QIIP will help FHTs by preparing or disseminating tools and resources to assist them in their work and by facilitating an exchange of information and resources between FHTs. There are three ways we will do this, in addition to posting the videos of the presentations at LS1 of the QIIP collaborative.
A central tenet of QIIP has been the concept of FHTs learning from and supporting each other (FHTs helping FHTs). Your FHT may have produced materials that may be helpful to another FHT - such as a form, a patient handout, or a list of useful resources. Or you have a description of an innovative program you developed that may save colleagues in another FHT time and energy as they develop a similar initiative. If so, please forward it to Pierrette and we will be happy to post it on our innovation exchange page.
Resources of interest to FHTs have been grouped under the following headings:
Improvement Methods and Tools
Team Development and Organizational Functioning
Chronic Disease Prevention and Management
Self-Management Support and Education
Health Promotion and Illness Prevention
Improving Access and Office Efficiences
Information Technology and Management / Using your EMR
Evaluation, Measurement and Needs Assessment
Many additional resources for health professionals and patients can be found on the Ontario MD site. This site requires registration, but FHT physicians can register all staff working in their FHT.
We are producing a series of toolkits that will be available over the next three months and which will be posted here as soon as they are available. These will cover: - Working with community partners
- Conducting a needs assessment
- HR and governance
- Team development
- Measurement and evaluation
