Long-term care financing and policy: Insights from a pilot program in China

该项目旨在通过对替代供资和提供机制进行全面评估，促进全球对长期护理的了解和政策制定。该项目借鉴中国独特的LTC交付试点，旨在估计和评估LTC成本和使用情况，并将其与国际经验相结合，以量化替代政策结构的影响。通过旨在纳入试点提供的实时数据的方法进步，该项目旨在大幅改善对长期护理使用和成本的预测，这对全球政府和保险业至关重要。利用澳大利亚和中国研究人员之间强大的伙伴关系，它旨在为中国的政策和行业规划提供所需的证据基础，并推动全球知识以应对这一挑战。

This project aims to advance global knowledge and policy development around long-term care (LTC) provision by undertaking a comprehensive assessment of alternative funding and provision mechanisms. Drawing on a unique pilot of LTC delivery in China, the project aims to estimate and assess LTC cost and usage, and link this with international experience to quantify the impacts of alternative policy structures. Through methodological advances designed to incorporate the real-time data made available under the pilot, this project aims to deliver significantly improved projections of LTC usage and costs that will be important to governments and the insurance industry, globally. Leveraging a strong partnership between Australian and Chinese researchers, it aims to provide the evidence base needed for policy and industry planning in China, and to advance global knowledge to deal with this challenge.
