The TRANSFORMATION Study aims to improve both the science of primary care performance measurement and the ways those results are reported to practitioners, decision-makers, and the public to encourage improvement within the system.
If your EMR could talk back to you, what would you ask?
We want to involve you, as team members, in Primary Care Research! The Maritime Family Practice Research Network (MarNet-FP) holds data from sentinel physicians and nurse practitioners from both urban and rural environments. This electronic medical record (EMR) information can be used for research. This session is designed to introduce clinical users of the EMR to BRIC NS.
Building Bridges: Creating Sustainability in the Transitional Health Clinic for Refugees Through Planned Transitions to Community Providers
The Transitional Health Clinic for Refugees in Halifax, NS serves as a transitional Health Home for newly arrived refugees and claimants. This presentation will focus on the model and evaluation plan.
In collaboration with Primary Health Care, Nova Scotia Health Authority, BRIC NS has arranged for the Maritime SPOR Support Unit (MSSU) to offer the CIHR Foundations in Patient-Oriented Research Curriculum to interested BRIC NS network partners. The program is delivered to researchers, patients, clinicians, policymakers and healthcare decision makers to learn more about patient-oriented research and partnerships.
The time has come to start preparing for the 2017 PIHCI funding competitions. We are anticipating that the next round of PIHCI funding opportunities will be announced in spring 2017 including Knowledge Synthesis, Comparative Program and Policy Analysis, and Multi-Year grants.
To kick things off, we are holding a Project Incubator on November 18 to bring together groups of researchers and to move forward with project ideas. We are allowing enough time in this meeting to create working documents.
Primary care providers regularly encounter frail persons in their daily clinical work. However, routine identification and measurement of frailty is not part of their standard practice and there is a general lack of awareness and consistency in their approach to frailty. This seminar will present the web-based “Frailty Portal” as a means of providing care to frail patients.
Palliative trajectories are extremely vulnerable – especially when it comes to co-operation across sector borders. But how does it look from patients’, relatives’ and professionals’ perspectives? In Denmark, GPs play an important role in these trajectories, but what do we know about their effort and attitudes? How do we go ahead from here?
BRIC NS and the Maritime SPOR SUPPORT Unit (MSSU) are happy to offer consultation for research teams applying for the Knowledge Synthesis grant. Discuss your project and further develop your grant application. Advice and support is available in the following areas:
Excess gestational weight gain is associated with a number of adverse outcomes for mothers and their offspring in the prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum periods. This seminar will explore gestational weight gain through the lens of the Patient-Centred Clinical Method Framework.
We invite you to a “lunch and learn” on community engagement and research. Participants at this lunch and learn will have the opportunity to ask questions about the opportunities and challenges associates with community engagement in research and to discuss best practices.
