Community Event

#Join the Society of Refugee Healthcare Providers and Adrien Matadi for a Q&A session about healthcare navigation for newcomers!

*Spaces are limited.

Ontario Health is hosting a webinar for hospital leaders and administrators, emergency department clinicians, quality improvement and equity specialists, and clinical educators to promote the implementation of the Sickle Cell Disease quality standard. The session will focus on understanding how to leverage the provincial Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) to drive improvements and reduce disparities in services for people with sickle cell disease. An implementation toolkit for the Sickle Cell Disease quality standard will also be shared during the webinar.

#Description

Understanding patient populations and their frailty risk can support an appropriate and person-centered care approach. Community programs and services can play a critical role in interrupting the progression of frailty, setting up older patients  to age well in their home, and preventing institutionalization. Are your services set up to identify frailty and adequately address the needs of this patient population?

The principles of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) play a key role in HDRN Canada's strategic plan, which is a roadmap to transformative health data use and a future that better supports health equity. This presentation will examine how to include measures of disability in administrative health data research. It will also discuss accessibility considerations, from study planning to knowledge dissemination, including how to make our research teams more inclusive of people with disabilities.

At this webinar, Dr. David Kaplan and the provincial QIP team at OH/HQO will provide an overview of the 2024/25 QIP program. They will share this year's priorities and supporting documents, including the 2024/25 QIP guidance document, indicator technical specifications, and a snapshot of quality priorities in brief for 2024/25.

The session will be recorded and sent out to all registrants.

This talk addresses the long-term impact of trauma on our way of being in the world and defines resilience as the human capacity to grow through adversity. This approach defies the separation between individuals and the social world, showing how we can all contribute to each other’s resilience and well-being. You will learn strategies for cultivating resilience in three areas: stress management and self-care, the quality of connection with others, and the support from one’s environment.

#About this webinar

The World Health Organization defines social prescribing as connecting people to a range of non-clinical services in the community to improve their health and well-being. It builds on the evidence that addressing social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, social inclusion, housing, and education, is key to improving health outcomes. But how can we use this healthcare approach in a public health setting?

This webinar will focus on detecting, reducing, and removing fall risk hazards in the built environment. Evidence-based advocacy, educational, and behavioural approaches to reduce environmental hazards will be discussed. Find out more and register.
