Identifying barriers, facilitators and recommendations to long-term care Covid-19 infection prevention and control preparedness and response (Canadian Foundation for Health Improvement and Canadian Patient Safety Institute)

This research analyzes 25 interviews with long-term care and retirement homes stakeholders from across Canada, to:

  • identify barriers and facilitators to, as well as needs and recommendations for, Covid-19 preparedness in these settings;
  • map relevant tools and resources from the “IPAC+ Resource Library” that can be leveraged as support.

Interviewees were asked to describe the factors that contributed to Covid-19 outbreaks, identify promising practices with the potential for short-term spread and scale, and provide suggestions on how to maintain essential non-Covid-19 care for older adults.
