Minutes:

Contracts

  • Niagara – signed and sent to Niagara for their signatures

  • Durham – Dielle is following up every week, still under review

REB Amendments

  • DUP measurement – no need for amendment, will be measured through the SCID

  • No ePro tool – no need for amendment

  • Protocol states: “Using Project-ECHO infrastructure, all interviewer-rated assessments will be administered via live two-way video conferencing by trained interviewers, in a manner identical to the approach utilized in the original NAVIGATE trial”

  • Don’t necessarily need to update the protocol to include Zoom as we are doing it through live two-way video conference

  • George: We could specify that we will be using Zoom as part of other amendments we are submitting to the REBs as a point of clarification.

Qualitative Follow Up

  • Sophie supposed to join March 13th (Aristotle is away) and Juveria is available to join March 27th if there needs to a follow up

  • Decision: to schedule both Sophie and Juveria for March 27th

  • Though Juveria is the lead on this, Sophie has family work experience and will be a collaborator

  • The qualitative portion is not one of the 4 objectives

  • REDCAP - Jasmyn and Steve to connect with Juveria around the REDCAP piece for the qualitative data - It shouldn’t necessarily be on REDCAP, still have a conversation around this piece. One column in REDCAP from an administrative point of view, we are not having people who are currently using services on our advisory teams. Though for the qualitative studies we have those currently doing services, so there could be a data linkage piece there.

  • Two fold process 1. 10-15 interviews of stakeholders, staff, etc 2. Once implemented, we want an understanding of the experience of caregivers, clients, etc.

  • Timeline of roll out? - According to the protocol: “Semi-structured interviews will be conducted at three stages during the NAVIGATE implementation process: after the first engagement, at the end of the implementation, and at study end” - Potentially create a design that encompasses that time frame. Potentially having a core group that she follows now, then coordinates at end of implementation, then at end of service

Implementation Committee Update

  • PSSP’s goal is to create a coaching plan to share amongst the team member as a way to provide weekly updates. Meeting next week to develop a clear tool.

  • This coaching plan will include timeline of all completed tasks, updates on site activities, what is working well and concerns they may have

  • Currently PSSP is: - Looking into the technological capacity questions of the sites (NB has to ask upper management). - Conducting landscape work - Difficulties with Durham regarding moving forward due to the contracts (Kelsey is waiting)

  • Anything that comes up will be highlighted during Wednesday implementation meetings
