1 Introduction

TheSPRINTprojectaimstogivemeaningtotheconceptofsocial investmentasappliedtolong-termcareprovision.TosupporttheSPRINTproject,thisdeliverableexploreskeyconceptsthatwillbe used in the project and their application within the project. It aims to set out a commonvocabularytosupportgreaterunderstandingofthenotionofsocialinvestmentinlong-termcareandrelatedissues.

These concepts cover key aspects of the SPRINT project, from social investment (WP2; Lopez2017), economic costs (WP4), social impacts (WP4) and return on investment (WP5). The coreconcept of the SPRINT project is that of “social investment in long-term care”. This concept isexploredindetailintheaccompanyingConceptualReportonLong-termCare(D2.1;Lopez2017).

2 Methods

Following identification of the key concepts through dialogue among members of the SPRINTconsortium, a range of individual experts and sources of commentary on and use of theseconceptswasconsulted.

Concepts are listed in alphabetical order. There is considerable interconnection betweenmanyconcepts,asnotedinthedescriptions.

3.1 AssistiveTechnology

Assistive technologies have been available formany years. They generally use information andcommunicationtechnology(ICT)tosupportpeoplewithhealthand/orsocialcareneedsremotely,oftenintheindividual’sownhome,althoughthereisnowgrowingexperimentationandutilisationinother settings such asnursinghome facilities, andon amobilebasis. (Parts of this entry areadaptedfromBarlowandKnapp(2014).)

Development of assistive technologies has been driven, on the supply side, by technologicaladvances insensingequipmentanddataprocessing,andon thedemandsidebygrowingpolicyconcerns about the affordability of conventional health and social care arrangements forsupporting older people as populations age. Another demand-side factor has been growth inexpectationsaboutwhatindividualswithcareneedsshouldreceive,bothintermsoftheamountandqualityofcare,butalsointermsofmorepersonalisedsupportarrangements.

Assistivetechnologies could deliver: information and advice; safety and security monitoring; vital signsmonitoring; or lifestyle monitoring (e.g. tracking movement). These technologies involve morethan just the deployment of physical devices; they usually need to be accompanied byorganisational and service delivery changes underpinned by interactive and non-interactivetransmissionofdigitaldata.

Twosalientconsiderationsaboutassistivetechnologiesshouldbeemphasised.First,thespeedoftechnologicaldevelopment is rapid, so thatevaluationsmight sometimesbeoutofdateby thetime they are completed. Second, technology developers and suppliers, as well as public andprivatepurchasers,areincreasinglylookingtocustomiseorpersonalisetechnologiestofitbetterwiththeneeds,circumstancesandpreferencesofindividualswithlong-termcareneeds,andalsowith the care or support setting (where appropriate). Both of these considerations can causecomplicationswhenthinkingaboutsocialinvestment.

Informalcare

Theterm‘informalcare’hasanumberofdifferentdefinitions;itgenerallyreferstocaredeliveredbyindividualswhohavenotreceivedformaltrainingincaredelivery.Informalcarers(sometimescalled simply ‘carers’ or ‘caregivers’) are frequently partners, family members, friends orneighboursof recipients,providing careand supportona regularbasis, typicallyathome.Theycan be unpaid or paid, either in cash or kind(adapted from Freeman et al. 2017.) The OECDdefinitionof informalcarers is ‘individualsprovidingLTCservicesonaregularbasis,oftenonanunpaid basis and without contract, for example spouses/partners, family members, as well asneighbours or friends’ (Colombo et al. 2011). (It should be noted that terminology is notuniversallyagreed,andtheterm‘informal’carerisnotlikedbysomecarergroupsintheUKandnownotoftenused.)

3.4 CostsofCare

Twoofthekeyquestionsthatwillfrequentlybeaskedwhenconsideringwhethertorecommend,commissionordeliveraparticularinterventionare:doestheinterventionwork,andisitworthit?(Hereweustheterm‘intervention’torefertoservices,preventivestrategies,specifictherapiesorconfigurationsofsupportthatarerelevantto long-termcare.)The‘Doesitwork?’questionaskswhether the intervention is effective in achieving outcomes (which are defined and discussedbelow),suchasimprovingindependenceorwellbeing.Iftheanswertothisfirstquestionislikelyto be yes (i.e. the intervention appears to be effective, ideally because robust research hasdemonstratedthatbetteroutcomesarelikelytobeachieved),thenthesecondquestionneedstobe asked. The ‘Is it worth it?’ question asks whether the outcomes are worth the resourcesneededtoachievethem.Thesecondquestioniswhataneconomicevaluationseekstoaddress.Bothquestionsneedtobeansweredbyreferencetoacomparator:doestheintervention‘work’betterthanthealternative(wherethealternativecouldbe‘doingnothing’),andaretheoutcomes‘worthit’byreferencetohowtheresources(money)couldotherwisehavebeenspent.

There are therefore three principal components to a cost-effectiveness evaluation: (a) two ormoreinterventionsthatarebeingcompared;(b)theoutcomesofeachofthem;and(c)thecostsassociatedwitheachofthem.

Economic evaluations come in different forms: in health and social care contexts the mostcommonarecost-effectivenessanalysis,cost-utilityanalysisandcost-benefitanalysis.

Cost-effectivenessanalysis

If the policy, practice or research question to be addressed to social investment is solelyconcernedwith improvingthewellbeingofaparticulargroupofpeople–sayolderpeoplewithdementia–then,foraneconomicevaluation,informationisneededonthecomparativecostsofthevarious interventionsbeingconsidered,andalsoonthecomparativeoutcomes,whichcouldbemeasured in termsof (say)wellbeing,behaviour,cognition, independence in theactivitiesofdailyliving.Thistypeofevaluationisusuallyreferredtoasacost-effectivenessanalysis(CEA)inhealtheconomics,andthesamelabelcanbe(andhasbeen)usedinsocialcarecontextsformorethan30 years (Knapp1984).ACEA tells decision-makerswhat courseof actionmost efficientlymeetsaspecificsetofclinicalneeds.

We should also note that the term ‘cost-effectiveness’ is used in health economics to describebothaspecifictypeofeconomicevaluation(ashere)aswellastorefergenericallytothegroupofalleconomicevaluations.

Cost-utilityanalysis

Manydecisionsthatneedtobetakenwithregardtothedeploymentofresourcesraisebroaderquestions. For example, how should resources be allocated between supporting adults with

The decision-maker therefore needs a common measure of outcome that isrelevant across both groups. In healthcare research, two commonly used genericmeasures areutility – operationalised in terms of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) – and disability – oftenmeasured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Using this kind of generic outcomemeasureallows the evaluation to addressmore strategic issues. This typeof evaluation is often called acost-utilityanalysisbyhealtheconomists.Insocialcare,therehasnotbeenanequivalenttotheQALYuntilrelativelyrecently,buttherearenowtwosuchgenericoutcomeconstructsbeingusedinsomecountries:socialcare-relatedqualityoflife(SCRQoL)asmeasuredbytheAdultSocialCareOutcomesToolkit(ASCOT;Nettenetal.2012)andwellbeingasmeasuredbyICECAP(Grewaletal.2006).[SeeOutcomemeasuresbelow.]

Cost-benefitanalysis

Some decision-makers need to decide how to allocate expenditure between social care,education, housing or other interventions, in the hope that available resources can be used toachieve their maximum impact. Until recently, the only outcome measure considered to beappropriateforsuchbroadcomparisons(alongsidethecosts)wasmonetary:theconsequencesofthedifferentprogrammeswouldneedtobeconvertedtomonetaryvalues.Thistypeofevaluationis calledacost-benefit analysis (CBA) inhealtheconomics contexts. Inmoregeneral evaluativeparlance,thetermcost-benefithasalsobeenusedinmoregenericways(torefertoalltypesofeconomicevaluation)aswellasinnarrowerways(suchaswhencomparingtheamountofmoneyexpendedwiththeamountthatissubsequentlysaved).Cost-benefitanalysesoftheconventionalvariety (with monetary benefits) are generally very difficult to undertake in long-term carecontexts,becausethemostrelevantoutcomes(suchaspersonalfunctioningandindependenceindailyliving)arehardtoconvertintomonetaryvalues.Recently,growingattentionhasbeengivento the possibility of expressing these common outcomes in terms of a common measure ofwellbeing (e.g. the current work of Richard Layard and others at LSE).

An economic or other evaluation should therefore generally discount (as in the sense of‘downplay’)thevalueoffutureeurossoastobeabletocomparethemtotoday'seuros.Therateof discount rate used in an evaluationmight followwhat is recommended at national level forpublicinvestmentappraisals.

3.6 Equity

Equity relates to the extent towhich outcomes, access to outputs and payments for them aredistributed fairly across individuals, regions or parts of a society. Most long-term care andhealthcare systems are inequitable in that their benefits arenot distributed inways thatmightwidely be seen as fair, due to the influence of social, economic, political or underlyingdemographic factors. Access to services (and, hence, access to the potential impacts of thoseservices in terms of better outcomes) may be unfairly distributed by gender, ethnicity, age,language,religion,income,socioeconomicgrouporplaceofresidence.

An examination of equity requires that a definition must be specified for ‘fairness’. Equity isgenerally not the sameasequality in theprovisionof services, as peopledonot have identicalneeds, so that an equitable allocation of resources would be likely to require giving moreresourcestopeoplewithgreaterneeds.Similarly,itmightbeseentobemoreequitabletoensurethatindividualswiththelowestabilitytopayforcareareaskedtopayloweramountsthanthosewith greater ability to pay (i.e. with greater wealth or higher incomes). The most commonlydiscussed aspects of equity are (a) whether incidence and prevalence of need are linked tosocioeconomicstatus,ethnicityorotherpersonalcharacteristics;(b)whetheraccessto(evidence-based) interventions is linked to type and level of need, as well as to these personalcharacteristics;and(c)whetherindividualfinancialcontributionsarelinkedtoabilitytopay.

How then is the concept of ‘fairness’ chosen? Equity could be defined or operationalized byreferencetovariouspoliticalphilosophies.Forexample,conventionalwelfareeconomicsisoftenassociatedwith utilitarian philosophy, seeking that distribution of resources that will maximizetotalwelfare (wellbeing) (Barr 2014). Rawls (1972) is one of a number of philosophers to havecriticisedutilitarianism;hesuggestedthemaximinprinciplethatpoliciesshouldbedesigned(andhencesocialinvestmentsplanned)soasmaximizethewellbeingoftheleastwell-offmembersofsociety. Collectivist philosophies emphasise equality, and libertarians emphasise autonomy andfreedomofchoicewhenmakejudgementsaboutequity.Thesearejustsomeexamplesofequitytheories.

Each provider of long-term care services could have a number of funding sources, includinggovernment(taxrevenues),socialinsurancefunds,voluntary(private)insurancecompanies,usersand families (out-of-pocket payments). Those providers might also benefit from the inputs of(unpaid)volunteers.Informalcarebyfamilymembersorothersis‘resourced’bytheunpaidinputsof those individuals. This has been called themixed economy of funding. Different sources offunding come with a host of potentially different conditions, constraints, incentives andopportunities.

Each transaction type hasaccompanyingneedsforappropriatelegislativeframeworkstocontrol,auditandmonitorthelinksbetween funding and provision.

Against this background, there has been more recent focus on what has been called‘marketisation’.Thetermhasanumberofdifferentmeanings,eachofthemreflectingsomepartofamixedeconomyofwelfare.Forexample,AntonnenandMeagher(2013)usethetermtoreferto apolicy change thathas ‘twodimensions:whetheror notmarketpractices and logics (mostnotably competition) are used in organising services and whether or not private actors,particularly for-profit companies, are involved in providing service’ (p.16).Marketisationby thisdefinition, therefore, refers to a particular sub-set of the various transaction types containedwithinabroadermixedeconomyofwelfarematrix.ManyEuropeancountrieshaveseenamovetowardsgreatermarketisationof long-termcare services forolderpeopleandotherpopulationgroups.

Another type of prevention is sometimes distinguished: quaternary prevention is defined asprotection from unnecessary medical or other care activity that could harm individuals orpopulations. An example in the health field would be over-medicalisation of what might beconsidered a ‘normal’ human condition or supplier-induced demand. In the social care area itcould include creating unnecessary dependency by not empowering an individual to makeindependentdecisionsintheirlives.

3.7 QualityofCare

Acommonlydiscussedindicatorofachievementinlong-termcareisqualityofcare,butitneedstobe seen as only an ‘intermediate’ measure of benefit. This is because quality of care, whilepotentiallyanimportantdeterminantofuseroutcome,isnotdirectlyameasureofthatoutcomeitself. It is concernedwith staff-client ratios, the suitabilityof thebuilt environment, staff-clientrelationships, social environment, safety and so on. Good quality of care by those criteria ispotentially important as an achievement, and goes beyond simply measuring the resourcesexpended on or devoted to long-term care, but the association between any quality of careindicatoranduseroutcomesislikelytobeheavilycontext-specificandindividual-specific(DaviesandKnapp1981).Inusinganyqualityofcareindicator(e.g.inaninspectionprocess,orinwritingcontractsforpublicsectorcommissioning),itisthereforefundamentallyimportanttobeconfidentthatthe indicator isstronglyassociatedwithoutcomesasexperiencedinthe livesofthepeoplewhousethatcare.

3.8 QualityofLife

The Institute ofMedicine (2001) in the US defined quality of life it as ‘subjective or objectivejudgmentconcerningallaspectsofanindividual'sexistence,includinghealth,economic,political,cultural,environmental,aesthetic,andspiritualaspects’.NarrowerdefinitionshavebeenofferedIn particular contexts, such as health care,where the termhealth-related quality of life is nowwidelyemployedtorefertothoseaspectsofqualityoflifethatmightbeinfluencedbypoorhealthorbyhealthcare.Disease-specificquality-of-lifemeasureshavealsobeensuggested,focusingonthoseaspectsofanindividual’slifethatmightbeaffectedbytheillnessordiseaseinquestion.Inthedementiaarea,forexample,itisrecognisedthatqualityoflifeextendsbeyondthecognitiveorothersymptomsof thecondition (Banerjeeetal.2006),but thatmostgenerichealth-relatedquality of life measures fail to pick up those aspects of life affected by the condition or itssuccessful treatment, leading to the development of dementia-specific tools (e.g. Smith et al.2007).

Thesehealth-focusedmeasureswillgenerallynotbesufficienttocapturechangesinqualityoflifethatresultfromlong-termcare,becausesuchcareisconcernedprimarilywithhowanindividualfunctionsandtheirwellbeing, rather thanwiththebiomarkersorsymptomsofadisease.Therehave consequently been a number of suggested ways to conceptualise quality of life that arerelevant to the long-term care context. Sloane et al. (2005) and Rodrigues (2017) describe anumber of such approaches, and discuss some of the most widely used measures. Most suchconceptualisationsidentifythreebroaddomainsasrelevant:physical,psychologicalandalsosocialdimensions.Thereisalsoconceptualandoperationaldiscussionaboutwhoisbestplacedtojudgequalityoflifealongthesedimensions,giventhatsomepeoplewhouselong-termcaremighthavecognitive or other difficulties in reporting accurately their state of psychological or other

Quality of life is closed linked towellbeing (or psychologicalwellbeing). Terminology in the LTCfield israther loose,andthesedifferenttermshaveoftenbeenused interchangeably.Therearehuge swathes of academic theoretical discussion and empirical research dedicated to theconceptualisation,definition,measurementandinterpretationofqualityoflifeandwellbeing,anditisnotpossibleeventosummarisethosedebateshere.Whatisimportantistorecognisethattheconsequences of LTC interventions or policies can impact upon both objective and subjectiveaspectsoflife,andthattherewillusuallybeaneedtodistinguishbetween(andideallymeasureboth) hedonic and eudaimonicwell-being. The former is linked to happiness or life satisfaction(‘pleasure attainment and pain avoidance’ according to Ryan & Deci, 2001), while eudaimonicwellbeing, in theAristotelian approach, emphasises processes of fulfilment and achievement ofpotential:itis‘livingwell’.QualityoflifeasoperationallydefinedinmanyLTCstudiescomesclosertoeudaimonicwellbeing.

The term social investment is more commonly used in Europe.

The philosophyunderpinningsocial investment involvesadvocatingforthreemainsocialpolicyfunctions:(i)thecreationofcapacities,whichinvolvesashiftinpolicyanalysisfromanexclusivefocusonpresentcosts to a focus on current and future impacts; (ii) addressing social risks within life-coursedynamics,whichinvolvesamovefromaclearcutdividebetweenthosethatpayandthosewhoarerecipientsofwelfareprovisiontoamoredynamicandbetteradjustedvisionofcontemporarysocialrealitywhereindividualshavedifferentstatusindifferentphasesoftheirlives;and(iii)thereconciliationofworkand family life,notonly responding to ideologiesofgender thatpressuretowardsgenderequalitybutalsoasapre-requisitetodealwiththeconsequencesofdemographicageingandtheneedtosecureeconomicandfiscalsustainability.

3.11 SocialReturnonInvestment(SROI)

Social returnon investment(SROI)has itsorigins inthethirdsector,originallydevelopedbytheRobertsEnterpriseDevelopmentFoundationin1996asaresponsetotheperceivedshortcomingsof CBA (Roberts Foundation 1996). From its inception, SROI has developedwith influences alsofromsustainabilityreportingandfinancialaccounting.

SROI is essentially a frameworkof sevenprinciples (SocialValue International 2015) thatplacesthe experiencesof stakeholders at the centreof analysis tounderstandwhathas changed as aresult of activities. Subsequently, the monetisation of direct and indirect changes, framed byconcernsofmaterialityandadesirenottoover-claimisdesignedtoincreasetheaccountabilityofdecision-makers.

SROIstudiesseek to takeaccountofvariousaspectsofpersonalandsocialwellbeing– tangibleand intangible – as experienced by a potentially wide variety of stakeholders. It has beensuggested that there are differences between SROI and CBA (Social Value 2014), but these aredifferences in process, implementation and stakeholder involvement, rather than fundamentaldifferencesinunderlyingapproach.

SROIaimstovalueoutcomesfromtheperspectiveofthestakeholder,andthiscouldbedoneforvariousnon-marketedconsequencesbyusingdifferenttechniques,suchasrevealedpreference,stated preference, or (more recently) wellbeing valuation techniques. (This last approach ismirrored in developments in relation to CBA; see above.) SROI also requires verification, auditprocess,usinganappropriaterangeofpossiblemethods.Theaimistoprovideinformationthatis‘good enough’, which means different levels of rigour according to use and audience. Puttingmonetaryvaluesonnon-marketgoodsischallenginginSROI(asitisinanyevaluation),especiallyinthelong-termcarefield,wheresocialvaluationstudiesarestillscarce.Consequently,resultsofdifferent SROIs are not always comparable.

3.13 (Non-market)Valuationmethods

Statedpreference

Statedpreferenceapproachesaskpeopleto‘statetheirpreference’directlyforagoodorserviceusing questionnaire surveys. For example, contingent valuation surveys ask respondents theequivalent value through their willingness to pay for a good or service, or their willingness toacceptasacompensatingvalueforitsloss(FujiwaraandCampbell2011).Asthenamesuggests,contingent valuations are contingent on specific characteristics. For example, this could includethewillingnesstopayforaspecificincreaseinpersonalhealthoranimprovedlocalecosystem,orconverselythewillingnesstoacceptareductioninhealthorthedamagedlocalecosystem.

Revealedpreference

Revealed preference techniques examine theway inwhich people reveal their preferences forgoodsorservicesthroughmarketproductionandconsumption,andthepricesthatarethereforegiventothesegoods(explicitlyorimplicitly).Wheredirectmarketsforgoodsorservicesexist,thevaluethatpeopleplaceon it is revealeddirectlyusingmarketprices,either forthatorasimilargood (substitute prices). Where an impact causes a change in production, then effect onproduction(orchangeinproductivity)canbeused(NaturalCapitalCoalition2016).

Within these techniques, values can also be revealed by analysing data on the time and costincurredtovisit (say) the facility inquestion (thetravelcostmethod).Alternatively, theycanbebasedonanalysinghowthepriceofanassetchangeswithdifferentattributes, suchashousingprices for access to favoured schools, ecosystems view, or the number of bedrooms (calledhedonicpricing).Thisapproachcanalsousewagedifferentialsbetweensimilarjobstovalue(say)environmentalqualitydifferencesbetweenregions.

Lifesatisfaction(Wellbeingvaluation)

Wellbeingvaluationuses statistical analysesof largequestionnairedatasets to value changes inlife circumstances, by calculating the increase in income which would be necessary for anequivalent increase inwellbeing (Trotter et al. 2014). For example, if the increase inwellbeingassociatedwithimprovedmentalhealthisequivalenttotheincreaseinwellbeingassociatedwitha€2,000increasein income,thenitcanbeinferredthatthevalueof improvedmentalhealth is€2,000peryear.Acombinationofthewellbeingvaluationandstatedpreferenceapproachescanbeused(calledhybridstatedpreference/wellbeingvaluation),wherebyrespondentsareaskedtostatetheamountofcompensationtheywouldbewillingtoacceptforaparticularloss,inordertomaintaintheircurrentlevelofwellbeing.
