The space for innovation in care is wide open and new disruptive patterns are emerging. These include self-management and personal budgets, participatory and integrated care, supported decision making and a renewed focus on prevention. Taking these disruptive patterns to scale can be accelerated by a technologically enabled shift to a network model of care to co-create the best outcomes for individuals, family caregivers, and health and social care organizations
We demonstrate how Tyze contributes to a shift to a network model of care by strengthening our networks and enhancing partnerships between care providers, individuals, and family and friends
Summary
Human resource challenges, geographically dispersed family and friends, and women in the workforce all contribute to the considerable pressure on formal care systems. The systems of support available to people facing life challenges generally span two poles: professional care providers in health and social care settings or groups of family, friends, and neighbours The latter are comprised of freely given relationships that are first and foremost based on care versus employment and accountability. Tyze was created based on 20 years of experience using community connectors to facilitate personal networks for those who have been marginalized or isolated at Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network (PLAN; plan institute.ca) This experience clearly demonstrated the power and potential of personal networks to change lives and improve health and social outcomes (Etmanski, 2009; tinyurl.com/83co8qg and 2000; tinyurl.com/ 7vvd96w). The interconnections, shared experiences, and motivations amongst network members are situated at the core of a network model of care
