This workshop will bring together LTC leaders from Asia, Canada, Europe and the USA to look at PALTC organizational models including legislative frameworks, funding, quality assessments, improvement activities and inspections. This session will examine quality assessment matrix and related regulatory interventions present in different countries. We will place special emphasis on evidence of outcomes of assessments and
regulatory interventions to further quality care in PALTC. The goal of this session is to enrich understanding on best practice models of measuring and enhancing quality are in PALTC and start building an international framework on how to optimally measure and drive quality in PALTC.

While our goal is for all panel members to attend in person, due to uncertainty of the global pandemic we will include brief pre-recorded videos in addition to the in person panelists.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:

Examine the intended and unintended consequences of quality reporting and inspection processes in different countries and what evidence shows possible best practices
