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.

#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.

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.
