SUMMARY:Webinar Wednesday - Enhancing COPD care: E2P's comprehensive EMR-embedded tool
DESCRIPTION:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects more than 2.5 million Canadians\, half of whom will not be properly diagnosed until they reach an advanced stage of the disease. Clinicians need easier point-of-care access to evidence-based information to support faster\, appropriate diagnoses and improve patient health outcomes. \nThe Evidence2Practice Ontario (E2P) program offers a free EMR-integrated COPD tool for TELUS PS Suite and Accuro QHR (with an OSCAR Pro version to be released this fall) that supports easier access to the information at the point of care. \nIn a demonstration of the E2P tool for COPD’s key features\, you’ll learn more about: \n\nCOPD diagnosis and how the tool supports the confirmation of diagnosis by spirometry and captures results.\nDisease management support and the embedded accessory instruments to measure the degree of disease burden. You’ll also see how the tool tracks acute exacerbations\, graphs timing\, reviews\, and captures severity to determine the risk of future acute exacerbations.\nMedication plans that provide decision support related to recommended pharmacologic treatments.\n\nA primary care clinician and E2P user* will join us to share their experience using the tool with patients\, highlighting their favourite features and optimization tips. \nE2P implementation support staff will also be on hand to answer your practical and clinical questions.

SUMMARY:Webinar Wednesday - Advancing Paramedic Training and Assessment through Virtual Reality: Saskatchewan's College of Paramedics VAPOC Project
DESCRIPTION:There is a paramedic shortage in Saskatchewan. The Government of Saskatchewan has allocated $10.8 million in the 2022-23 budget to fill more Emergency Medical Services positions\, mainly in rural and remote areas. However\, barriers to licensure limit workforce supply. Paramedic assessments are limited to on-site evaluation\, posing undue burden and financial risk to applicants\, especially foreign-trained ones. \nCommunity paramedics\, who deliver short-term care for low-acuity illnesses\, alleviate pressure on ER wait times and hospital beds but constitute less than 1% of all licensed paramedics in Saskatchewan. The urgency due to COVID-19 has opened a policy window for innovation and regulatory change in virtual technology for education and licensure. One promising innovation is virtual reality (VR) simulation. \nThe Saskatchewan College of Paramedics has developed high-fidelity VR simulations that assess 70% of the competencies required for entry to practice. However\, VR use in regulatory contexts is a new concept that warrants further exploration. Our research team has been evaluating its usability and potential applications for regulatory purposes. \nThis webinar aims to present preliminary findings from two innovative projects leveraging VR technology to enhance paramedic training and assessment in Saskatchewan. We will explore future directions involving engagement with regulators on recognizing VR as an acceptable practice.
