In response to needs of older adults at the end-of-life and challenges in the recruitment and retention of healthcare providers (HCPs) in home care in the South West Community Care Access Center, a new and innovative model of home care, eShift, has been developed.

Health Data Dialogues is a knowledge mobilization and outreach initiative designed to support thought leadership among individuals working across the ecosystem of digital health data collection and use.

Patel (2020) argues that “while data can save lives at times of global public health crisis…it can only do this effectively if its use, management and governance, even at times of crisis, is underpinned by clear rules (grounded in law, ethics and human rights) about how best to use data; and trust in institutions to use data well”.
In-home remote monitoring (RM) technologies can link clients, family/friend caregivers, and health care providers with the goal of supporting older adults to age in place. The purpose of this study is to examine the use of remote monitoring (RM) technologies in the home as a means of supporting older adults to safely remain in their home and avoiding or delaying higher levels of care. This study will also evaluate the cost effectiveness of RM as part of a technology enabled model of home care focused on complex care for older adults and family / friend caregivers.
The primary goal of this big idea initiative is to provide accessible care to individuals residing in LTC institutions and/or within the community. To accomplish this, we are proposing several concurrent and parallel project components.
