Faculty, students, and partners of DOFM traveled to Belgium in May for the 23rd International Conference on Integrated Care. Dr. Shannon Sibbald presented her work, titled A Framework to Support the Progressive Implementation of Team-Based Care for the Management of COPD: A Collective Case Study, funded by CIHR.
Megann Dong, a trainee, presented an integrated knowledge translation (iKT) project, titled Examining Individualized Participatory Approaches to Care for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. The team members include Megann Dong, Gillian Young, Brian Dunne, Donnie Antony, Ruth Armstrong, Dr. Bridget Ryan, Dr. Maria Mathews, and Dr. Shannon Sibbald. Donnie and Brian also attended the conference to learn more about integrated and team-based care from countries across the globe and share their own experiences as leaders in community-care. A poster from this larger project was also displayed at the conference, titled Interviewing persons-supported as part of an evaluation of developing individual patient-centred plans (PCP) for community care services: practical methodological considerations. Additionally, a poster by Atharv Joshi, Dr. Judith Belle Brown, Dr. Savundranayagam, titled Primary Care Physician Engagement in Health System Transformation: A Case Study was displayed.
