Information and communication technology (ICT) can support the delivery of integrated and coordinated care. A case study on TAP-App describes lessons learned when using new technology to support integrated care. Check out the Infographic: https://t.co/ChZoGsTZAf @HealthTapestry

How does implementation of a complex health care intervention differ depending on context and culture? New publication in @HSRatBMC explores the differences, barriers & facilitators to implementing @HealthTapestry in 6 communities. https://t.co/L60CXLBmMd

Lovely to hear from panelists about their experience with Health TAPESTRY. Volunteers are experts in their communities and helped identify and address barriers clients experienced when accessing services in the community.

Great to hear from @pricedDFM at the @redcrosscanada National Health Symposium. Health TAPESTRY volunteers provided key information about clients' health needs and goals which helped inform the care they received from their health care team.

I'm happy to share that this paper I worked on about a @HealthTapestry

We are saddened to hear of the passing of David Braley, whose investment in Health TAPESTRY enabled research into the impacts of this program. Our deepest condolences to the Braley family.

“We usually start our health visits by asking ‘what’s the matter with you?, @HealthTAPESTRY asks ‘what matters to you?’ and those are the gaps we’re trying to fill" @DougOliver19 | @MacHealthSci #BrighterWorld #PCRC https://t.co/WpwX4x50Ex

“We were trying to weave together the various threads of the health care system, the patient’s journey, their care providers, and really trying to weave a tapestry”. Check out the full article in the Hamilton Spectator https://t.co/5dSDOqovZD

Today, we are launching the David Braley Primary Care Research Collaborative.

By bringing people together, we will advance primary care research in Canada.

Read about the Health TAPESTRY protocol as we aim to reproduce the findings from the initial Health TAPESTRY RCT, and determine the feasibility and potential scalability of the program https://t.co/56VXYc6E8J

Women are more likely to be described as 'caring' and 'compassionate' in reference letters, while men are recognized for their accomplishments.

With work and personal interactions almost exclusively online these days, I've often felt "meeting fatigue". But once in a while I get to spend an energizing 90 minutes with an inspiring bunch of people to celebrate some amazing work. TY @HealthTapestry Community of Practice!

[Health TAPESTRY @HealthTapestry]

Special thanks to our dedicated volunteers and community organizations @RedCrossOntario and @InfoWeccc

[Health TAPESTRY @HealthTapestry]

Thank you to everyone who joined our virtual Community of Practice meeting. We were happy to gather to share our achievements over the past 2 years, along with discussing our findings and the future of Health TAPESTRY.

[Health TAPESTRY @HealthTapestry]

We are grateful for our 6 implementation sites that made this program possible!

[Health TAPESTRY @HealthTapestry]

In this newly published qualitative paper, we worked to understand @HealthTAPESTRY volunteers’ experiences in the program and client and provider perspectives on their role: https://t.co/LYAhe7xvGK #volunteers @McMasterFamMed

Fantastic presentation today by ⁦@jessicagaber2⁩ on the volunteer-focused results from interviews and focus groups with ⁦@HealthTapestry⁩ participants. Great turnout for this virtual session with ⁦@RedCrossOntario⁩ and ⁦@InfoWeccc⁩ volunteers.

[Health TAPESTRY @HealthTapestry]

Lovely to catch up with our colleagues @RedCrossOntario and @InfoWeccc. Though we're physically apart, we're working together to provide check-in calls with participants, connections to community programs, and continuing ed for volunteers. #workingfromhome
