Abstract
Objectives
Many countries have reformed their long-term care system to promote aging-in-place. Currently, there is no framework for evaluating these reforms. This review aimed to identify performance indicators used for aging-in-place reform evaluation.
Design
A scoping review and evidence map of literature following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist.
Setting and participants
Long-term care reforms aimed at aging-in-place.
Methods
The databases Medline, Embase, and Academic Search Premier were searched. Three independent reviewers screened the articles. Pairs of data collectors extracted the data, with conflicts determined by agreement or by a third reviewer. Performance indicators were classified into the Donabedian framework as structure, process, or outcome.
Results
We retained 58 articles. From the included articles, 28 discussed structure indicators, comprising of 71 indicators in the domains expenditures, care availability, and workforce; 36 articles included process indicators comprising 80 indicators about care utilization, service quality, and service satisfaction; and 20 articles reported on outcome indicators comprising 34 indicators about health status and informal caregiving.
Conclusion and Implications
Most articles focused on the performance domains care expenditures and care utilization, whereas measuring effects on older adults and society was less common. A framework assessing system and services delivery indicators and the effects on those aging-in-place with actionable performance indicators is recommended.
