Connected care at home | How ParaMed is supporting the Guelph Wellington OHT Home Care Program

Our health system works best for patients when they receive connected, coordinated care.

With its first year of operation now complete, the Guelph Wellington Ontario Health Team (OHT) Integrated Patient Care Team (IPCT) Home Care Program is a testament to the real impact innovative partnerships can have on patients, their families and the local health system.

Through this program, ParaMed works with care coordinators and participating primary care providers to document a patient’s care in one shared plan. With improved communication between their providers, patients receive smoother, more coordinated care without having to repeat their story. Patients benefit from greater continuity of care, improved trust, and one fully integrated circle of caregivers.

The impact on the patients we’re serving is clear:

💜 100% say they are treated with respect and courtesy
💜 100% say that the type of delivery of home care they receive meets their needs
💜 93% reported satisfaction with their involvement in their care planning
💜 93% say that their home health care is organized in a way that works for them

ParaMed’s partnership with Guelph Wellington OHT’s IPCT program is one of seven Leading Practice projects supporting Ontario’s work to modernize home care.

Together, we’re making care easier to access, easier to navigate, and more connected for the people we serve.
