The objective of this study is to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the Health Teams Advancing Patient Experience: Strengthening Quality (Health TAPESTRY) approach in older adults.
Detailed Info: 

In our program, trained volunteers visit people where they live . In these visits, they learn about what matters most to that person and their health. They also learn more about a person’s health needs. The stories people tell our volunteers are recorded and sent to their health care team using special technology. This helps the team learn more about that person’s life, health needs, goals and how they can better work together to achieve goals and meet needs.
