Home and community care services are poised to deliver tangible benefits for the
healthcare system. With these services, patients are given quality care outside
of the hospital, in turn reducing congestion in hospitals, freeing up much needed
acute care beds, and helping patients remain independent in their home.
To deliver these benefits, home and community care providers will need improved
methods for planning, scheduling, information sharing and communication among the
patient’s care providers along the continuum of care. In addition, the mobile
nature of the community care workforce requires unique communication tools that
enable them to stay in touch with other health providers, their patients and their
patient’s family.
