Advisory Committees
FAC
Great discussion and conversations at last FAC meeting! Dr. Voineskos attended and addressed questions regarding the challenges of doing research and the healthcare system
It’s important for the study leads to attend because FAC members can hear the bigger picture and get context for each of the different streams in the study – Lillian
Next FAC meeting is on March 12th, 2020
YAC
Next YAC meeting is on March 6th, 2020 – Dr. Foussias will be attending
Ongoing: YAC looking for interested youth to be referred from sites, and will be sending out a message through EPION mailing list
Need to talk to Divya and Simone regarding the monthly survey – not receiving as many responses but the membership is already low to begin with
Patient Measures
Completed research baseline visit with first family member! Second family member to be scheduled
The EPI-SET laptop shut down mid-assessment during the last research session – have simulated a mock session and there seems to be no problems with it
Our laptop has been set up with an Ethernet line so should solve internet issues on our end
North Bay has indicated that their EMR does not hold admission date as static info and will have to look between two different EMR systems to find this information but if necessary will go back and look for it to input into the REDCap referral link – Dayna
ECHO
Completed our sixth ECHO session yesterday. Thank you Dr. Kozloff for facilitating!
15 spokes in total. 10 responses received so far;
Sent out Amazon gift cards to winners!
Not as many conversations this time around – might be due to attendance
Thunder Bay was not present because transitioning to a new clinic
Durham psychiatry appointments are now on Tuesday – harder for people to attend
Local implementation specialists to talk with Durham/sites to prioritize ECHO and bring up any issues beforehand so we can prepare and adjust for meetings
Next ECHO session: March 24th on Maintaining Recovery; didactic from Connie & Tom and a case presented by Colin and Sara from Durham – they have been notified of this!
Awaiting feedback from project planning team re: curriculum for cycle two – attendees have till Friday to submit their comments and Abanti will send out a consolidated list again
Implementation/Onboarding/Training
Following up with site clinicians and PSSP on benefits and drawbacks of EENet Connect vs. EPI-SET portal for posting questions and discussions before moving forward on either one – Sarah
Drop-in sessions to begin in the summer on an as needed basis once post-training calls and ECHO sessions end
Indirectly it seems that sites/clinicians are wanting a place to ask questions as many are still reaching out to Sarah regarding implementation
Generally moving in the direction of having a forum set up, not sure on which platform; PSSP is happy to strategically plan and prepare to develop this on whichever site we choose
Having it through the portal makes sense because all resources and links are there so it’s easy to direct people there
Fidelity Reports – Janet & Mary
Please see attached PowerPoint for the slides from the presentation
Overall message to be disseminated are that sites are doing well they can do better
Sites still struggle to see that things can improve– need to be thoughtful on how this message is delivered re: the consistent drops; Durham did experience a significantly bigger drop
Team to create key take home messages to share alongside the report
Ratings are consistently lower than the average; not surprising as there have been inconsistencies in delivery and documentation practices
NAVIGATE will have an impact on team practice, assessment and care planning and psychosocial treatment not so much on pharmacotherapy
These reports are replicating the original findings to some extent and the rational for why this study is taking place is very clear
This is good to present to FAC and YAC – need their powerful advocacy to go back to the clinic because this may be a call to action for clinicians that are not on board yet
