Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Data on implemented policies, collected through an online survey to policymakers at a single timepoint. 2. Issues around health and social care integration that are important from a service users’ and evidence users’ perspective measured using panel discussions at a single timepoint. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured using the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) databases at a single timepoint: 1. Health system performance will be measured using gender and age-specific volumes of A&E attendances, emergency admissions and total inpatient bed days from Hospital Episode Statistics. 2. Delayed Transfers of Care data will be used to measure days of delayed transfer with specific social care causes plausibly attributable to awaiting long-term placement in care homes. 3. Care home staff satisfaction will be proxied using turnover rates and days of sickness absence derived from the Adult Social Care Workforce dataset. 4. Good management of the end-of-life will be measured by the percentage of care home residents dying in/out of hospital. 5. Supply of residential and nursing beds (relative to population), average prices for LA-funded care home residents, and quality of care home places across multiple domains. | — |
