Asset-Based Community Development 101

This event is presented by the Tamarack Institute

As the Tamarack Institute's final workshop of the year, this is your last chance to join Heather Keam and Wendy McCaig for Asset-Based Community Development 101.

# Participants will dive into:  

  • ABCD as a people-centered approach, focusing on strengths and not deficits or needs to develop programs and plans.   
  • Resources in a community, uncovering the six assets or resources that communities have that are used to enhance local well-being.   
  • Methods to find assets, since ABCD approaches are iterative and emergent.
  • The seven functions of a community, which are critical features of local, natural community work. They are bottom-up, hyper-local, and citizen-led. 

This workshop is geared towards those who are new to ABCD or those seeking a refresher, considering the significant evolution ABCD has undergone in the last decade.

2024-25 QIP Analysis Findings: Interprofessional Primary Care

This event is hosted by Ontario Health  

Each year, Ontario Health's Quality Improvement Plan team reads and analyzes the QIP submissions to get a better understanding of the work being done across the province and to highlight quality improvement work. 

We have heard from many organizations that better understanding of what the rest of the province is working on, and how, would be beneficial. 

To promote learning, the QIP team will be hosting sector-specific webinars where attendees will hear about the excellent improvement work from the 2024-25 QIP submissions. This information may also help to guide development of your 2025-26 QIPs.

The Interprofessional Primary Care Analysis Webinar will take place Thursday, December 12, 2024, at 12:00 pm.

Sustainable Implementation of AI Scribes in Ontario

This panel-based learning webinar is presented by the Alliance for Healthier Communities in partnership with OntarioMD.

# Overview

Over the past few years, AI has emerged as a widely accessible tool with the potential to disrupt and realign numerous sectors, including health care. AI Scribes designed for clinical note-taking have the potential to reduce health care providers' administrative workload and allow them to be more attentive to their patients. This, in turn, could improve the patient and provider experience, make health care more accessible, and reduce the risk of errors. However, there is a lot to consider when evaluating AI scribes and deciding whether - and how - to incorporate them into primary health care settings.

Many health care organizations have begun to appraise AI scribes, including Ontario Health, Ontario MD, Ontario Health Teams, and the Alliance for Healthier Communities. In this webinar, we'll hear about what questions they're asking, what they've learned , and how this is informing next steps.
