Actionable policies for integrated long-term care
Best Practice Spotlight
FLINT
FLINT: the European framework for long-term integrated care helps to characterise integrated long-term care (I-LTC) programmes by showing how various aspects—such as human, social, and organisational factors—are interconnected. This makes it easier to understand the impact of an I-LTC programme.
Overview
Laurel is an EU-funded project that aims to help care systems build better services for integrated long-term care.
Our project is studying existing systems and gathering insights into the regional and gender differences of long-term care provision.
Using this intelligence, we will produce actionable policy recommendations and training tools to help systems all over Europe deliver more effective and equitable care.
The following is an overview of our plan:
Develop methods and tools for mapping and characterising integrated long-term care services
Undertake a field study to identify the most innovative and effective services
Analyse the features and context-dependent factors of these services, including the best innovative practices and supporting technologies
Carry out qualitative research to generate a consensus on actionable policies by investigating change management strategies
Produce a white paper that gathers all the findings of the project into actionable policies for decision makers
Develop training courses and tools to make our findings accessible to those delivering care
