Abstract

We are reporting an observational study conducted as part of a larger French research project called PiCADOi. 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 consider the flexibility and the dynamicity of team-based care to support quality home care.
