SUMMARY:From Digital Adoption to Connected Care: Measuring Progress and Advancing Interoperability in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Canada is making progress in digital health adoption\, but health systems are not always fully connected\, making it difficult for health information to move seamlessly between providers and care settings. \nNew pan-Canadian data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) shows significant progress: many Canadians can access their health information electronically\, and health care providers see value in digital tools. But being digital does not necessarily mean being connected. Access to complete health information remains limited\, and information does not always move seamlessly between providers and care settings. \nThis session will unpack what CIHI’s Digital health information in Canada: Measuring access and use report tells us about where Canada is making progress\, where gaps remain and what they mean for connected care. It will also highlight how CIHI is working with federal\, provincial and territorial partners to establish common measures and standards to track progress over time\, creating a clearer national picture of how Canadians and providers are experiencing digital health. \nSo\, what will it take to move from digital adoption to truly connected care? \nThe session will look beyond measurement to the work underway through CIHI’s Connected Care Initiative. Participants will learn how CIHI is working with partners to advance pan-Canadian health data standards that can help information move consistently and meaningfully across systems\, including the Pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework and Canadian Core Data for Interoperability (CACDI). \nTogether\, these efforts demonstrate how measurement and standards can work hand in hand: measuring where Canada stands\, identifying opportunities for improvement\, and building the data foundations needed to support interoperability and safer\, more connected and person-centered care.

SUMMARY:A Living Lab Approach to Advance Digital Tool Testing and Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Digital health tools are often procured and deployed with minimal real-world testing\, leading to poor integration and added burden to users. To address this\, while keeping pace with rapid digital change\, we developed a Living Lab that measures the impact of digitization on administrative burden. The model integrates simulations\, co-creation\, clinical observations\, and strategies for spread and scale.

SUMMARY:Virtual Health Care 101: Improving Digital Health Literacy through Community Workshops
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will share outcomes from the Virtual Healthcare 101 (VHC 101) pilot\, a library-based digital health literacy initiative co-designed with patient and community partners and delivered by the Virtual Care Program at London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph’s Health Care London. \nAs healthcare increasingly shifts to digital-first models\, equity-deserving populations continue to face barriers related to digital literacy and awareness of virtual care options. VHC 101 addresses a vital question: How do we ensure that the future of healthcare includes everyone in a system that is increasingly relying on digital tools? Using a co-design methodology alongside our community and patient partners\, we created a 90-minute workshop designed to introduce community members to virtual healthcare and digital system tools and resources to help improve participants’ knowledge of and comfort with accessing virtual care. \nThe presentation will highlight key findings from the initiative\, including measurable improvements in participant comfort with technology and understanding of virtual care options\, insights from library partners\, and six key drivers of digital inclusion identified through the pilot. The session will also explore lessons learned and the ways in which we are building out the program to ensure that the future of healthcare truly works to bridge the digital divide. \nOctober Webinar Wednesdays are sponsored by Quest Diagnostics

SUMMARY:Connected Content\, Connected Care: Building a Unified Digital Health Record
DESCRIPTION:This session explores how healthcare organizations can reduce information fragmentation by adopting an enterprise content management (ECM) strategy. Attendees will learn how intelligent capture\, archival of legacy data\, systems integrations\, and records governance create a unified record that improves clinician access\, operational efficiency\, compliance\, and digital transformation outcomes. \nOctober Webinar Wednesdays are sponsored by Quest Diagnostics
