Transcription

1 JRC-IPTS Stakeholder Consultation Workshop of the project "Long-term care strategies for independent living of elderly people (ICT-AGE"). Brussels, 27th March 2014 Results of WP2: Case studies of technology-based for independent living of elderly people at home (D2) Dr. Stephanie Carretero and Dr Csaba Kucsera Joint Research Centre (JRC) Institute for Prospective Technological Studies The European Commission s Research-Based Policy Support Organisation

2 OBJECTIVES AND TASKS

3 ANALYSE the STRATEGIES to design and implement 5 technology-based services: Case study research Deliverable 2: Case studies analysis Apr 2014 interim, March 2014 Status: Preliminary results - First approach

4 METHODOLOGY

5 Methodology Selection of cases Variables and instrument Procedure for data collection: literature review and interviews Data analysis of the 5 cases (individual) and cross-analysis (still in development)

6 SELECTION OF CASES 5 good practices of 14 in D1: Availability of data and information in the literature on the variables of analysis The soundness of the effectiveness Representation of countries. Representation of the main types of technologybased services for independent living for older adults at home. VARIABLES AND INSTRUMENT Business case Business model (Technolage) Organisational change Technological components Technical standards and norms Quality of the service Training activities Scale dimension Policy role Evaluation effectiveness

7 Five good practices for case studies: TECHNOLOGIES GOOD PRACTICE NAME LEVEL OF NEEDS COUNTRY Assistive technology + telecare Home automation and advanced telecare (Esoppe project) Frail FR Assistive technology (robot) HAL Frail JP Technology-based health care telemonitoring Technology-based home care First discussion at the Stakeholder Validation Workshop: 27th March in Brussels Careline home Chronic conditions SP ACTION Caring Chronic conditions and informal carers SE Technology-based home care - telecare/telehealth Scottish Telecare Development Programme All UK

8 RESULTS: first approach to cross-analysis

9 Business cases are motivated by the challenge of governments to reduce costs, increase the productivity of the care sector, and to develop a competitive industry (regional policy). The business models work mainly because: Different public institutions are participating in the cost of the service Multiple complementary actors are working in partneship to design, implement and deliver an appropiate service: Regional and local actors: leading role of regions Industry Universities or research centeres Financial actors Public and private care providers Two clear models appear: 1) The public sector leads the implementation or 2) the public sector delegated the implementation to third-parties, with efficacy is controlled.

10 How the quality of the service is assured needs more visibility Standards and norms are a huge field, not always specifically addressed, and an important ingredient for the good functioning of the technology-based service Training seems a key activity: It is usually targeted to different actors not only end-users (elderly people, carers), but also to installers and engineers. There is also an aim to provide them with digital and care competences as well as new and qualified jobs in this sector through demostrator, knowledge transfer and professional and university diploma from technological centres and universities.

12 DEBATE Methodology: Do you have suggestions for the methodology? Are the variables analysed enough to produce policy guidelines?

13 DEBATE Results: How could we promote partnerships? Which models of implementation by the public sector could be better? Leader vs Delegated Quality? More policy attention? (WeDo proposal)

14 DEBATE Results: Which standards and norms could policy makers need to take into account? Could training promote the use and development of the sector of technology-based services for independent living and LTC in general? Role of regional government?

15 Thank you very much for your attention!
