Overview

This Glossary of terms has been developed to accompany the report State of long-term care: a conceptual framework for assessment and continuous learning in long-term care systems to facilitate understanding of key long-term care concepts for a diverse range of stakeholders involved in long-term care policy, planning, delivery, evaluation and research. It includes 60 definitions derived from international guidance and refined through expert review and national stakeholder engagement. Aiming to promote consistency and alignment, this living document will evolve alongside long-term care systems in the WHO European Region, reflecting ongoing developments.
