“…The recognition of this potential has led to the development of a variety of care collaboration software tools for mixed home care (16), including research prototypes such as CareBetter (17), Cuidador Acvida (18), and Zirkel (14) as well as commercial applications such as Carezone (19), Jointly (20), and CaringBridge (21). In the United States of America (USA), Carezone claims to have more than 5 million application installations.…”

Objectives Mixed home care, in which informal and professional actors work closely together, contributes significantly to ensuring home care up to old age. In this context, collaboration applications can considerably enhance the interactions among caregivers. However, although much research is conducted on need and requirement analyses of such applications, little is known about their introduction and use in care models. The purpose of this contribution is to identify studies that evaluate collaboration applications for mixed home care and compare their outcomes. Methods To identify literature on mixed home care collaboration applications (mHCA) and their evaluation, a systematic literature review was conducted in five bibliographic databases covering the years 2008 through 2019. The results were supplemented by a search in the meta-database Google Scholar. The evaluation approaches of the studies were analyzed and results compared by using the NASSS framework. Finally, a context concretized model was derived which summarizes interrelations. Results Twelve qualitative studies evaluating eleven applications could be identified. They report on increased competency in self-management, psychological relatedness, involvement, and understanding. However, most studies conclude that large scale platform tests are still needed to prove significant changes in care processes, communication, or organization. Conclusion Among other things, their implementation is rather difficult due to the specifics of the target group. To enable a more targeted and successful implementation, it might be helpful to classify care networks beforehand and assess their communication behavior and needs. To prove the added value of mHCAs standardized assessment tools should be used.

“…Te World Health Organization [6] recommends, among other approaches, the use of information and communication technologies to support family caregivers. Although digital solutions are now increasingly used in formal care settings, they are still less considered in family care, although a high potential for relieving the burden is expected there as well [4,10,11]. Electronic health (eHealth) interventions, especially low-threshold and needs-oriented services, can contribute to supporting family caregivers [12,13].…”

Supporting family caregivers has been identified as a high-priority health goal worldwide. To reach this group, low-threshold, flexible, and accessible support services are needed that are individually adapted to the needs of the affected families. The newly developed digital counseling service “Alles Clara” intends to provide support for this group by connecting them with healthcare experts, allowing for professional and individual counseling at any time and place. To demonstrate the impact of Alles Clara and to be able to further develop and improve the service, it is to be evaluated. To uncover what works, how, under which conditions, and for whom, we drew on the realist evaluation methodology to devise an initial program theory. In this article, we describe the development of and present the initial program theory of Alles Clara. Internal program documents and guided individual interviews with stakeholders and counselors served as data sources to gradually develop a preliminary understanding of Alles Clara’s intended impact and modes of action in an iterative process. The initial program theory outlines central chains of events, mechanisms, and outcomes of the digital service. Family caregivers experience relief through expanding awareness, appreciation, trusting relationships, and reflection. For professionals, a new professional environment, a healthful culture, quality, and meaningfulness affect job satisfaction. Central to unfolding its mechanisms is that the digital counseling service enables an experience of “being seen” while “not being seen.” The results provide information about the impact of Alles Clara on both the target groups, identify possible areas for service improvement, and serve as a basis for evaluation and regular monitoring, especially, when it comes to the question of whether and how digital services can be supportive in the sense of a person-centred orientation of health care.

In homecare, networks are formed by professional, semiprofessional, and informal actors, who collaborate to care for people in need. Modern information and communication technology (ICT) might play an important role to enhance cooperation in homecare networks. Through infrastructuring work, the authors seek to build a comprehensive understanding of the types of collaboration complexity in homecare networks to determine if, when and which technologies are most suitable. This paper examines how homecare networks can be classified according to collaboration complexity. A four-stage research design was followed to develop a taxonomy for homecare collaboration. The taxonomy was applied to 21 care networks, and five types of homecare networks were identified. The taxonomy considers network, tasks, and communication particularities across 13 dimensions, each of which includes three characteristics. Three clusters were identified as more likely than the others to benefit from increased technology use. The taxonomy and archetypes highlight which homecare network types could benefit from increased technology use. Additionally, the taxonomy allows for an iterative re-evaluation of networks to initiate measures for improvement.
