AB  - A globally aging population results in the long-term care of people with chronic 
      illnesses, affecting the living quality of the elderly. Integrating smart 
      technology and long-term care services will enhance and maximize healthcare 
      quality, while planning a smart long-term care information strategy could satisfy 
      the variety of care demands regarding hospitals, home-care institutions, and 
      communities. The evaluation of a smart long-term care information strategy is 
      necessary to develop smart long-term care technology. This study applies a hybrid 
      Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method, which uses the Decision-Making 
      Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) integrated with the Analytic Network 
      Process (ANP) for ranking and priority of a smart long-term care information 
      strategy. In addition, this study considers the various resource constraints 
      (budget, network platform cost, training time, labor cost-saving ratio, and 
      information transmission efficiency) into the Zero-one Goal Programming (ZOGP) 
      model to capture the optimal smart long-term care information strategy 
      portfolios. The results of this study indicate that a hybrid MCDM decision model 
      can provide decision-makers with the optimal service platform selection for a 
      smart long-term care information strategy that can maximize information service 
      benefits and allocate constrained resources most efficiently.
