Yesterday’s interactive QIDS Program “Town Hall” was an opportunity to share information and gather input. Participants raised questions concerning sharing of QIDS Specialist positions, costs, and lines of accountability among other issues. These questions and others are posted on a “Frequently Asked Questions” document that will be updated from time to time as new information becomes available. Input received via participant polling and comments are already being used to plan next steps. Finally, in our update we indicated that funding approval for the AFHTO provincial team was “expected shortly.” I am very pleased to share the news that this funding was confirmed almost immediately following the Town Hall. We are very pleased to have been supported by the province to work with all of you on this exciting and timely program. Links to QIDS program information:
