| Annotation | Planning of long-term care (LTC) focuses on four themes: developing priorities; setting up human service organisations governed by a set of rules and procedures; choosing objectives to which participants and organisations are committed; and mobilising resources. A conceptual scheme for LTC could draw on each of these elements. The authors have identified 12 action processes derived from the four elements, which are to be examined whenever LTC planning is undertaken. These processes allow information from the four structural elements to circulate between them. For example, priority, organisation and objectives are sources of information when choosing criteria for the allocation of resources. Thus, the processes form bridges between the planning elements. These bridges must be used whenever planning is undertaken, to ensure that all elements are given equal weight. Whichever element is used as a starting point for LTC planning, the process knits the structural elements together into a whole. (RH). |
