primary care and patients perceive it as a routine part of their health (Kroenke & Unutzer, 2017).

An example of this type of integrated care model has been established by the Hamilton Family Health Team Mental Health Program (HFHT-MHP) where mental health providers have been integrated into over 81 offices of 150 family physicians where the focus is on providing ready access mental health care in a place that is convenient and easy to access for patients with mental health issues (Kates, McPherson-Doe, & George, 2011). Some of the benefits of the program have been, reduced wait times for first assessment, access to MH&A for adults over age of 65 who would otherwise experience lengthy wait times, early detection and treatment of MH&A problems, communication and coordination of care among providers (ibid). Integrated and collaborative models of care have the potential of improving access to care and enhancing the experience of older adults, which is one of the goals of The People’s HealthCare Act, 2019. This type of model has the opportunity of engaging models of mental health care that are not just bio-medical and focused on medication for intervention, but also psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, stress and coping and family systems models by including other health professionals such as psychotherapists, social workers and psychologists.
