CREATED
Evaluation Tools
KL-CARE introduced
and piloted the
"Preparedness for
Caregiving Scale"
to evaluate ICCT
caregiver support;
this measure
has since been
adopted in ICCT
clinical practice.
INCREASED
Team Knowledge
KL-CARE's efforts
enabled the team to
better understand
the activities that
were completed
during a home visit,
while identifying
that an underserved
population of frail,
older adults is
now able to access
geriatric care.
PROMOTED
Evidence-based
Care
The results of
this evaluation
strengthened and
clinically validated
the impact of this
innovative care
approach on ICCT
members, patients,
caregivers, and
community-based
physicians.
KL-CARE'S CURRENT
INVOLVEMENT WITH THE ICCT
Due to the success of this ongoing
initiative, KL-CARE is currently
evaluating an ICCT Telemedicine
project where teleconferencing
is being used to provide clinical
healthcare from a distance.
AFFECTED
Clinical Practice
KL-CARE
collaborated with
the ICCT to develop
and implement the
"Unpacking a Home
Visit" form, which
categorizes the
services carried out
during a home visit.

The expertise and support of the KL-CARE team for the evaluation of this clinical team

of the ICCT to help drive continuous quality improvement and client outcomes.
