This article highlights the integrated work of the East Toronto Health Partners and their high-priority communities. It describes how they built a community-embedded learning health system in which patient partners are included in each step of the research cycle, from idea generation to dissemination.
Pendant 16 mois, entre septembre 2022 et décembre 2023, OurCare a interrogé près de 10 000 personnes sur leur expérience des soins primaires et sur leurs valeurs, idées et espoirs concernant l'avenir et l'amélioration de ces soins.
La conversation a mis l'accent sur l'engagement des personnes qui ont le plus besoin de soins, qui sont confrontées aux plus grands obstacles à l'accès aux soins et qui sont les plus susceptibles d'être exclues des décisions politiques concernant les soins primaires. OurCare s'est déroulé en trois phases :
Over 16 months, between September 2022 and December 2023, OurCare engaged nearly 10,000 people about their experiences with primary care and their values, ideas, and hopes for the future and improvement of that care.
The conversation placed special emphasis on engaging people who have the greatest needs of care, face the greatest barriers to accessing care, and are most likely to be excluded from policy-making decisions about primary care. OurCare had three phases:
La croissance rapide du volume de données générées et recueillies en matière de soins de santé, conjuguée aux avancées dans les méthodes et technologies d’analyse de données, transforme le domaine de la santé. L’intelligence artificielle (IA) et les outils connexes d’aide à la décision ont un potentiel exceptionnel pour exploiter les données en vue d’améliorer la qualité et d’adapter les programmes et services pour répondre aux besoins des communautés.
A rapid increase in the amount of health care data being generated and collected, coupled with advancements in data-analysis methods and technologies, is transforming healthcare. Artificial intelligence (AI) and related decision-support tools show remarkable potential for using data to empower quality improvement and tailoring of programs and services to meet client and community needs.
KEY POINTS
Canada spends less of its total health budget on primary care than the average among Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries (5.3% v. 8.1%).
Canada can learn lessons to inform policy on primary care from OECD countries like the United Kingdom, Norway, Netherlands and Finland where more than 95% of the population has a regular primary care clinician or place of care.
The First Ministers Health Accords of 2001 through 2003 (Health Canada 2006) launched the renewal of primary care toward more comprehensive care delivery models. We scanned government websites in the 10 Canadian provinces to assess how comprehensive and integrated renewal models were for health and social services in 2018. More comprehensive primary care delivery models were the norm in five out of 10 provinces.
