Advancing the Learning Health System

Are you interested in measuring the complexity of your organization's clients at a more granular level? 

Staff at London InterCommunity Health Centre (LIHC) have developed a collaborative exercise to measure the complexity of their clinical clients. This allowed them to rebalance their clinicians' rosters, ensuring balanced workloads. In this Lunch 'n' Learn webinar, LIHC staff described the project and provided an in-depth look at their methodology.

This report contains data from the annual Quality Improvement Plans (QIPs) that were submitted to Ontario Health for the 2024-25 fiscal year by the 74 Community Health Centre (CHC) members of the Alliance for healthier communities. It consists of two documents: 

In 2023, the Alliance conducted a pilot study of the EQ-5D tool for capturing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) - essentially, a standardized way to measure how clients perceive their health and wellbeing, and track changes in their health and wellbeing over time. This webinar provides an orientation to the EQ-5D, a review of the pilot study and what we learned from  it, and an overview of the supports we will be providing for implementation.

This webinar, recorded on October 2, 2024, presents some of our sector's key learnings about sociodemographic data (SDD) collection in community primary health care settings. 

# Abstract

The Alliance for Healthier Communities created this resource to help Alliance member organizations understand the relationship between client health complexity ("SAMI" score) and panel-size targets.

 

À l’automne 2022, l’Alliance pour des communautés en santé a lancé un projet de recherche pour mettre à l’essai le questionnaire EQ-5D pour la collecte de mesures des résultats déclarés par les patients (MRDP) dans six centres de santé communautaire (CSC).

Le projet avait comme objectif :

#Introduction
