1st International conference on BRIDGING KNOWLEDGE IN LONG TERM CARE AND SUPPORT - Event details   03/05/2009 - 03/07/2009 LA PEDRERA OF CAIXA CATALUNYA, Barcelona, SPAIN   Description During the next years over 15 million persons with disabilities will enter old age; and a similar number of elderly people will become disabled. Links do exists between both groups and experiences may be shared in a broad range of topics, from concepts and values to the assessment and meeting of needs, or the development of tools for evidence-base policy in both areas. Bridges have always existed across the fields of disabilities and ageing, but they have been limited, and they coexist with significant barriers to communication and information sharing. Although health and social care providers have been encouraged to work in partnership and build interdisciplinary teams, the success of this approach has been limited. New notions such as “networks” and “knowledge brokering” have entered this discourse but the lack of consensus and understanding about what they mean and how to implement it limits its use in the care sector. The health sector has already developed strategies for knowledge brokering, translational exchange of experiences and integrated care, while the social sector has developed the conceptual background in the areas of functioning, social inclusion and cohesion.
