  • FAC has good engagement, but more representation needed across sites is needed, especially from Sudbury, Durham, Waterloo – Lillian

  • Working on methodology to monitor the delivery of NAV (Access Database) - aim is to eventually embed into EMR

  • Mary is working on post-training surveys:

  • Working with privacy officers and IT staff at each site regarding feasibility of access database; sites will be supported on this for duration of project but it should become more sustainable (in EMR) down the road

  • This data will help better track NAV service delivery and better follow clients

  • 12/18 people have responded to the survey; will be closed on Friday so reminder for site leads to share one more reminder with staff to complete it
