1.4: Navigating Care Together: Designing Access That Works

In this episode, Doug Rawson, Kristen Corbiere, and frontline Personal Support Worker Candice explore how client-centered service design can create a more seamless experience for individuals navigating health and community care. Together, they discuss common barriers such as fragmented communication, accessibility challenges, and unclear referral pathways, while highlighting opportunities to strengthen collaboration across service providers and improve outcomes for clients.
The conversation also introduces a practical innovation from Helping Hands, Orillia: the Client Handbook. Developed through the insights of both staff and clients, this resource is designed to clarify expectations, support informed decision-making, streamline intake processes, and equip staff with the tools they need to deliver consistent, high-quality care with confidence.
