The Windsor Essex Compassionate Care Community approach: What opportunities are there for pharmacy?
Compassionate Communities (CC) initiatives are inherently complex webs of interactions across and between community sectors that can be intentionally mobilized to promote quality care for people who are vulnerable and their families. The Windsor-Essex Compassionate Care Community (WECCC) is built based on a CC philosophy and is a multi-level intervention includes: (1) community advisor/coach (volunteers); (2) audit and feedback; (3) care pathways; and (4) eHealth technology that connects the patient, community agencies and social groups to identify needs and support change among individuals, communities, the health system, and policy. To date pharmacy has not been formally involved in WECCC. WECCC offers an opportunity for engagement that may also translate into opportunities to engage with similar community based approaches.
