title: Supersmart homes: a new meaning for home care.
abstract: In 1908, when four nurses first began to deliver inhome nursing services in Toronto, Ontario, no one realized the organization would experience so much change and opportunity to enhance the care provided to clients and their families. Now, almost a century later, information and communications technologies are enabling an entirely different way of providing health services and supports, including information that promotes self management and more control for clients over their own health and health care.
