Literature review: Definitions, models and dimensions of good practices

DESCRIPTION

This literature review is the first Working Paper of the project “Mapping promising social services and policy measures to support the independent living of older people”. The scope of this literature review is to investigate the existing models and tools to define, evaluate and transfer a good practice. The literature review considers the following aspects and provides an analysis with regard to:

• Terms and definitions of a successful transfer of policies and practices, with a clear distinction between emerging practice, promising practice, good practice and best practice.
• Existing models, tools and steps of a good practices transfer.
• Approaches and methods of evaluation of good practices with a focus on impact evaluation.
