AnnotationWhile the number of older people in need of care is projected to at least double, governments are struggling to deliver high-quality care to people facing reduced functional and cognitive capabilities. Based on a recent OECD and EC report, this policy brief looks at data and policies to measure quality in long-term care and drive standards of care up. It considers: the measures of long-term care quality that are collected; the main regulatory approaches to encourage quality of long-term care; and how care processes can be better standardised for better quality. It outlines the measuring and monitoring of long-term care in Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden and the United States. (RH).
