Learning & KTE Event Program

Studies have shown that interprofessional care teams outperform other models in caring for patients with diabetes. Nevertheless, we still have a long way to go. AFHTO members have thus identified diabetes care as a priority for collectively advancing improvement in primary care. To support our members in this, AFHTO, in partnership with the Centre for Collaboration, Motivation, and Innovation(CCMI), and with the support of Ontario’s LHINs, is presenting a full-day learning event for QIDSS, IHPs, and patients with diabetes. Educators from the Ontario’s LHINs and CCMI will introduce attendees to self-management as a care tool and lead a discussion of how it can be used to address gaps in diabetes care. This will be followed the next day by a knowledge translation workshop for QIDS Specialists on creating concrete action plans for moving from measuring to improving diabetes (and other outcomes) in their own teams.

• Thursday, June 16 – full day for IHPs, QIDS Specialists, and patients: How to use self-management techniques to move from measuring to improving care for patients with diabetes.
• Friday, June 17 – half-day for QIDS Specialists: Developing collective action plans to improve diabetes (and other) outcomes.
