Dear Friend,

We thank you for your interest in our work but the CARENET website has ceased to exist. What started as a small multi-disciplinary collaboration between doctors, nurses, researchers and other clinicians evolved into a CIHR-funded new emerging team grant from 2005-2009 and ultimately morphed into a Network Center of Excellence (initially called “Technology Evaluation in the Elderly Network (or TECH VALUE NET), now call Canadian Frailty Network).  

Led by Dr. Daren Heyland, CARENET initially had a focus on developing and evaluating strategies to improve communication and decision-making in the context of serious illness. For a sample of some of the publications emerging from CARENET, please click here. 

The results of this multidisciplinary collaborate research informed the development of 2 novel, public-facing, online decision support tools: www.planwellguide.com and www.myicuguide.com.
