The direct cost of disability of community-dwelling older persons in Belgium
Current policies aim to promote and develop community-based support of disabled elderly persons, yet knowledge of the cost implications is insufficient. Thus, we aimed to estimate, for three disability profiles and three presence levels of the main informal carer (none, non-cohabitant, cohabitant), the cost of formal and informal support currently provided at home in Belgium. In this cross-sectional study, a sample of 5,642 disabled elderly perso…
A systematic review of questionnaires used to measure the time spent on family care for frail older people
Time spent on family care of frail older people is difficult to substantiate because of its complex nature. The aim of this study is to check the content validity of existing questionnaires measuring the time spent on caring. Comparing the activities mentioned in the questionnaires with those from other data sources (three validated scales measuring the functional limitations in day-to-day activities and a qualitative study) enabled identificatio…
Evaluation of the effectiveness of complex health care interventions
Introduction: The aim is to present the evaluation of effectiveness of case management interventions, designed from the bottom-up, which have been implemented in Belgium since 2010 to support dependent elderly people at home. This type of intervention is an integrated care process which combines prevention, evaluation, custom designed multidisciplinary care plan, coordination of services and follow-up. Mixed methods are necessary for covering the…

The economic impact of the case management projects for community-dwelling frail older people
Can case management be an asset to home care interventions in order to delay institutionalization of frail older persons? A Belgian longitudinal study
Background / Objective: In the international literature, case management is often found to be a valuable way of organizing home care services and providing continuity of care. However, not many studies have provided evidence that case management can be effective in delaying institutionalization of older persons. The Belgian federal government is interested in funding home care projects that attain this goal. Twenty two case management projects wi…
The effect of innovative home care projects on the perceived burden of informal caregivers
Purpose/objectives: The Belgian National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance (NIHDI) is interested in delaying institutionalization of older persons. Informal caregivers play an important role in maintaining the health, well-being, functional performance and quality of life of older people living at home. The aim of this paper is to identify whether innovative projects in home care are statistically associated with decreasing the inform…
