MINUTES
ECHO
· Fourth ECHO session was completed/Nov 26th and all sites were in attendance! Presenters for next session in January were notified, reminders to follow in the upcoming months
· PSSP to remind site to complete the ECHO baseline and post-session surveys
· New sites can start doing ECHO post-session surveys as training is now complete
IMPLEMENTATION/ONBOARDING/TRAINING
Lauren and Sheila have been in contact since the Annual Project Meeting and Durham will have more support going forward
Going forward we will purchase a domain name for the web portal due to the increased interest in our project and to make it more searchable for potential new sites; currently working on search engine optimization strategies – Andrea
Key points from REDCap vs. Access for measurements discussion:
Originally chosen Access due to privacy reasons; housing clinical information at CAMH would require additional agreements
Not sustainable that sites will use REDCap after study is over; more worthwhile if they worked with PSSP, clinical informatics team and health records to implement their own local database
Other options would be to use paper, excel or locally stored documents that stays behind each sites firewall and not with us and we ask aggregate information from sites in the interim
Very lukewarm feedback form sites IT/privacy departments with using Access, will not support it and will probably go back to using EMRs upon study completion; CAMH will have to support IT, training and implementation in that case
Some sites have been documenting more information in case notes via free text however manually searching through notes will be cumbersome, hard to measure internal validity and unsustainable for monitoring
There is interest from sites to build NAVIGATE measures into EMRs eventually – using Access or REDCap would be a good pilot for that
REDCap is easier on our end as it’s already built – will need to find out what’s needed on our end and sites end regarding privacy & explore how to revise contracts – Abanti/Dielle/Mary
Clinicians will not need REDCap training in order to use it to put in data
Trillium is taking part in a two part training – one during EPION and another with NAVIGATE trainers in January; not yet clear which part of NAVIGATE they will be implementing
Aristotle and George met with their director of outpatient services and extended invitation to join, waiting to hear back from them
We will continue to develop online training programs for new sites – we do not have the budget for more in-person trainings and not the most sustainable option either; CAMH to continue working with education team and internal resources to build simulations and e-modules – George/Sarah
We will keep onboarding sites as they come early on to make a stronger case to obtain more funding in the future; may potentially make it difficult for comparison groups in research by onboarding different sites together, will have to get creative with analysis and revisit at a later time
Keep all post-training calls as is for December; re: IRT calls, if there are capacity issues (e.g. 15+ IRT clinicians on one call) will address as they come
ADVISORY COMMITTEES
Lillian to update us with FAC members preference of survey delivery after next FAC meeting
Update website and send out email to site leads which members we have from each site along with short bios/quotes from Augustina and Lillian
PATIENT MEASURES
REDCap referral link & instructions have been sent to PSSP – priority for the next few months is to disseminate to sites and refer clients over
Research team to carry out a practice run of the database next week – Dielle/Abanti/Andrea/Laura
Research team preparing to carry out research visits as we obtain research referrals
Completing one final check of IT with sites for research visits e.g. safety cables and laptops
Reminder- Next Wednesday December 4th 2019 is Project Team call
