  • Each role needs to have an interview with all the site roles (5 roles x 3 sites = 15 interviews)

Submitting EPI-SET’s Work

Funding

  • Alexia has updated the ministry on the work every month or so. They are focused on quality standards. Potential funding for PSSP. Patrick is involved.

  • ECHO is also looking into additional funding as well

Service Measures and Outcomes

  • There are many versions of Don Addington’s tool being used. We relied on the 2nd version though that is not the same version that Don is using in the U.S.

  • Have to make decisions on how we are going to measures it. Decide what is relevant.

  • EPI-NET within the U.S. - NIMH is funding, uploading their quality data. Don is involved in those projects. Reviews were done in late January. To check in to see what is being done, so we can align ourselves even more – if we have shared funding
