| Abstrakt: | With Canada's aging population, innovations in technology and changes in patient preferences regarding where they receive care, there is a growing reliance on homecare services. Professionals in the homecare sector want to provide the best care possible for their clients, whereas homecare organizations look to foster a greater patient safety culture. The Canadian Patient Safety Institute and the Canadian Home Care Association conducted two learning collaboratives aimed at increasing quality improvement capability in homecare settings. Teams from across the country have increased their capacity and capability to engage patients and families, mitigate and prevent harm from homecare safety incidents such as falls and specifically address issues such as improving interprofessional collaboration, teamwork and communication.
