Attendees: Michael, Lauren, Jeff, Sandy, Nitha, Carol, Josette, Kerri, Jolene, Sarah
Notes:
Site updates
Introductions for Jolene, the new site lead in Sudbury. Other site leads who were present offered to answer questions that Jolene has.
Sudbury has experienced staff turnovers and redeployments and, due to this, is interested in further support.
Niagara has a new OT starting in May. They just had nine referrals over the course of a few days.
Thunder Bay has also had a number of new referrals. They still have limitations in connecting with some remote nursing stations due to continuing Covid restrictions.
North Bay has just received a new referral. Both clinicians are back in the clinic.
Continuation of clinician onboarding and training processes
Michael reviewed proposal for quality improvement (QI) analysis of NAV staff onboarding.
He informed committee that he presented this proposal at Steering Committee (SC) today, and SC accepted it.
Objectives of QI analysis are to help us see what is working well, what could be improved, and understand the needs of recently onboarded staff.
Site leads approved the proposal.
As next step, Michael and team will ask site leads for names of clinicians who started in the past year.
Sarah: Onboarding is a continuous process: important to work with the material, re-direct staff back to resources when they have questions. Important to reinforce their learning.
Carol: Has gone back through ECHOs and found them very helpful. Valuable resource to have.
Michael and Jeff: PSSP will be helping the Research Team by editing the recordings of ECHO didactic sessions and creating brief descriptions. The sessions will also be re-organized based on topics on EPI-SET.com.
Sarah wondered whether it was specific enough to divide just by role.
Topic divisions will be reviewed as the process proceeds.
Michael: Site leads have indicated that shadowing is a key onboarding method. He wondered if it was possible for NAV clinicians to shadow clinicians in their role at another program in the event that there is not a clinician to shadow in their own program.
Some site leads indicated that clinical shadowing/observing does occur across programs. However, the clinician who is shadowing/observing must sign confidentiality agreements and follow any other organizational requirements before doing so.
ACTION ITEMS:
Michael to contact site leads for names of clinicians who have started in the past year.
Jeff and Michael to meet with Research Team to move forward on upgrading the display of the past ECHO presentation.
