Abstract:
Older adults (and caregivers) face important health-related decisions which can have important consequences on their well-being, independence, and outcomes (e.g., where to live, how to stay safe, where to get care). There is a critical need for tools to help them make informed decisions that reflects what is most important to them. We report on a qualitative analysis of survey data collected from home care providers to inform the design and development of digital decision support tools for older adults.
