“…However, there remains a dearth of literature on how care coordination across healthcare and social services differs from coordination within the realm of healthcare alone [63]. Although none of the reviewed articles illustrated how financial incentives can specifically drive the quality of care coordination process in Singapore, many other studies beyond Singapore had illustrated that a pay-for-performance financial incentive structure paid to providers for a particular service dimension, i.e., care coordination, warrants further exploration [92][93][94].…”

A projected rise in patients with complex health needs and a rapidly ageing population will place an increased burden on the healthcare system. Care coordination can bridge potential gaps during care transitions and across the care continuum to facilitate care integration and the delivery of personalised care. Despite having a national strategic vision of improving care integration across different levels of care and community partners, there is no consolidation of evidence specifically on the salient dimensions of care coordination in the Singapore healthcare context. Hence, this scoping review aims to uncover the key themes that facilitate care coordination for patients with chronic conditions in Singapore to be managed in the community while illuminating under-researched areas in care coordination requiring further exploration. The databases searched were PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Results from Google Scholar were also included. Two independent reviewers screened articles in a two-stage screening process based on the Cochrane scoping review guidelines. Recommendation for inclusion was indicated on a three-point scale and rating conflicts were resolved through discussion. Of the 5792 articles identified, 28 were included in the final review. Key cross-cutting themes such as having standards and guidelines for care programmes, forging stronger partnerships across providers, an interoperable information system across care interfaces, strong programme leadership, financial and technical resource availabilities and patient and provider-specific factors emerged. This review also recommends leveraging these themes to align with Singapore’s national healthcare vision to contain rising healthcare costs.

First (1), we developed a conceptual model based on Donabedian's quality framework and literature review carried out by Wieczorek and colleagues [4,6,15].

“…The search strategy was consulted with an academic health sciences librarian. The detail on the review methodology can be found in the published articles [4,6] and on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) platform under identification number CRD42020162566. The review results were used to build on the item pool by identifying key core organizational and financial aspects that are relevant for care transition.…”

“…Nonetheless, not only organizational aspects may affect the care transition of older adults. A recent study by Wieczorek and colleagues [6] pinpointed the importance of financial aspects (provider payment mechanism, reward, and penalty) and their impact on care transition in long-term care systems. A growing body of evidence suggests that a high proportion of care transitions among older adults is far from optimal.…”

Background Improving the quality and safety of care transitions is a priority in many countries. Carrying out performance measurements play a significant role in improving quality of decisions undertaken by different actors involved in reforms. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to present the development of an evaluation tool for assessing the performance of long-term care systems in relation to care transition, namely the Transitional Care Assessment Tool in Long-Term Care (TCAT-LTC). This study is performed as part of a larger European TRANS-SENIOR project. Methods The development of the TCAT-LTC involved three steps. First, we developed a conceptual model based on Donabedian’s quality framework and literature review. Second, we carried out a thorough process of item pool generation using deductive (systematic literature review) and deductive-inductive methods (in-depth interviews) with experts in the field of long-term care. Third, we conducted preliminary validation of the tool by asking experts in research and practice to provide an opinion on a tool and to assess content validity. Future fourth step will involve a tool’s pilot with country experts from Germany, the Netherlands and Poland. Results By applying methodological triangulation, we developed the TCAT-LTC, which consists of 2 themes, 12 categories and 63 items. Themes include organizational and financial aspects. Organizational aspects include categories such as communication, transfer of information, availability and coordination of resources, training and education of staff, education/support of the patient/informal caregiver, involvement of the patient/informal caregiver, telemedicine and e-Health, and social care. Financial aspects include categories such as primary care, hospital, and long-term care. We also present the instructions on the application of the TCAT-LTC. Conclusions In this paper, we presented the development of the TCAT-LTC evaluation tool for assessing the performance of long-term care systems in relation to care transition. The TCAT-LTC is the first tool to assess the performance of long-term care systems in relation to care transition. Assessments can be carried out at the national and international level and enable to monitor, evaluate, and compare performance of the long-term care systems in relation to care transition within and across countries.
