A comprehensive experience-based framework of actionable priorities to enhance Canada’s health and social care system: discussions with older persons, clinicians, managers, and decision-makers using nominal group technique
This study illustrates the complex challenges of caring for older persons. The framework suggests several areas for improvement in care practices and policies for older persons and caregivers. Proposed intervention targets include public healthcare system navigators, standardized goals of care practices respecting persons' wishes, formal recognition of caregiver contributions, society-level education, cross-sectoral initiatives, and holistic approaches.
