Original Title:
État des connaissances: évaluation du continuum de soins et services aux aînés , perspectives pour l’évolution de la mesure
Authors' objectives:
This state of knowledge incorporates scientific data culled over the course of four literature
reviews; contextual data derived from the grey literature for construction of an indicator
inventory; and experiential data collected during a consultation of experts that focused on
the preferred indicators for assessing the SAPA continuum. The first literature review did
not allow to identify comprehensive measurement and assessment frameworks for
integrated senior services in jurisdictions comparable to Quebec. This finding corroborated
the relevance of the procedure but also raised the need to approach the continuum
assessment from a different angle, i.e., from the users’ point of view. Consequently, the
second literature review examined seniors’ health needs and preferences. The priorities of
seniors include improving physical and mental health, safety, autonomy, reducing
caregiver burden and communicating information to users about their health status. These
results provide an essential perspective for purposes of assessing the quality of the senior
care and services continuum.
