The second InfoRehab program of research was developed to address the needs of rehabilitation patients in home care. Our aim was to enhance the role of rehabilitation in home care and to facilitate the recognition of the potential of information systems in other parts of the health system.
Primary aims of project
- Use available health information to answer important questions regarding the role of rehabilitation in home care. This will be achieved through advanced statistical analyses of available health information, using a large existing database of comprehensive health information on over 300,000 home care clients; and
- Engage home care administrators and clinicians in improving the understanding and use of health information for rehabilitation clients
