The Criteria for Designing or Evaluating a Long-Term Care
System
• What are they?
• How were they developed?
• How are they used?

Be consumer-driven Meet all of the needs of the consumers Focus on the individual, recognizing that individuals have unique needs Respect different cultures and cultural values

Be universally accessible Be "user-friendly" Provide care in the least restrictive
environment
Encourage single-site care availability

effectiveness. It should:
Include a full continuum of services Include a full and uniform assessment
(initial & ongoing) of the consumer's needs. Provide emphasis on, and reimbursement
for, illness prevention efforts as an integral part of the overall system

Criterion V. The long-term care system should be
adequately and fairly financed. It should:
Utilize public and consumer resources to assure universal access to services.
Provide incentives for consumers to use services in an appropriate and cost effective manner

Criterion V. (continued) Adequately and fairly financed:
Avoid causing impoverishment of consumers and families
Provide incentives for providers to develop cost effective measures
Develop payment mechanisms that allow efficient providers to adequately compensate staff and to allow for appropriate operating surplus and/or return on investment

Criterion V. (continued) Adequately and fairly financed:
Operate within the limits of a well conceived budget
Provide significant flexibility to enable consumers to meet long-term care needs as each consumer defines those needs
Be based on uniform financial eligibility criteria

In Summary:
The Criteria provide a basis for evaluating the current long-term care
system and for developing an ideal long-term care system.
