Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A key challenge for healthcare systems is to provide adequate healthcare for elderly people. Thus, aged care plays an integral role in care in an aging society. Aged care, or elderly care, is the term for daily living and nursing care services provided to older people who either need some help at home or can no longer live independently. Various institutions and different organizational forms are important in providing aged care and could have an impact on relevant patient outcomes, such as maintaining independence or ensuring quality of life.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge on the perspectives of aged care and should consider different levels, such as the micro (home), meso (community), and macro level (society).
Healthcare concepts which provide an innovative approach on perspectives of aged care performed by advanced research methods, such as prospective longitudinal designs, random controlled trials, meta-analyses, innovative technologies, and the application of these methods and technologies, are invited for this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard with a practical focus on providing optimal care in an aging society. Manuscripts from different disciplines are welcome so we can achieve a broad perspective of aged care.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Healthcare.
