Consider using D2D data for your QIP and annual operating plan: D2D 4.1 will be released in early 2017. You’ll be able to incorporate refreshed data from your new Primary Care Practice Report and use your updated results in your annual program and quality improvement plans. Keep an eye on this page for updates. Speaking of program planning, an updated Program Indicator Catalogue will be coming in January to help you select indicators for your Schedule A report that are more in line with evidence and what your peers are using. Check out the Catalogue and other resources here. Help for your patients with depression: Now that you can identify patients with depression in your EMR (thanks to the standardized query for depression), you may want to be part of a CAMH project to better manage depression and depressive symptoms. It builds on the STOP smoking cessation program that most AFHTO members are already part of. Check out what other teams are doing to get even better at all kinds of things. The AFHTO 2016 Bright Lights winners, poster and concurrent-session presentations are now posted, as are the abstracts from Health Quality Ontario’s 2016 Health Quality Transformation conference, and the winners of the 2016 Minister’s Medals and Honour Roll. There’s a good chance somebody was doing something that might work for you!
