Annual Meeting Updates

  • The RA team is in the process of booking flights for the attendees who require them

  • Hotels have been confirmed

    • Drake Hotel – 30 rooms

    • Hotel X – 14 rooms (Niagara and CoE will stay here)

  • We will be catering breakfast from Out of this World Café and lunch from Cumbrae’s

  • The auditorium is booked and will be theatre-style rather than roundtable

Booster Training Updates

  • Managers will join site leads for their session

  • We have 10 virtual attendees across every single role

    • Should we have a separate session for virtual attendees or place virtual attendees with their role like last year?

      • Kerri supports a session for virtual attendees – they can focus on team dynamics

      • Jolene is more in favour of having virtual attendees participate in role-specific sessions

      • Sites will ask staff joining virtually about their thoughts and share back with the RAs at the meeting in a few weeks

  • Should we group nurses together rather than separating into IRT/prescriber room?

    • Kim would like this; if not, her nurses will go in the prescriber room because they mostly do metabolic/physical health monitoring

    • Josette would like a nurse room for Julie; if not, she would do IRT or FE

    • Kerri is flexible

    • RAs to discuss with Monica/Sanjeev about how NAVIGATE would be integrated in a nurse room

  • Site leads to let the RAs know if there are any clinicians interested in facilitating!

Site Lead Updates

Niagara

  • No urgent updates

  • Still offering virtual care but offers in-person first

Sudbury

  • Still encountering staffing challenges – turnover, extended sick leave, etc.

  • Hiring a new staff; also losing a staff member

North Bay

  • Clinicians share that clients have been unwell lately. Exploring what factors may be contributing

  • More in-person visits taking place

  • Dr. Primeau’s office is now much closer to North Bay clinic, which creates more opportunities for clients to connect in-person

  • New manager Kelly Smirle has joined the team!

General ECHO

  • Case Presentation: North Bay | Didactic: Side Effects & Discontinuation (Dr. Omair Husain)

  • Audio files sent to transcriptionist and data will be shared at the annual meeting

Prescriber ECHO

Patient Measures Updates

* Durham numbers are from Jan 2020 to Jun 2022

Recruitment and Retention

  • Baseline: 100 participants | 6-month: 78 participants | 12-month: 55 participants | 18-month: 42 participants | 24-month: 32 participants

Youth Advisory Committee

  • Next meeting: April 28, 2023

    • Sophie will attend to discuss methodologies for manuscript

  • At the last meeting, Janet and Sandy shared fidelity results. YAC shared that they didn’t like that only CBT was offered (why not DBT, EFT, art therapy, etc.)

    • This mirrors what was heard in the qualitative interviews with youth. Many youth focused on alternative forms of therapy and how they were essential to recovery
