Evidence-gathering and stakeholder-engagement activities followed the approach outlined in the report State of long-term care: a step-by-step implementation guide and were carried out by a team of international and national LTC experts. The assessment revealed four core areas of policy action that can promote sustainable transformation in long-term care in Ireland: 1) improving integration through redesigning and expanding mechanisms of coordination between sectors; 2) increasing public financing and restructuring financing mechanisms to pool resources; 3) investing in the care workforce— both formal and informal—through interventions to plan, train, recruit and retain health and care workers; and 4) ensuring interoperability and harmonization of information systems and strengthening capacity to analyse data to inform policies.enCC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGOhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/igoTechnical DocumentsWorld Health Organization
