Teamwork in home care nursing is a limited research field, constituted of studies within a broad scope. The methods used are predominantly qualitative with a single-data collection method.
This paper examines intersections between Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) and Home and Community Care to manage changes in volume and equity considerations. It seeks to understand learning opportunities from organizations similar to OHTs that have contracted with home and community care providers.
Many hospitalized older adults cannot be discharged because they lack the health and social support to meet their post-acute care needs. Transitional care programs (TCPs) are designed to provide short-term and low-intensity restorative care to these older adults experiencing or at risk for delayed discharge.
The evidence included in this review supports the use of home-based end-of-life care programmes for increasing the number of people who will die at home. Research that assesses the impact of home‐based end-of-life care on caregivers and admissions to hospital would be a useful addition to the evidence base, and might inform the delivery of these services.
As the population ages, governments and policymakers need to know the current drivers of service use, which will allow them to predict how to best allocate resources and manage the expected increase in demand on the home care system.
A rapid scoping review was performed of recent academic and grey literature, including social media data, to characterize the wide landscape of peer support initiatives in Canada and abroad, and to identify features and approaches that may be effective in meeting caregiver needs.
This study synthesised the available evidence examining non-pharmacological interventions to prevent hospital or nursing home admissions for community-dwelling older people with dementia.
The present scoping review used a version of the frequently applied Behavioural Model of Health Care (BM) that was adapted for long-term care. Unfortunately, we found no publications for the application of the adapted BM in studies of caregiving in dementia. The model helped us to describe the identified psychosocial influences on the access to and utilisation of formal community care in dementia in more detail than the original BM.
To assess whether fall‐prevention strategies which target two or more risk factors for falls (multifactorial interventions) or fixed combinations of interventions (multiple component interventions) are effective in preventing falls in older people living in the community.
The purpose of this scoping literature review was to reveal what is known about implementation and maintenance of patient navigation programs in primary care settings and their associated outcomes.
Does physical exercise training (progressive resistance training or multimodal exercise) produce any benefit or harm for older people with limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs)?
