  • Inclusion of older people, carers, health and social care practitioners, and managers.

    • Main Results:

    • Three major themes impacted SAP implementation: policy/change process, health/social care boundaries, and communication/assessment sharing.
    • Frontline practitioners significantly influenced SAP adoption through engagement, collaboration, and data sharing.
    • Reluctance among practitioners to fully engage with the SAP process was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Successful national SAP implementation hinges on engaging frontline practitioners.
    • Addressing inter-professional boundaries and improving communication are vital for SAP success.
    • Policy implementation requires active involvement and buy-in from those delivering care.
