🇨🇦 Canada Social Care & Community Services Knowledge Hub

Canada's social care and community services continue to evolve as provinces and territories respond to an ageing population, increasing complexity of need, workforce pressures, digital transformation and growing expectations around integrated care. The first collection within this Knowledge Hub explores Canada Long-Term Care & Home Support, with additional specialist collections being introduced as the library expands. While each province operates within its own legislative and funding framework, many of the challenges mirror those seen internationally: improving quality, supporting workforce sustainability, reducing avoidable hospital admissions, strengthening community-based services and using data more effectively to improve outcomes.

This Knowledge Hub has been created to explore Canadian approaches to community services, long-term care, disability supports, mental health, digital innovation, quality improvement and system transformation. It forms part of the wider International Knowledge Hub within Impact Insights Hub, providing practical insight for providers, health authorities, policymakers, researchers and system leaders interested in strengthening community-based care across Canada.

As this section develops, articles will examine provincial service models, integrated health and community care, workforce innovation, digital transformation, quality assurance, commissioning approaches, outcomes measurement, governance and emerging models of care. The aim is to build a practical, evidence-informed resource that supports continuous improvement while recognising the diversity of Canada's health and social care systems.

Although this Knowledge Hub is currently in its early stages, it has been designed to expand progressively into one of the largest dedicated Canadian community services knowledge libraries available, with new content added across multiple specialist subject areas over time.
