Co-designing MedManageSCI
Background: Medications are one of the most common health-related interventions, with certain populations, such as individuals with spinal cord injury/dysfunction (SCI/D), commonly prescribed multiple medications. Consequently, adults with SCI/D often interact with multiple healthcare providers and engage in activities related to medication self-management. There are limited resources for this population that comprehensively address medication se…
The Development of an Integrated Model of Dementia Care in the Community for Low-Income Seniors
More than 8% of Canadians over the age of 65 are estimated to live with a form of dementia. However, the real number is likely higher for older adults living in social housing as they are disproportionately impacted by poverty, social isolation and poor health, which increases their risk of developing dementia. Community service providers care for persons living with dementia across ambulatory care clinics, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, n…
Bridging Hospital and Community
Canada’s population is rapidly ageing. Its life expectancy, now among the highest in the world, exceeds 82 years. This rapidly ageing population contributes to the unprecedented strain on the health care system. Toronto's seniors have additional challenges with equitable access to preventive health promotion services. SPRINT Senior Care, a small Community Support Service agency and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center, a large academic hospital, hav…
Exploring the routine use of patient-reported experience measures for medications in primary healthcare in Ontario, Canada
Background: Approximately 50% of the population in North America have taken a prescription medication in the past 30 days. Despite the high use of prescription medications, formal measures to capture medication-related experiences (i.e., patient-reported experience measures; PREMs) are not routinely used in clinical practice. Measuring and optimizing patient experiences are of critical importance to ensuring value-based care. The aim of this stud…
‘ You’re alive, but are you living? ’ Exploring long Covid (LC)’s impact on social and leisure well-being for individuals and caregivers
Long COVID (LC) affects physical health and cognition, limiting participation in social and leisure activities. As a novel disabling condition following a COVID-19 infection, informal caregivers of those with LC have taken on expanded roles, including educating themselves on this diagnosis. Gathering insights from people living with LC (PWLC) and their caregivers is crucial for understanding its impact on well-being and identifying targeted rehab…
A Qualitative Study on the Perspectives of Providers on a Novel Mental Health Patient Navigation Program for Older Adults with Mental Health Needs
Navigating the health system can be especially challenging for older adults with mental health (MH) issues. To address the MH needs of older adults, an acute care hospital partnered with a community agency to co-create a novel MH Patient Navigation Program to support older adults with MH needs
A Depiction of the Scope of Practice of a Mental Health Navigator for Older Adults and Patient Outcomes
Navigating the health system can be especially challenging for older adults with mental health (MH) issues. To address the MH needs of older adults, an acute care hospital partnered with a community agency to co-create a novel MH Patient Navigation Program to support older adults with MH needs
Identifying what matters to Canadian adults with mobility limitations regarding experiences with medications
Background: Persons with mobility limitations generally take multiple medications to manage their condition and other health complications. There are limited assessment tools measuring the experiences with medications and their impacts on everyday life. Understanding what matters to persons about experiences with medications will inform person-centred clinical care, integrated care, ongoing monitoring, and overall quality of care. Objective: The …
Navigating Across Hospital and Community Settings to Create a Patient Navigation Program for Older Adults
Background: A co-created Patient Navigation Program (PNP) between a major acute care hospital and community agency was implemented to promote better integrated care for older adult patients transitioning from the hospital back to the community. Audience: This workshop is for decision-makers, frontline clinical staff, older adults and family members, and researchers interested in patient navigation and older adult health. Approach: The goal of thi…
DevelOPment of a ToolkIt to iMprove medicAtion self-management for persons with spinaL cord injury (Optimal-SCI)
Background: Adults with spinal cord injury/dysfunction (SCI/D) are commonly prescribed multiple medications to manage secondary conditions. Significant challenges with managing medications have been highlighted. Adults with SCI/D may interact with multiple healthcare providers and receive fragmented care specific to their medications. Prior research has also emphasized the need for more support with medication self-management among the SCI/D popu…

Creating a patient reported outcome measure for medication-related quality of life
Introduction: Persons with mobility limitations generally take multiple medications to manage their conditions; however, healthcare providers across different settings do not currently have a way to measure the impact that medication taking has on patients’ quality of life (QoL). Current tools are limited, narrowly focused on few QoL domains and none focus on persons with mobility limitations. Target Audience: The target audience for our study fi…
Describing the scope of practice of patient navigators for older adult patients with complex care needs
Introduction: Transitions in care (e.g., discharge to home) are stressful for patients, especially for older adults living with complex conditions. To bridge the care gap and improve the continuity of care across care transitions, a new model of care was introduced at a large metropolitan hospital in partnership with a community agency that uses patient navigators which are embedded in the hospital’s care teams, including emergency, acute, and re…
Patients, Caregivers, and Healthcare Providers’ Experiences with Covid Care and Recovery across the Care Continuum
Inpatient rehabilitation was viewed as higher quality due to the slower paced care. Care transitions were distressing for stakeholders and enhanced integration between acute and rehabilitation care were suggested to improve patient handover. A lack of rehabilitation access led to recovery stagnating for patients discharged to the community. Telerehab may improve the transition to home and ensure access to adequate rehabilitation and support in th…
Infection prevention and control across the continuum of Covid‐19 care
INTRODUCTION: Healthcare facilities adopted restrictive visitor policies as a result of the COVID-19 (COVID) pandemic. Though these measures were necessary to promote the safety of patients, families and healthcare providers, it led to isolation and loneliness amongst acute care inpatients that can undermine patient rehabilitation and recovery. The study objectives were to (1) explore how infection prevention and control (IP&C) measures impacted …
