Upcoming Webinar:
Local Innovation in Population Health: Lessons from the LDPHM Initiative
Join us this month for a dynamic webinar exploring the Locally Driven Population Health Models (LDPHM, formerly known as the High Priority Community Strategy) initiative in Ontario. This session will provide an overview of the LDPHM approach, share key areas of work and early findings across Ontario, and highlight local innovations in population health planning and delivery. We will also be joined by representatives from the Health Common Solutions Lab, who are also participating alongside the communities. Hear directly from three community-based agencies involved in the initiative as they share their experiences, challenges, and practical lessons learned that can inform population health efforts across Ontario’s diverse regions. Whether you’re part of an OHT, CHC, public health unit, or another organization focused on health equity and systems transformation, this webinar will offer valuable insights for applying locally driven approaches in your context.

How are OHTS Advancing in Digital Health
How are OHTs fairing with digital implementation? Join us for our upcoming November webinar session, where we will learn about the implementation successes and pivots of Ontario Health Teams in implementing digital solutions. Dr. Andrew Sarta will reflect on the implementation of digital practices based on an HSPN survey of proposed digital activities from approved OHT applications across the first 3 cohorts of OHTs. In this session we will review activities under 4 broad sets of digital practices that we identify as Patient Data Access, Partner Data Sharing, Virtual Care, Data Strategy Planning. And we will explore the survey results of OHTs completed in Feb 2023 to find out what was implemented, changed, and not implemented based on their initial applications. Then we’ll hear from Cambridge North Dumfries and Algoma OHTs on their approaches to advancing digital health innovations, the successes, challenges and strategic thinking for integrating digital health in OHTs. Come join the conversation to learn and to share your OHTs experience.
IFIC Canada Virtual Community Care
What is the relationship between integrated care and patient/caregiver engagement? How can engagement with our communities and people with lived healthcare experiences inform and improve integrated systems of care? Join us for a thought-provoking panel to learn about current practices and future directions. Learn from researchers, system leaders and patient perspectives with International and Canadian experience.
We look forward to continuing to bring our community together to learn and have an impact.
Advancing Integrated Care with Digital Health Innovation
IFIC Canada Co-Leads Jodeme Goldhar and Walter Wodchis invite you to join our next IFIC Canada Virtual Community Session on March 28, 2023 from 12:00 PM-1:30 PM EST. This session is a collaboration between the International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC), IFIC Canada and the Health System Performance Network at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, and the Digital Health and Data Enabling Integrated Care IFIC Special Interest Group co-led by Dr. Carolyn Steele Gray.
In this session, we will be sharing learning from the recent special issue of the Journal of Integrated Care (Emerald), which helps to advance our understanding of the role of digital health in integrated models of care. Participants in this session will learn about and discuss key papers around co-creating, evaluating, and implementing technology through a novel training and education strategy. Participants will also have the opportunity to hear from patient partner Hilary Horlock, who will reflect on what this knowledge means from the patient perspective.
Session Learning Objectives:
1) Co-creating a human-centered integrated care pathway for a digital, user-centric health information solution.
2) Adopting technology-enabled integrated care education to address the micro-, meso-, and macro-dimensions of integrated care.
3) Evaluating the effectiveness of a digitally enabled integrated care program for post-acute care of stroke patients.
4) Discussing how this learning can help us keep the patient at the centre when adopting technology into models of integrated care.
