“…Integrated care refers to services that coordinate different levels of care, including healthcare and long-term care, rehabilitation, palliative and end-of-life care matched to the unique, varied and often complex needs of people throughout the course of their lives [36]. Integrated care aims to shift from inpatient care to ambulatory and outpatient care, to more home-based interventions, to community engagement and to a fully coordinated referral system.…”

The ageing of the global population is the most important medical and social demographic problem worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined healthy ageing as a process of maintaining functional ability to enable wellbeing in older age. The WHO, Member States and Partners for Sustainable Development Goals have created a Global Strategy and Action Plan for Ageing and Health for 2016-2020 and its continuation with the WHO programme The Decade of Healthy Ageing 2020-2030. The WHO has established main priorities such as supporting country planning and action, collecting better global data and promoting research on healthy ageing, aligning health systems to the needs of older people, laying the foundations and ensuring the human resources necessary for long-term integrated care, undertaking a global campaign to combat ageism, and enhancing the global network for age-friendly cities and communities. There are several reports of coordinated preventive health and social health initiatives in well developed countries. However, there is little evidence on the application of the active ageing frameworks in developing countries. Greater national capacities and closer monitoring of the progress through age-disaggregated data is needed to effectively implement the intended programmes on healthy ageing.

“…For this purpose, the main results of the literature research, expert interviews and focus group discussions were outlined and concrete recommendations were developed ( Table 1). The emphasis was put on how well the framework for action for the reference site Styria matched the criteria launched by the reference site collaborative network (RSCN) (5,6). This final conclusive methodological step was conducted over 4 months.…”

“…Several calls for individual partner and regional commitments have been launched. To date, the EU has awarded 77 European regions the status of “reference sites for active and healthy aging” ( 4 ), which are coordinated and deployed under the umbrella of the Reference Site Collaborative Network (RSCN) ( 5 ). Reference Sites (RS) are “ecosystems which comprise various players (including regional and/or local government authorities, cities, hospitals/care organizations, industry, SMEs and/or start-ups, research and innovation organizations including universities and civil society), that jointly implement a comprehensive, innovation-based approach to active and healthy aging, and can give evidence and concrete illustrations of the impact of such approaches on the ground” ( 5 , 6 ).…”

Strategy for Deployment of Integrated Healthy Aging Regions Based Upon an Evidence-Based Regional Ecosystem—The Styria Model

et al. 2020

In 2013, the European Commission founded the platform European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Aging as a communication and innovation network in this domain. The goal of the current study was the development of an integrated regional ecosystem for active and healthy aging for the region of Styria via a step-by-step co-creation process. A mixed model approach was used to establish an ecosystem for active and healthy aging, which includes macro-, meso-and micro-level stakeholders in the province of Styria, Austria. Based on the results, eight recommendations for the deployment of a healthy aging region were developed. The visibility and accessibility of healthy aging products and services were evaluated as key factors for innovation in active and healthy aging in the region. Health professionals were identified as major drivers of innovation related to active and healthy aging in Styria. The study presented in this article assessed the capacities for healthy aging in the Styria region and identified the need to improve communication pathways between all levels of the public health system and market.
