Objective

CareKeys develops, validates and disseminates methods and performance indicators for evaluation of quality, cost-effectiveness and equity of the care of older persons. Special focus is on linking the client preferences and quality of life objectives to the professional and managerial objectives of high quality care, and on establishing a clear validity to the indicators and models to be developed. Practical objective is to provide a reliable, easy-to-use Tookit with key quality indicators for practical care management. CareKeys will support European regions in developing and maintaining good quality, integrated care for older Europeans. Social and Health Economic research, Best Practice Modelling and user trials are used to achieve these goals. The main result is a Handbook on the CareKeys Quality (client quality, professional quality, management quality) Management Model. The methodology will be documented for further IT-development.
