‘Building as We Learn’: Challenges, Lessons Learned & Best Practices in Developing a Patient, Family & Public Advisory Council

Presenters: Amy Lang and Aman Sium
Follow on Twitter: @HQOntario
Room 0W225
Presentation (PDF)

Health Quality Ontario launched its Patient, Family and Public Advisors Program in the summer of 2015. Over the course of the year, there have been many important reflections, key learnings and thoughtful observations gathered by patient and family advisors, staff, leaders and others who benefit from the program as it has (and continues to) evolve.

Through the use of video, photography, presentations, and interactive exercises, workshop attendees will have an opportunity to explore lessons learned and best practices in creating advisory programs. Attendees will also have the opportunity to work together to explore common challenges and solutions in patient and family engagement, and how they can be applied to their work.

Rules of Engagement: Lessons from made-in-Ontario ground-breaking projects

Presenters: Christa Haanstra, Barry Vail and Gen Obarski
Follow on Twitter: @TheChangeFdn
Room 5E105
Presentation (PDF)

Meaningful patient and caregiver engagement takes commitment, flexibility, leadership and a true openness to listening and learning from patients and caregivers, and allowing their input to inform your way forward. Based on The Change Foundation’s two signature patient engagement initiatives – PATH and PANORAMA – both central to our 2010- 2015 Strategic Plan, we developed a practical Rules of Engagement report to support health care organizations in their patient engagement journey. Using the PATH project as an example, we will take an interactive approach to presenting and discussing the Rules of Engagement, provide patient/caregiver and organizational insights, and offer the audience the opportunity to deepen their understanding of engagement and explore approaches that will work in their own organization.

Accreditation Canada has enhanced client- and family-centred care (CFCC) content in the Qmentum program.

The standards support client engagement and opportunities for incorporating the client voice into all aspects of service planning, delivery and evaluation. This presentation will review the new CFCC content in the Qmentum program, provide examples of criteria in the standards and discussion on how to address criteria requirements. By the end of the session, participants will gain an understanding of the scope of CFCC content in the Accreditation Canada standards and be able to identify strategies to implement the standards to support their organization’s journey of CFCC.
