The North American Centre for Integrated Care (NACIC) and the Health System Performance Network (HSPN) housed at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health are pleased to host an afternoon discussion on the integration of health and social care with special guest and visiting scholar Dr. Luis Gonzalez-de-Paz.

Overview:

The Home Care Program at CAPSBE provides care to patients who cannot attend the Primary Health Care Centre due to health or functional reasons. For 15 years, care has been provided by a team of registered nurses collaborating with a family physician who alternates primary care centres and home visits. In 2022, the program began integrating other healthcare professionals and a permanent family physician. This session will describe the program’s characteristics, study results of the outcomes of continuity of care, and issues related to developing integrated care.
