In this interactive webinar, Dr. Jaky Kueper and Sara Bhatti described the progress made in Phase 1 of the Alliance Practice-Based Learning Network (PBLN) project to develop an AI decision-support tool, described the roadmap for Phase 2, and gathered feedback from participants to inform the Phase 2 co-design process.

This one-page infographic is a companion to the report, Towards a Learning Health System: Better Care Tomorrow When We Learn from Today. It provides an overview of what a learning health system is and why it's important; elements of the Alliance's Learning Health System; an example of the full learning cycle in practice; and ways to participate. 

The Alliance for Healthier Communities and its member organizations have long been committed to continuous learning and evidence-informed practice. Until now, the work to support this commitment has been weighted towards data collection and technical infrastructure building. These elements are important foundations for the Learning Health System, but in themselves, they are not sufficient to complete the cycle of learning. Combining this foundation with new processes of learning and improvement will result in a complete system, a Learning Health System.

This webinar was presented by Dr. Sean Kidd and Mariya Bezgrebelna from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Sean and Mariya are scientists whose research explores the health impacts of climate change with a particular focus on how these impacts disproportionately affect people who face barriers, such as housing insecurity or homelessness.

In 2017, the Auditor General reviewed the CHC program &developed Recommendations. The MOH has responded in 2019 and reported on progress to-date . additional progress & details are provided in this PowerPoint.

In her press conference, Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk was asked what stood out from her review of 5 different health care sectors --She said it was CHCs & the comprehensive services they provide under one roof: "They are pretty neat. It was most surprising to understand that type of operation exists in Ontario.“

For this lunch 'n' learn webinar, held on June 22, 2023, we convened a panel of experts in primary health care quality and virtual care delivery from the Alliance for Healthier Communities, Healthcare Excellence Canada, Canada Health Infoway, and Ontario Health. They presented an overview of their organizations' virtual care resources and helped us understand how these resources can be used together when planning and delivering care.
