Our path to…….
•
Addresses what we learned from patients and their caregivers in our recent work: Navigating the system- Is anyone joining the dots? Getting lost in the transition- Who is the puzzle maker? Frustration with redundancy, repetition and delay Communication- Who is listening? Integrated healthcare is key to improving patient experience
•
Links care transitions and health system improvement work under the umbrella of patient centered co-design.
•
What we learn in PATH will be used to improve care transitions for everyone in Ontario 8

Key part of the plan – public/patient engagement •With whom? Healthcare’s stewards, stakeholders, users – missing piece of puzzle Province-wide engagement with srs/caregivers (fall 2011) Public engagement panel (2012-2015) Province-wide engagement, round 2 (2014) Summit (2015) •Why? Premise and Promise
&
What we heard Loud and Clear ..from province-wide engagement with seniors/families, friends •The primacy – and problems – of primary care •The importance of connections and clarity about next steps •The communication deficit •The inclusion factor – hey what about us? •Issues of equity –don’t let people facing barriers fall behind Double vulnerability – alone, and with cognitive or mental health challenges People wondered how seniors with capacity deficits would cope with transitions if they didn’t have a caregiver or family or friend support. Who would coordinate their care, take them to appointments and advocate on their behalf? Loud and Clear

“I don’t know what’s happening next, but where do you go to find the answers? Seems like there are roadblocks set up in the system that make it hard.” “ with a specialist. We waited five months “Our doctor sent us for an appointment and never heard anything, so I called and they had no record of the appointment. It would be a good idea”if someone from the doctor’s office called the patient once an appointment is made to confirm.”
I’ve never been asked as a caregiver, 'What’s convenient for OrFoundation 'How would Theyou?' Change this work in your family?' instead it’s 'This is what we’re going to do for you.' There's no discussion of collaboration.”
Embedding patient/caregiver views, & voice into Foundation’s work • PANORAMA: panel of Ontario residents exchanging views, experiences and advice to improve healthcare – launched September 2012 • 32 members – reflect diversity of the province, share common experience – all have chronic health conditions or care for someone who does • Demographics:
Ages: 24 to 83 (>50% over 55) Household income: < $20K to > $100,000 8 Non-European 8 Caregivers 4 Both caregiver and patient

PANORAMA’s scope and focus • To provide a wide-angle, province-wide lens on the workings of PATH • To advise the Foundation on emerging issues relevant to integrated, patient-centred healthcare • To inform Foundation’s thinking, decision-making on its engagement, events, products, plans, etc. • To identify its own priority issues to explore (within mandate)

How will PATH Partners Work Together ? 5 project teams, each working on a different transition improvement idea, will use the experience based design model to design improved transitions; Project teams composed of 4-6 patients/caregivers, and several providers from PATH partner organizations; Teams will design and test out solutions on small scale, refine ideas, and re-test;
Successful solutions will be tested on a larger scale with seniors in the community;
Success of the solutions will be measured all along the way
