Contracts: waiting on Waterloo and DSA from Durham (Dielle has followed up with Yvonne)
IT infrastructure updates: North Bay and Durham is set up and ready to go, will be acquiring a laptop for Niagara and bringing it to site visit on Jan 24th (their IT department has given green light to have it set up on their network)
Site visits: Durham completed, Niagara scheduled for Jan 24th, North Bay and Sudbury scheduled for Jan 21st
Update on protocol paper: some minor edits requested so should be able to finalize relatively quickly – congratulations Dr. Kozloff!
IMPLEMENTATION – TRAINING & SITE UPDATES
Site updates:
Kim: team is now starting to get their heads around how to actually start, meeting on Jan 31st to break down what each component entails; a few more members have started so looking to have a soft launch in Feb with team members actually using the materials
Would like her clinicians to speak with Slaight clinicians
Alan: preparing materials to move forward e.g. flow charts and info sheets
Anne-Marie: team is moving forward with planning day, how to implement NAVIGATE within their current structure; Josette is attending the planning day because her team has already implemented and can provide direction on how to proceed
Dayna is helping to strategically plan to ensure they have a really good sense of different components and how they can operationalize for success
Experimenting with modules, IRT and Family educator has already started to use one or two modules – no concerns with it right now
Looking to hire a pediatric psychiatrist who will be starting shortly and will see patients that are below 17; will send out e-introduction when they are hired
Jen: completed a soft launch before the November training, had a regroup on Monday to see how everything was progressing before the holidays, everyone is getting familiar with the content
Family worker getting along with modules really well because it’s not much different from what they have already been doing
Meeting scheduled for Dec 6th to plan and organize; all new clients to receive NAVIGATE starting January 1st for the local program; regional program will require more time
IRTs are nurses so they are having a bit of difficulty getting into the role
Also wondering how to train nurses within the regional program
Sanjeev: could possibly create a hub and spoke model where locally trained clinicians/physicians can educate those in the regional program
Attendance at post training have been consistently good amongst all roles, variable attendance with prescribers however
If there is an opportunity to have clinicians at sites come to CAMH and Sarah can set up back to back meetings with Slaight clinicians (30 min sessions) in helping people actually get started with the materials, logistics and flow, practice runs etc.
Normal for people to feel overwhelmed and uncomfortable at first, but best to pair learning the content with practice and get into a routine of
Clinicians are also encouraged to go back to the e-learnings that might help solidify implementation now that they’ve completed the training
ECHO
Next ECHO session on January 28th, excited to have all sites in attendance!
Exploring new ways to incentivize responses to increase survey completion rates
We really rely on these surveys to explore and improve the ECHO product and experience. This is also important for our ECHO outcomes and data collection
Looking to incentivize ECHO responses; e.g. a first, second and third prize draw system
Attendance at ECHO sessions have been good amongst all roles and sites, variable attendance with prescribers however as they are not FTEs and have other clinics and meetings to attend
Discussions of a potential monthly pseudo-afterhours prescribers focused ECHO; we can reinforce the messages for free CME, sometimes we have people coming for case and not the didactic
Individuals can log in with their personal devices, don’t necessarily have to be on site to attend
ECHO Orientation for new sites: confirmed with Thunder Bay & Sudbury; Dayna following up with Waterloo team
Orient some logistics re: technology and support setting up with the first sessions
YOUTH & FAMILY ADVISORY COMMITTEES
Currently there are 3 members on the YAC, we have identified new strategies to recruit new members
2 new members have been identified for the FAC, from Durham and Waterloo – thank you for referring members!
Augustina and Lillian to call into family and youth groups at each site to recruit more members – can get in touch with PSSP or Andrea and Laura to connect
Would be helpful if site leads compile a list of clients that are nearing the end of treatment at each site so they can be referred to be members on the YAC & FAC
PATIENT MEASURES
Successfully completed our first baseline participant from North Bay! Second and third referrals from North Bay and Durham to be scheduled. This is an exciting start to 2020!
Would be ideal if we are able to pair research activity with the start of NAVIGATE at each site
SERVICE OUTCOMES
Reaching out to sites (team lead, IT and privacy) about using REDCap to document NAVIGATE delivery
Working on finalizing data elements and metrics to monitor NAVIGATE delivery
Will reach out to new sites in coming days to coordinate orientation for EPI fidelity assessment
Site leads and staff can expect a survey in their email on readiness to implement NAVIGATE in coming weeks to give us a good picture of how we can move forward– this is different from the ECHO survey
Implementation will be a bit different than patient measures REDCap database
Also, upcoming qualitative interviews re: NAVIGATE experiences – will keep team updated with the progress in the coming months
