Abstract
We are reporting an observational study conducted as part of a French research project focusing on "domomedecine". The study explores collaborative activities in work practices of inter-professional teams aiming to deliver quality home care. The findings show the use of a variety of dynamic coordination mechanisms depending on patients’ conditions. We suggest that future system design process considers the flexibility and the dynamicity of team-based care to support quality home care.
The PICADO project: research and development in the Fonds Unique Interministériel (FUI). It is also co-funded by the Champagne-Ardenne region, the Ile-de-France and the Municipality of Paris.
