Long-Term Care: National Standards

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Impact figures are simulation model outputs from the Ducklings causal engine (BFS cascade, 3-hop depth, strength-weighted edges). They represent projected effects, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Post-pandemic LTC reform: national staffing standards, infrastructure upgrades, and home care expansion. Chain: long_term_care -> healthcare_satisfaction (+0.15, d4). Addresses the scandal of pandemic-era LTC deaths and chronic underfunding.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 27). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.

How to Engage

Discuss this flightplan in the Pond forum under Healthcare. Vote on adoption through Consensus. Adopted flightplans become projects with real-world implementation tracking.
