The three-pillar approach
Three distinct roles.
One shared direction.
The shared aim is more safe, sustainable care: understand workforce capacity, evaluate approaches in regional settings and develop practical applications.
Three complementary roles. Start where your interests connect.
Research & discovery
What capacity exists, and what limits it?
Build knowledge about potentially overlooked care capacity, its limits, and the conditions for safe, voluntary participation.

Demonstration & evaluation
Does it work, for whom, and under what conditions?
Generate evidence from regional studies to decide whether an approach should be improved, continued, expanded or stopped.

Application & commercialization
How can useful approaches become sustainable services?
Develop reliable coordination services, infrastructure and partnerships supported by sustainable business models.

How the pillars connect
Connected by learning.
Distinct in purpose.
The Lab develops understanding. Demonstrations generate evidence. Caredara develops practical applications. Learning flows between all three.
A regional project can include both evaluation and service delivery. Its study questions and evaluation responsibilities should be defined separately from commercial delivery arrangements.
- The Lab studies care workforce capacity.
- Convened by Dr. John-Paul Hatala, researcher and Caredara’s founder, the Lab explores questions beyond any one service model. Findings may challenge Caredara’s approach or support other solutions. Governance and study arrangements remain to be agreed with collaborators.
- Demonstrations generate evidence.
- Proposed regional studies would evaluate a defined approach, with agreed questions, measures, resources and any required ethics review. They may use Caredara’s infrastructure or another approach. Findings can support improvement, expansion or a decision to stop.
- Caredara develops and sustains applications.
- Caredara’s commercial role is to develop coordination infrastructure, support users and partners, and establish sustainable service models. Infrastructure is one possible mechanism for improving access to care. Scaling is a possible next step when evidence, demand and local conditions support it.
