IFIC Canada Virtual Community Session
Advancing Integrated Care with Digital Health Innovation
When
Presented by
IFIC Canada Co-Leads Jodeme Goldhar and Walter Wodchis hosted a Canada Virtual Community 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, they shared learnings 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 heard from patient partner Hilary Horlock, who will reflect on what this knowledge means from the patient perspective.
Session Topics
- Co-creating a human-centered integrated care pathway for a digital, user-centric health information solution.
- Adopting technology-enabled integrated care education to address the micro-, meso-, and macro-dimensions of integrated care.
- Evaluating the effectiveness of a digitally enabled integrated care program for post-acute care of stroke patients.
- Discussing how this learning can help us keep the patient at the centre when adopting technology into models of integrated care.
