摘要
Waitlists for long-term care (LTC) continue to grow, and it is anticipated aging populations will generate additional demand. While literature focuses on individual-level factors, little is known about system-level factors contributing to LTC waitlists. We considered these factors through a scoping review. Inclusion/exclusion included publication year (2000-2022), language, paper focus, and document type. A total of 815 abstracts were identified, only 17 studies were included. Through qualitative content analysis, 10 key factors were identified: (1) waitlist management styles, (2) inconsistent standards of admission, (3) personnel shortage, (4) insufficient community-based care, (5) inequitable distribution of services, (6) lack of system integration, (7) unintended consequences of insurance plans, (8) ranking preferences, (9) the debate of supply and demand, and (10) financial incentives. Targeting interventions to address waitlist management, community-based care capacity, and demographic trends could improve access. More research is needed to address system-level barriers to timely LTC access. Les listes d'attente pour les soins de longue duree continuent de s'allonger, et on s'attend a ce que le vieillissement des populations amplifie la demande. Alors que la litterature se concentre sur les facteurs individuels, on sait peu de choses sur les facteurs systemiques qui contribuent aux listes d'attente pour les soins de longue duree. Nous avons mene une etude de portee pour examiner ces facteurs. Les criteres d'inclusion et d'exclusion etaient l'annee de publication (2000-2022), la langue, le theme de l'article et le type de document. Au total, 815 resumes ont ete recenses, mais seules 17 etudes ont ete retenues. L'analyse qualitative du contenu a permis de repertorier 10 facteurs cles : 1) styles de gestion des listes d'attente, 2) manque d'uniformite des criteres d'admission, 3) penurie de personnel, 4) insuffisance des soins communautaires, 5) repartition inequitable des services, 6) manque d'integration des systemes, 7) consequences involontaires des regimes d'assurance, 8) criteres de priorisation, 9) debat sur l'offre et la demande, et 10) incitatifs financiers. Des interventions ciblees visant la gestion des listes d'attente, les capacites de soins communautaires et les tendances demographiques pourraient ameliorer l'acces. D'autres etudes sont necessaires pour remedier aux obstacles systemiques a l'acces aux soins de longue duree dans des delais raisonnables.
