LHIN-level D2D summary: Please feel free to share this LHIN-level summary of D2D performance with your LHIN and other partners. Following the advice of QSC and the AFHTO Board, it contains data only for LHINs which have a minimum of 6 teams contributing data, to eliminate the chance of identifying any one team. Quality in primary care: The Auditor General reported that the MOHLTC hasn’t defined quality in primary care. Maybe – but AFHTO members have! What’s more, you’ve shown that this definition of quality, which reflects patient and provider priorities, is related to lower health care costs. Feel free to share the good news widely. Improving care for patients with depression: Even though major depression is more commonly managed in emergency departments or inpatient settings, primary care teams may find it useful to consider the recently released quality standards for major depression. Tools to help with your 2017 QIP: HQO has released the 2017 QIP Navigator and several related tools. We’ve posted them along with a free decision-support toolkit which may help you respond to questions about equity in this year’s QIP. To make your QIP even easier, consider aligning it with D2D indicators. Medication reconciliation: If you want to hear how others are addressing this in their QIPs, click “yes” below. Depending on demand, we’ll set up a webinar. The Pharmacist Community of Practice will also be providing more insight into med rec definitions and indicators in time for QIP preparation.
