General Updates
Challenges in implementing NAVIGATE during covid have been ironed out. Challenges are more around staff shortages
Engagement is harder virtually
An FAQ sheet regarding NAVIGATE and the study might be helpful, especially for the new staff
Recruitment: we are in the last stretch of recruitment. Hoping to wrap up recruitment by spring 2022
Site Issues related to Omicron
Sudbury facing redeployment of more than 2/3rd of staff. Only one staff member left for the EPI services
Sheeba sent an email stating that Durham has one staff member redeployed.
No redeployment for Niagara. Advocated for another nurse to join EPI due to high demand.
Waterloo not facing redeployment. Kim thinks this is due to them not being part of a hospital. However, they face challenges with discharging clients because other services are facing staff shortages. This means they have had to stretch services for some existing clients. They also continue to have strong intake demand. As a result, they are having to accommodate more clients.
Waterloo’s OT is not on team anymore and this is a challenge. This staff member was a strong voice for SEE role.
FAC Attendance to the Site Meetings
Niagara supported FAC member attending site meeting.
Other sites weren’t present, so will check in with them in individual site meetings with the RAs
REDCap referral form when client says no
Having the RAs fill out the form for the clinicians to capture the ‘no’ referrals during our site meeting check ins with them
Option available for other sites should it be needed
Fidelity Updates
Things are on hold. Prioritizing Sudbury and Durham for T1 Fidelity Assessments when things get started again
