We need to enhance collaboration across primary care and community care for older adults. Our recent collaboration with Women's College Hospital and OBIO proves the urgency of this. We provided personalized in-home and virtual supports to help them cope at home, to discover if that creates better health outcomes for our participants. Some compelling findings from our work together: -93% of our program participants felt less isolated after returning home -87% reported that the program helped improve their quality of life once at home -60% reported an avoidable visit to the hospital, and 63% reported an avoidable family doctor visit as a result of participating in the program Read more about how we created an innovative, Health Ambassador-driven care model with WCH and OBIO: https://lnkd.in/gGfUDZhW
