This video depicts a functional signature of a hypothetical patient journey through the community based health and social care system in an Atlantic Canadian city using DynaFRAM modelling. The data used to develop the hypothetical journey is a composite of data gathered from 17 health and social care professionals working in the community setting providing care and service to older people. This hypothetical patient journey scenario depicts Fred, a 76-year-old male who is referred by his family doctor for a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Modelling Fred's patient journey through the system using a functional signature provides a bird’s eye view of variability and its impact on the functionality of community based health and social care. We are able to visualize the work across several clinical encounters over time instead of only examining encounters in isolation. The journey demonstrates the significant waiting times that can occur between subsystems as well as the duplication of services that occurs. Health and social care professionals spend time and energy gathering the same information from multiple electronic health platforms, taking similar health histories, and conducting similar assessments. In examining how the system works over time we are also able to appreciate what works well. We see how teams sharing information can result in the right providers caring for Fred to conduct a home visit and team based care planning.
