Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health Policy
  • Healthcare Administration

Background:

  • Long-term care institutions for the elderly require effective government regulation to ensure quality of care.
  • Existing surveillance systems often lack uniformity and objectivity, limiting their effectiveness.
  • Resident participation and public transparency are crucial for improving institutional oversight.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a program to enhance government regulation of long-term care institutions for the elderly.
  • To introduce greater uniformity and objectivity into the surveillance system for these facilities.
  • To increase resident participation and public access to regulatory instruments and criteria.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a comprehensive program in collaboration with relevant government ministries.
