Cheat sheet for tracking phone encounters: This tool has been created to help EDs support their teams’ efforts to track phone encounters with patients. Not only does this provide better insight into the whole team’s contribution to care, it’s a crucial component to being able to report on “follow-up after hospitalization” in a way that better reflects how teams are doing this. Add your patients’ voice to the clinical trial of a patient-reported outcomes tool. Patient-reported outcomes are increasingly recognized as a major indicator of quality in health care. An Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) Tool is being developed and the research team is looking for you and your patients’ input in a pilot study. Join a webinar on June 2nd, at noon or contact improve@afhto.ca for more information. Team Level Primary Care Practice Report sent to EDs May 31: The new report contains refreshed data to May 2015.
