SUMMARY:Enhancing Care Flow and Patient Engagement through Automation: Reducing Backlogs and Burnout
DESCRIPTION:Canadian healthcare systems are grappling with growing backlogs\, limited access to primary care\, and the need for better continuity of care\, especially following hospital stays. At the same time\, improving patient experience and engagement is essential for sustainable care delivery. Automation offers valuable lessons in reducing administrative burdens\, streamlining workflows\, and supporting both clinicians and patients. \nThis webinar will explore real-world examples\, such as virtual care and remote monitoring\, improving primary care access\, connecting care with interoperable solutions\, and enhancing patient engagement. We’ll reflect on lessons learned from our initiatives\, highlighting what worked\, the challenges that remain\, and how automation and interoperability can improve care flow\, empower clinicians\, and deliver better outcomes across the healthcare journey.

SUMMARY:Qualitative Exploration of Emergency Department Nurse and Physician Experiences with the Ontario eHub HIE
DESCRIPTION:Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have improved information access and care continuity. Despite the benefits of EHRs\, Health Canada acknowledges the difficulties healthcare clinicians face in sharing or accessing information due to a lack of EHR interoperability. The lack of interoperability across settings can lead to unnecessary duplication of diagnostic testing\, longer wait times\, and extended hospital stays. \nIntegrating Health Information Exchange (HIE) into EHRs improves interoperability as it allows seamless information sharing between healthcare providers and settings\, creating a comprehensive picture of a patient’s health history through the healthcare system. The Ontario eHub HIE was launched to ensure seamless information transfer among healthcare providers by compiling patient data in a repository that can be queried into existing EHRs. Emergency departments rely heavily on access to comprehensive data; therefore\, it is important to evaluate the nursing and physician experiences of HIE. \nThis study aims to evaluate the Ontario eHub’s usability\, efficiency\, and impact on workflow for LHSC emergency department (ED) nurses and physicians approximately one year after implementation. \nThis study will adopt the interpretive description (ID) methodology and employ purposive sampling to recruit ED nurses and physicians. Grounded in the UTAUT model\, the study examines how the various concepts within UTAUT influence HIE utilization in ED. Data collection will be through one-on-one audio-recorded semi-structured interviews. Inductive thematic analysis will be utilized to analyze the participant data\, which aligns with ID methodology. \nFindings from this study can highlight how the Ontario eHUB HIE integrates into the workflows of ED nurses and physicians\, identifying areas for optimization. It can also inform future HIE expansions to other healthcare settings\, as it is currently limited to long-term care and acute care centres.

SUMMARY:DEI: From Promise to Practicality
DESCRIPTION:Digital Health Canada invites you to join this transformative webinar on November 20th\, led by Zen Tharani\, with expert panelists Gina Uppal and Steph Rebello. In the face of ongoing debates and the erosion of DEI (Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion) as a fundamental aspect of healthcare\, this webinar addresses why DEI is critical in digital health and provides actionable steps for embedding DEI principles in everyday practice. \nAbout the Webinar: With DEI gaining momentum\, yet facing challenges in various sectors\, healthcare must uphold DEI as a core component rather than an optional enhancement. This session will bridge the gap between DEI as a strategic goal and its practical application within digital health programs\, ensuring that equitable practices are woven into the design\, adoption\, and delivery stages. \nAttendees will learn about the Digital Health Equity Framework—a structured\, customizable tool that ensures inclusion across all project phases. Drawing from real-world examples and frontline experiences\, this balanced session combines a framework presentation and panel discussion\, offering perspectives on: \n\nThe evolution of DEI in digital health\nBuilding blocks for inclusive digital health programs\nEmbedding DEI in the digital health ecosystem through co-design and community-driven insights\nPractical methods for moving DEI from promise to active\, ongoing practice\n\nJoin us for this essential conversation as we move DEI from theory to action\, supporting health equity and accessible innovation for all.
