Lovely to catch up with our colleagues @RedCrossOntario and WECCC. 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

Fantastic presentation today by ⁦Jessica Gaber⁩ on the volunteer-focused results from interviews and focus groups with ⁦Health TAPESTRY⁩ participants. Great turnout for this virtual session with ⁦@RedCrossOntario⁩ and ⁦WECCC⁩ volunteers.

In this newly published qualitative paper, we worked to understand @HealthTAPESTRY volunteers’ experiences in the program and client and provider perspectives on their role: bit.ly/HTAPvols #volunteers McMaster Family Med

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 Health TAPESTRY Community of Practice!

“We usually start our health visits by asking ‘what’s the matter with you?, Health TAPESTRY asks ‘what matters to you?’ and those are the gaps we’re trying to fill" @DougOliver19 | McMaster Health Sciences #BrighterWorld #PCRC bit.ly/pcrcHTAP

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.

I'm happy to share that this paper I worked on about a Health TAPESTRY project that supported people with diabetes & hypertension (through volunteers and technology in their homes) is now open-access for anyone to be able to read rdcu.be/b9axL #diabetes

Tomorrow afternoon, Lisa Dolovich will presenting at this national event to discuss how Health TAPESTRY can assist with addressing social needs.

Proud to represent ⁦Health TAPESTRY⁩ ⁦McMaster Family Med⁩ on this panel. The suite of presentations was inspiring ⁦INSPIRE-Primary Health Care⁩ and lots that could help as we emerge from COVID thanks ⁦Upstream Lab⁩ ⁦Andrew Pinto⁩

Great to hear from David Price at the Canadian Red Cross 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.

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.

How does implementation of a complex health care intervention differ depending on context and culture? New publication in Health Services Research at BMC explores the differences, barriers & facilitators to implementing Health TAPESTRY in 6 communities. bit.ly/3Ih9dhn

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: bit.ly/3kXYUIo Health TAPESTRY
