First three RISE briefs developed through ‘peer profiles’ approach now available
Over the last several months, RISE initiated a ‘peer profiles’ approach to co-design RISE briefs for ongoing and emergent OHT priorities, including those established through the work of the Primary Care Action Team, which can contribute to creating a high-performing primary-care sector in Ontario. The first three of these priority-focused RISE briefs have been completed and can now be accessed at the links below:
- implementing integrated clinical pathways using a population-health management approach
- establishing a ‘Primary Care Network’
- improving primary-care access and attachment.
Each RISE brief profiles the experiences and lessons learned from teams that have particularly rich insights to share about the priorities, and as part of the development process, provided all OHTs with an opportunity to learn from peers and collaborate in efforts to advance a useful resource that can be used by all teams.
Each brief was developed through an iterative process that included the following steps:
- selecting the OHTs to be profiled, which was driven by teams’ self-identification as having experiences and lessons to share and input from key OHT support partners (including the Ministry of Health and Ontario Health), and which aimed for balanced coverage across regions in the province
- eliciting and capturing key insights and lessons learned through:
- one-on-one interviews with leaders from each profiled OHT that are actively working on the priority addressed
- a dedicated peer-sharing and learning session, open to one to two leaders from all other OHTs (i.e., one working-group leader and one clinical leader) and other OHT support partners, in which each profiled OHT presented their insights about the priorities, and provided an opportunity for team members from other teams to complement these presentations by sharing their experience and providing feedback on a draft of the peer profile (including visuals and key messages)
- one-on-one interviews with leaders from each profiled OHT that are actively working on the priority addressed
- drafting the penultimate version of the RISE brief and circulating to profiled OHTs, the Ministry of Health and Ontario Health for feedback before finalizing the document.
RISE also conducted an evidence syntheses to underpin the RISE briefs on primary-care access and attachment, and establishing a Primary Care Network, which will be made available soon.
