Imagine trying to organize a complex care system for elderly or disabled people across 27 different countries, where every region does things differently. This work maps out who is doing what and which tools actually work to make care more personal and affordable. It's like creating a master guidebook for governments and companies to fix staffing shortages and service gaps.
Long-term care systems are struggling with rising demand due to an ageing population, severe workforce shortages, and significant gaps in service quality between rural and urban areas.
A set of mapping tools for I-LTC services, a field study of innovative practices, a white paper with policy recommendations, and training courses.
If you are a technology developer dealing with low adoption of care tools — this project developed a set of methods to analyze the conditions that support the adoption of supporting technologies. This helps you align your product features with the actual needs of integrated care systems.
If you are a care provider dealing with workforce shortages and quality gaps — this project developed a field study across the EU27 to identify the most successful innovative practices. You can use these insights to optimize your service delivery and staffing models.
If you are a government body dealing with rural-urban gaps in care access — this project developed actionable policies and a white paper to transition to integrated care. This provides a blueprint for reducing territorial inequalities in service provision.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost information for the tools is provided.
The project focuses on mapping and identifying successful practices across the EU27 to create actionable policies, which provides the strategic basis for scaling these services.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific patents or licensing agreements; the output is primarily policy-driven and focused on a white paper and training tools.
The project specifically aims to develop actionable policies and a white paper to guide the transition to integrated long-term care across the EU27.
The project runs from 2024-02-01 to 2027-04-30, suggesting that the final policy recommendations will be available by April 2027.
The consortium consists of 9 partners from 3 countries (BE, ES, NL). It is heavily weighted toward research and non-profit entities, with 3 research organizations, 1 university, and 4 'other' entities. Only 1 industry partner is present, resulting in a low industry ratio of 11%, though 4 SMEs are involved, suggesting the project is more focused on policy and academic research than immediate commercial product development.
