Social Innovation in the Provision of Services in Long-term Care
Journal Title: European Journal of Mental Health - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
The present study focuses on the potential of extension of social innovation in social services in long-term care. The aim of the paper is to analyse barriers and drivers according to different care regimes: 1. standard care-mix regimes; 2. universal-Nordic; 3. family-based; 4. Central and Eastern European. Applying different qualitative methods (mapping of initiatives, 62 good examples of which 18 were in-depth, expert interviews, focus groups), the paper is going to explore similarities and differences between care regimes with a special focus on Central and Eastern Europe to see whether the Central and Eastern European care regime can be considered as a special one or not. It becomes clear from the analysis that there are similarities and differences between the individual care regimes and it is of fundamental importance that these as well as the good practices should be widely known and transferred or adapted to the given care structure. This requires continuous mapping and research. Soziale Innovation bei der Leistungserbringung in der Langzeitpflege: Der Schwerpunkt dieser Studie liegt auf dem Potenzial der Anwendung sozialer Innovation bei der Leistungserbringung in der Langzeitpflege. Ziel ist die Analyse der Barrieren und der Motivationen in den verschiedenen Pflegeregimen: 1. Standardregime mit einem Pflegemix, 2. universell-nordisch, 3. familienbasiert, 4. mittel- und osteuropäisch. Es werden verschiedene qualitative Methoden (Erfassung der Initiativen, 62 gute Beispiele, von denen 18 eingehend behandelt werden, Befragungen von Fachleuten, Fokusgruppen) angewandt, um Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen den Pflegeregimen festzustellen. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf Mittel- und Osteuropa, um festzustellen, ob das mittel- und osteuropäische Pflegeregime als besonderes zu betrachten ist oder nicht. Die Analyse zeigt, dass es Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen den Pflegeregimen gibt und es von grundlegender Wichtigkeit ist, dass diese Regime und auch die bewährten Initiativen weithin bekannt sind (werden) oder an die jeweilige Struktur angepasst werden. Das erfordert kontinuierliche Erhebungen und Forschungen.
