Implementation Update – PSSP/George/ Site Leads
o Kim Hewitt, Waterloo – Other conversations trumping navigate conversation but team is still integrating navigate pieces to standard of care
- 3 new staff, will be hiring more
- Approximately 8-10 referrals/week, with more patients that meet the criteria
- Peers are currently working with Al
- New resident starting January 2021 (Kate Gregory) and will be working with Douglas – George offered to meet with resident
- Caseloads have decreased
o Carol, Thunder Bay– Clinicians finding no barriers/challenges, they like the structure of navigate and are looking at how they can incorporate navigate content to fit client’s needs
- Receiving a lot of referrals and upping intake volume each week
- Sorting out agreement to initiate process of working with Dr. Kennedy
o Josette, North Bay – No waitlists, caseloads have gone down; some discharges and relocates, 2 success clients
- Good collaboration with acute psychiatry
- Patients may be less motivated to follow up with Navigate modules
- Suggestion from George - need to find other ways to make content more engaging for patients
- There hasn’t been an impact on the delivery navigate but working towards involving managers in meetings
o Sheila, Durham/Lakeridge – 6-8 waitlists, most clinicians have 30 cases, family group going well
- Durham has drifted – navigate has not been fully embraced by the team (some implementing navigate in its entirety but others are using bits of navigate)
- Patients have told staff to stop repetitively asking them to participate in research; All staff have adopted a new approach to address this issue: Clinicians ask patients about research participation after 3/4 sessions with patients (once rapport is built)
- An increase in cannabis use among clients in EPI and other outpatient units
o Anne-Marie, Sudbury – Team is responding well to the standardization of Navigate
- There has been an increase in referrals, but not all meet the criteria for this service
- Prescriber role challenge – there is a consulting psychiatrist with Sudbury’s EPI program but care is not being automatically transferred
- Lack of consistency from psychiatrists, which is a current struggle in Sudbury
- George suggests Sudbury team connect with psychiatrist for feedback to find a balance between psychiatric care and rest of the team. This could entice the psychiatrist to see the value in the standardization of Navigate and provide care for this population – Anne Marie believes this suggestion will be worthwhile
- Sudbury has past the halfway mark with navigate clients
o Kerri, Niagara– Navigate is standard treatment now; site is doing well with navigate
- Only challenge is trying to remember to refer patients to research
- Very busy - long waitlists and a lot of referrals
