Purpose
Develop actionable policies for adopting high-quality integrated long-term care
Expected Outcomes
- Develop a set of methods and tools for mapping and characterising integrated long-term care services in the EU, covering: availability and accessibility, affordability, reliability, quality, workforce, funding, governance, autonomy and empowerment, and supporting technologies; and transversally incorporating the gender perspective and regional differences (rural/urban gap).
- Undertake a field study in EU to identify the most successful innovative practices.
- Analyse the features of identified integrated long-term care services and context-dependent factors that provide insights into policies for the adoption/development of the best innovative practices, including supporting technologies.
- Use this analysis to carry out qualitative research in the EU to generate a consensus on actionable policies favouring a shift to integrated long-term care, by investigating the change management strategies that favour policy adoption.
- Produce a white paper on I-LTC that gathers together all the findings of the project and the consensually agreed actionable policies.
- Develop a set of training courses and tools to maximise the impact of the results.
AGE involvement
