From Understanding to Action
Background: To remain in their community, a person’s combination of self-care abilities, family support and formal care must match their level of need. When this does not happen, the individual can experience negative outcomes such as unmet needs, caregiver burnout, or increased use of facility-based care. Having an accurate understanding of care needs is critical not only at an individual level, but also at a program or population level for orga…
The Participatory Research to Action (PR2A) Framework
Participatory approaches to health services research represent a paradigm shift that values the knowledge of experts-by-experience, including patients, caregivers, members of the general public, healthcare providers, and decision-makers. While many frameworks have been developed, they are generally tailored to a sector, health condition, research stage, or research design. After an extensive literature scan and our team's deep expertise in commun…
Examining the influence of integrated home and community care on Quadruple Aim and Health Equity outcomes across the health system
Introduction: Many countries with publicly funded health systems, such as Canada, are looking to transform how people receive long-term care and services by shifting more care into the community and strengthening community-based options . Despite the potential of integrated home and community care to address the needs of an aging population in their desired location, the influence of these programs on the broader health system is not well underst…
Facilitating delivery of goal-oriented care through the collection, presentation, and use of meaningful data
Background: Use of routinely collected health and social care data has potential to drive population health improvements. Many organizations are data rich but information poor; collecting large amounts of data but having limited ability to transform data into actionable insights. Learning health systems aim to produce these types of insights not through stand-alone research, but as by-products of care delivery, using the care environment as a liv…
Development, testing and international opportunities for a novel Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM) of integrated home and community care
BACKGROUND: As health systems transition to more integration, it is important to measure whether the aims of integration are being achieved, including health equity and patient experience. One way to do this is by gathering self-reported data through patient-reported experience measures (PREMs). Integrating PREM data into health system improvement initiatives has been shown to improve health outcomes. As health systems around the world seek to ex…
Think aloud and tell us everything that comes to mind”
Background: Ontario’s health system goal is to put clients at the centre with the right care, at the right time, in the right place. To do this there is a need to integrate home care with community-based services. This type of integration should, in theory, better support people to continue living well, with dignity and safety, in their homes and communities for as long as possible. A critical component of improving integrated home and community …
Designing meaningful surveys
Background: People want to live well in their homes and communities for as long as possible. To support this, some home care services in Ontario, Canada are restructuring to integrate medical and personal care, with community-based social care and services (e.g., friendly visiting, meals, and transportation). Measures of client experience, referred to as ‘patient-reported experience measures’ (PREMs) are important for guiding health system improv…
Integrating health and social care in the community to support a new model of Long-term Life Care at home
Background: Long-term care (LTC) reform was an international priority well before the COVID-19 pandemic. While strategies to promote de-institutionalization, rehabilitation, caregiver support and enhanced home and community care have varied by country in terms of implementation and success, the pandemic universally reinforced existing system-specific barriers and weaknesses. In Canada, heightened access issues and silo-ed delivery of community-ba…
Effects of a Physical Activity Program Potentiated with ICTs on the Formation and Dissolution of Friendship Networks of Children in a Middle-Income Country
This paper assesses the potential cohesion effect of a physical activity (PA) school-based intervention potentiated using text messages (SMS) through analyzing longitudinally the friendship network structure and the mechanisms of the formation and dissolution of friendships. Three schools ( n = 125 participants) in Bogotá, Colombia, were randomly assigned into three groups: Modulo Activo Recreo Activo (MARA) + SMS (networks 1 and 2), MARA (networ…
Experiences of Discrimination and Self-reported Health
Asylum seekers and refugees are confronted with multiple challenges before, during and after their flight from their home countries. The aim of this article is to shed more light on the distinct relationship between experiences of discrimination and self-reported health. On the basis of the REHEAL (Refugee Health) data, we are able to distinguish different reasons of discrimination, such as ethnicity, language or religion, as well as when the dis…
