Health TAPESTRY Ontario

The patient will receive in-home visits from trained volunteers who will collect information electronically using a tablet computer. The volunteers will collect information about the client's health goals, health risks, and needs using a specifically designed application (TAP-App). Once the data is gathered, it is summarized into a report (TAP-report) which is securely and electronically sent to the health care clinic (TAP huddle). The team can leverage clinic supports and/or community supports as they deem appropriate to help clients reach their health goals and address any needs and risks which were reported during the volunteer visits.

Usual care while waiting for the Health TAPESTRY intervention, the control group will receive usual care from their healthcare providers.
