👥 Who is this for?
Staff supporting clients through the KCA HART Hub
Partner organizations collaborating within the HART Hub care pathway
Care coordinators, outreach workers, and service providers involved in shared care planning
This guide is for organizations working together to support shared clients through the Renfrew County HART Hub.
🎯 Purpose of using Careteam to support the Kenora Chiefs Advisory HART Hub
Careteam provides one shared, secure workspace where organizations involved in the HART Hub can coordinate care around a shared client—without relying on fax, email, or phone tag.
✔️ Enable shared care planning across organizations
✔️ Reduce fragmented communication and duplication
✔️ Improve visibility into client status, goals, and next steps
✔️ Support coordinated, integrated care across the HART Hub
🧭 What Careteam is (and is not)
Careteam is:
A shared, live workspace for cross-organization collaboration
A place to share updates, tasks, resources, and care plans
A way to coordinate care between encounters
Careteam is not:
❌ An EMR
❌ A replacement for clinical documentation
Each organization continues to use their own EMR for clinical notes and encounters. Careteam replaces the work outside the EMR—the coordination, follow-ups, and shared visibility needed for integrated care.
🚀 Quick start guide
1️⃣ Accept the invite
When your organization is invited to a client’s Action Plan, you’ll receive an email notification.
Accept the invitation to begin collaborating.
If you have access, you can also view and accept invites from the Invitations tab in Careteam.
2️⃣ Review the Action Plan
Once inside the Action Plan, review:
Status Updates shared across organizations
The Shared Care Plan (current status, goals, and plan)
Checklists and service access tracking
Tasks, appointments, and resources
Who is on the care team
3️⃣ Add your support
Contribute to shared care by:
Posting updates in Status Updates
Updating the Shared Care Plan as things change
Logging service access when support is provided
Adding and completing tasks or appointments
Uploading relevant resources or documents
🔑 How Action Plans are created and shared
KCA HART Hub staff start all Action Plans for clients admitted to the HART Hub
They invite the initial partner organizations involved in the client’s care
Once invited, organizations can:
Collaborate on the shared Action Plan
Invite additional organizations as needed
This ensures one shared plan follows the client, even as supports change.
🤝 How collaboration works in the HART Hub
Careteam replaces fragmented communication with one live Action Plan.
When:
One organization adds an update → all invited partners see it immediately
Tasks or plans change → everyone stays aligned in real time
This helps prevent:
Missed follow-ups
Coordination Block
A collaborative space to document:
Current status
Discharge goals
Current plan and progress
Service Access Tracking
Used to log when a client receives support. This supports reporting and funding requirements.
Things to Do
Coordinate next-best actions across organizations by adding tasks or appointments and tracking completion.
Resources
Upload and share documents, assessments, or discharge materials across teams.
Team
View which organizations are involved and add contact information for supporters (patients and supporters are not invited at this time).
Messaging
Secure, client-based messaging channels that replace email and texting.
👤 About patient and supporter involvement
At this time:
