Accelerating Knowledge to Action on Client-Driven Care

A South West CCAC/UWO Social Interaction Implementation Project

Accelerating Knowledge to Action (KTA) on Client-Driven Care was a collaborative 2-year project (April 2006-July 2008) to mobilize and test shared effort to use research findings on how to partner with clients and all involved in in-home care in South Western Ontario.

This project worked to refine care partnering relationships by using tested practice approaches that research has found to improve the health and independence of in-home clients and the contribution of knowledge, skills and involvement of everyone on the care team, including clients.

PARTICIPANT: “…I think what we really have to focus on is everybody
coming as an equal partner with their concerns, with their strengths,
with their weaknesses,… and communicate that to each other
to see how we can go forward.”
