Abstract
Purpose: To explore how the Every Day Throughout Life (EDTL) model supports primary care transformation by enabling residents, families, staff, and volunteers to navigate social
participation, joy, and engagement in nursing homes, thereby enhancing wellbeing and quality of
life.
Context: Norwegian nursing homes are integral to municipal primary care systems, providing
round-the-clock services for people with extensive health and care needs. Services are regulated by
the Health and Care Services Act and the Patient and User Rights Act, which ensure quality,
information, and user participation. Nursing homes deliver personal care, medication

EFPC Conference 2026 – Stuttgart | Driving Primary Care Transformation: People, Technology, and Care Navigation
State of the Art: Across countries, psychosocial programmes aim to strengthen quality of life in
nursing homes. In this study, the “joy-of-life” initiative was implemented through the EDTL model.
Nursing staff and a volunteer coordinator planned and delivered daily wellbeing activities, including
outdoor outings, intergenerational encounters, and personalised one-to-one activities, supported
by structured family involvement. EDTL is a municipality-driven policy framework that embeds
psychosocial wellbeing as a formal quality expectation within primary care through leadership
accountability, defined roles, and systematic documentation.
Statements and Policy Questions for Debate: EDTL demonstrates how people-centred care and
care navigation can be governed as core responsibilities of local primary care, rather than relying
on voluntary engagement, and raises questions about scalability and balancing standardisation
with professional judgement. (Less)
