Living kidney donor program patients’ perceptions of genetic testing
Living kidney donation offers better outcomes than deceased donor transplantation; however, biologically-related living donor rates have declined, potentially due to emerging genetic risk data. Genetic testing increasingly informs donor eligibility and safety, yet little is known about donor and recipient experiences. This study explores perceptions and experiences of donors and recipients undergoing genetic testing within a living kidney donatio…
The Implementation of Person-Centred Plans in the Community-Care Sector
Background: Person-centred planning (PCP) refers to a model of care in which programs and services are developed in collaboration with persons-supported (i.e., persons receiving care) and tailored to their unique needs and goals. In recent decades, governments around the world have enacted policies requiring community-care agencies to adopt an individualized or person-centred approach to service delivery. Although regional mandates provide a fram…
Supports and barriers to person-centred planning in the community-care sector
Background: The community-care sector provides in-home and community-based health and social service support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, or complex medical needs. Person-centred planning (PCP) has been associated with high-quality service provision and improved quality-of-life outcomes in community-care populations. However, there is limited literature on the facilitators and barriers i…
Person-Centered Plans from the Perspective of Persons-Supported in a Community Care Organization
Background: Person-centred plans (PCPs) are widely used in community care organizations and required for service providers in many jurisdictions, but there are very few guidelines, evidence, or formal evaluations of PCP creation and implementation practices. PHSS is a non-profit community-care organization in a large urban city in Ontario, Canada. Objective: To describe person-centred planning and implementation practices from the perspective of …
Evaluating the Impact of an Integrated Community Care Model for Older Adults
This was a complex initiative with multiple organizations coming together in a voluntary governance structure to implement disparate projects. Learnings may be useful to others seeking to implement and assess integrated community care programs for older adults
“Swamped with information”
Introduction Providing family physicians (FPs) with the information they need is crucial for their participation in a coordinated pandemic or health emergency response, and to allow them to effectively run their practices. Most pandemic planning documents do not address communication plans specific to FPs. This study describes FPs' experiences and challenges with information management during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. Methods We conducted …
Family physicians’ perspectives on collaboration challenges between primary care and specialist care during the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada had longer wait-times for specialist appointments compared to other Commonwealth countries. During the pandemic, many specialist services were postponed or suspended, impacting access. The purpose of this study was to explore family physicians’ perspectives on specialist care availability during the pandemic and implications for family physician workload and patient management. These experiences can inform f…
Interviewing persons-supported in an evaluation of individual person-centred care plan development for community-care services
Background: Person-centred care plans (PCPs) have been identified as a promising upstream intervention to address health inequities in the community-care population. Studies in primary care and long-term care have shown that a person-centred approach has the potential to reduce costly and preventable health service utilization, improve health outcomes, and improve person-supported and provider experiences. PHSS Medical and Complex Care in Communi…
“It was horrible for that community, but not for the way we had imagined”
The COVID-19 response required family physicians (FPs) to adapt their practice to minimise transmission risks. Policy guidance to facilitate enacting public health measures has been generic and difficult to apply, particularly for FPs working with communities that experience marginalisation. Our objective was to explore the experiences of FPs serving communities experiencing marginalisation during COVID-19, and the impact the pandemic and pandemi…
