I'd like to mention that there are groups in Canada, particularly the aging, community and health research unit, led by nursing at McMaster University, which are leaders in the world in this area. They're doing a study right now in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and P.E.I., to address exactly this issue. How do you intervene with seniors who have diabetes and multiple chronic conditions, so that they improve their self-management, are able to navigate the system and literally stay out of acute care and emergency? They will be testing an app, but actually, it's more direct intervention with nurse navigators and nursing.
