PARTICIPANTS
Our study is being carried out in six European countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, UK) comprising divergent care systems and models in several European sub-regions (North, Central and South Western Europe as well as in Eastern Europe). Partner organisations include academia, policy and service research institutions, providers, public and private health national agencies, and a large foundation working in the health and social care sectors. Apart from the main partners, the consortium includes the following collaborating partners: i) Experts who developed the original questionnaire from which eDESDE-LTC is drawn (ESMS-I); ii) Research experts from Academia in databases, operational research and formal ontology; iii) international organisations involved in the classification of services (OECD) and governmental organisations at three levels: 1) national (Ministry of Health, Bulgaria), regional (Departments of Health of Catalonia and Madrid in Spain) and municipal (Delegación de Igualdad y Salud, Ayuntamiento de Jeréz, Spain) . Their role is to provide advice on the development of the system based on their respective experience, to improve the assessment of feasibility and formal ontology, to explore links with other projects and organisations to eventually foster the use of this system or to link to other service assessment approaches.
