‘Good Care’ from the perspective of care workers
Background and aims of the study
The Chamber of Labour for Vienna has commissioned the European Centre to undertake an explorative study about how the various categories of professional care workers perceive quality of care. The aims of the study are to identify key-factors of quality in long-term care delivery and potential improvements of working conditions that may hamper or facilitate ‘good care’ in and across the various settings of long-term care provision.

Die Bedeutung von Kennzahlen im Rahmen des Nationalen Qualitätszertifikats (NQZ) / The Role of Performance Indicators in the Context of the Austrian National Quality Certificate
Over the past few years about 40 Austrian care homes have attained a certification according to the Austrian National Quality Certificate. During this process, the assessment of results has reportedly been one of the major challenges for care home managers and for external auditors. These experiences offer an important basis for identifying and assessing the utilisation of performance indicators by care homes.
Determinants of Use of Care in Slovenia and Austria (DET_CAREMIX)
Like most countries in Europe, Austria and Slovenia rely heavily on the family for the provision of long-term care (LTC).

This study uses the different institutional settings between the two countries to gain a better understanding of how older people make their choices regarding care, namely,
CARICT - ICT-based solutions for caregivers Assessing their impact on the sustainability of long-term care in an ageing Europe
The main goal of CARICT was to investigate the potential impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on informal carers of older people living in the community (e.g. relatives and friends) as well as on paid assistants employed by private households.
