Living kidney donor program patients’ perceptions of genetic testing
Living kidney donation offers better outcomes than deceased donor transplantation; however, biologically-related living donor rates have declined, potentially due to emerging genetic risk data. Genetic testing increasingly informs donor eligibility and safety, yet little is known about donor and recipient experiences. This study explores perceptions and experiences of donors and recipients undergoing genetic testing within a living kidney donatio…
Goal Setting within Care Environments for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Background: Effective person-oriented goal setting in care environments is challenging owing to the complexity of the environment, and the requirement of supportive person-centred care. Health and social care settings, such as the community-care sector, aim to holistically address persons’ care needs, however, much of the guidance in the literature focuses explicitly on health. Effective person-centred care should consider all goals of the person…
The Implementation of Person-Centred Plans in the Community-Care Sector
Background: Person-centred planning (PCP) refers to a model of care in which programs and services are developed in collaboration with persons-supported (i.e., persons receiving care) and tailored to their unique needs and goals. In recent decades, governments around the world have enacted policies requiring community-care agencies to adopt an individualized or person-centred approach to service delivery. Although regional mandates provide a fram…
Supports and barriers to person-centred planning in the community-care sector
Background: The community-care sector provides in-home and community-based health and social service support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, or complex medical needs. Person-centred planning (PCP) has been associated with high-quality service provision and improved quality-of-life outcomes in community-care populations. However, there is limited literature on the facilitators and barriers i…
Person-Centered Plans from the Perspective of Persons-Supported in a Community Care Organization
Background: Person-centred plans (PCPs) are widely used in community care organizations and required for service providers in many jurisdictions, but there are very few guidelines, evidence, or formal evaluations of PCP creation and implementation practices. PHSS is a non-profit community-care organization in a large urban city in Ontario, Canada. Objective: To describe person-centred planning and implementation practices from the perspective of …
“Swamped with information”
Introduction Providing family physicians (FPs) with the information they need is crucial for their participation in a coordinated pandemic or health emergency response, and to allow them to effectively run their practices. Most pandemic planning documents do not address communication plans specific to FPs. This study describes FPs' experiences and challenges with information management during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. Methods We conducted …
Family physicians’ perspectives on collaboration challenges between primary care and specialist care during the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada had longer wait-times for specialist appointments compared to other Commonwealth countries. During the pandemic, many specialist services were postponed or suspended, impacting access. The purpose of this study was to explore family physicians’ perspectives on specialist care availability during the pandemic and implications for family physician workload and patient management. These experiences can inform f…
A cross‐sectional study of community‐level physician retention and hospitalization in rural Ontario, Canada
PURPOSE: Many rural communities experience poor family physician retention. We examined the association between community-level physician retention and hospitalization for all causes and ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSCs) in 2017 among residents of rural communities in Ontario, Canada. METHODS: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study by linking administrative data from the public health insurance program in Ontario. To cre…
Examining Individualized Participatory Approaches to Care for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Background: Patient-centred care plans (PCPs) have been identified as a favourable upstream intervention for community-care populations to improve client outcomes, client and provider experiences, and reduce costly and preventable health service utilization; however, there is limited evidence on implemented approaches. Aim: Our study aims to address this gap by exploring individualized participatory approaches to care planning as a means to impro…
Interviewing persons-supported in an evaluation of individual person-centred care plan development for community-care services
Background: Person-centred care plans (PCPs) have been identified as a promising upstream intervention to address health inequities in the community-care population. Studies in primary care and long-term care have shown that a person-centred approach has the potential to reduce costly and preventable health service utilization, improve health outcomes, and improve person-supported and provider experiences. PHSS Medical and Complex Care in Communi…
Government policies targeting primary care physician practice from 1998-2018 in three Canadian provinces
Primary care is the foundation of health care systems around the world. Physician autonomy means that governments rely on a limited selection of levers to implement reforms in primary care delivery, and these policies may impact the practice choices, intentions, and patterns of primary care physicians. Using a systematic search strategy to capture publicly available policy documents, we conducted a scan of such policies from 1998 to 2018 in three…
“It was horrible for that community, but not for the way we had imagined”
The COVID-19 response required family physicians (FPs) to adapt their practice to minimise transmission risks. Policy guidance to facilitate enacting public health measures has been generic and difficult to apply, particularly for FPs working with communities that experience marginalisation. Our objective was to explore the experiences of FPs serving communities experiencing marginalisation during COVID-19, and the impact the pandemic and pandemi…
Examining the relationship between food security and perceived health among Memorial University students
Objectives: The prevalence of student food insecurity at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) is relatively high (58.0%) compared to the national population (12.7%). We explored the relationship between food security status, perceived health, and student experience among MUN students. Methods: Through an online survey of returning MUN students at the St. John’s campus, we assessed food security using Statistics Canada’s Canadian Household Fo…
Too young for Cannabis? Choice of minimum legal age for legalized non-medical Cannabis in Canada
Our study indicated that there is merit in setting 19 years as MLA for non-medical cannabis
Increasing Research Skills in Rural Health Boards
Rural health boards face barriers to increasing evaluation skills, such as fewer opportunities for continuing education and limited access to training resources. In this project, we set out to develop and evaluate a research skills training program suitable for a rural health board. Participants attended five one-day workshops in their home region and completed a research project with ongoing mentoring from their instructor. Post-workshop surveys…
