Alliance for Healthier Communities

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.

In this Lunch 'n' Learn webinar, LIHC staff described the project and provided an in-depth look at their methodology.

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 train-the-trainer webinar was presented by the Alliance for Healthier Communities in collaboration with Elections Canada in October 2024.
