Book excerpt: The Health Transition Fund, a joint federal, provincial, & territorial effort to encourage & support evidence-based decision-making in health care reform, funded about 140 pilot projects and evaluation studies over 1997-2001 in nine theme areas. This report summarizes key learnings from 45 projects in the Fund's home care theme area. Introductory sections set the context for the projects (including background on home care, provincial policies, & other issues facing home care in Canada) and provide an overview of the Fund's home care studies. The report then discusses significant & relevant findings of projects that examined the cost-effectiveness of home care, improving access, barriers to appropriate use, substitution of hospital services with home care, reforming existing programs, health human resources, & other issues. Finally, implications of the findings for policy & practice are discussed. The appendix summarizes information on the Fund projects relevant to home care.
