October, 2022 - The Ontario Community Support Association (OCSA) has published a brief paper Paths Worth Exploring: Four promising practices that integrate Home and Community Care with Primary Care. This paper looks at examples of the integration of Home and Community Care with Primary Care, and highlights a few interesting collaborations. Some of the positive outcomes identified include:
- A 100% reduction in one client’s ED visits and hospitalizations, compared to the 24 months prior, due to Primary Care Integration with Supportive Housing for those with Acquired Brain Injuries
- The delivery of nearly 10,000 in-home visits per year, leading to over 1,100 fewer hospital admissions and hospitals days under the multi-agency Senior Care House Calls program
