Transforming chronic disease management with integrated care pathways
Background: Chronic diseases pose significant burdens on individuals, caregivers, and healthcare systems, often intensified by fragmented care between hospitals and community providers. In Ontario, Canada, COPD, CHF, diabetes (with a focus on lower limb preservation), and stroke have been prioritized due to their impact on quality of life and healthcare resources. To address these challenges, the Ontario government has provided seed funding to 12…
When Integration Falls Short
This initiative addresses the need for a clear, community-centered framework that empowers residents, healthcare professionals, and service providers to efficiently navigate health and social care services, facilitating better health outcomes and equitable access to services. The workshop will reference the Canadian article "Relieving the Burden of Navigating Health and Social Services for Older Adults and Caregivers" (Funk, Laura M. 2019. Montre…
Integrating digital tools and community outreach to address cancer screening disparities in underserved populations in East Toronto, Canada
Background: East Toronto Health Partners (ETHP), an Ontario Health Team serves 400,000 individuals, of whom over 50% are immigrants. Significant disparities exist in cancer screening rates across ETHP's 21 neighborhoods, with rates 15-25% lower in areas with higher concentrations of immigrants and lower socioeconomic status. Barriers for underserved populations include difficulty accessing services, language constraints, lack of knowledge about t…
East Toronto Health Partners, working in unison
Background: East Toronto Health Partners (ETHP) is one of 2 Ontario Health Teams selected to advance integrated care in Ontario. In 2024/25 we will be implementing integrated care pathways for three chronic diseases - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and diabetes (lower limb preservation). Through extensive provider, partner, and community engagement we co-designed a model reflecting our ideal future state. Approac…
Combining digital tools in primary care with community outreach, a co-designed approach for preventative cancer screening in East Toronto
Background: East Toronto Health Partners (ETHP) Ontario Health Team serves 400,000 people, with a population consisting of 50% immigrants. There is significant variation in cancer screening rates across our 2 different neighbourhoods, in which neighbourhoods with higher rates of newcomers and lower-socioeconomic status have 5-25% lower cancer screening rates. Analysis shows the key barriers for our underserved populations include difficulty acces…
East Toronto Health Partners
Developing a shared quality agenda has led to a new focus on population health within our community in East Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Amidst pandemic recovery, community members often struggle to access care. Health care organizations are challenged to support patient flow and mental health needs, and to catch up on preventative care and chronic disease management that was delayed due to reduced in-person care. One might think that these pressure…
Implementation and Evaluation of Innovation in Integrated Care
Health system learning is an iterative process. The six phases of a learning health system (LHS) are problem identification, design, implementation, evaluation, modification, and dissemination. In theory, evaluation is supposed to inform design and implementation and in turn implementation process and modification as the direct result of the evaluation endeavour set the direction for future evaluation. In other words, evaluation and implementatio…
