SUMMARY:Best Practices in Adoption of TeleHealth: COVID and Beyond mini-series
DESCRIPTION:This series is open to all primary and ambulatory healthcare workers across the globe using or planning on using electronic information and telecommunication technologies to support and promote long-distance clinical health care and patient education. \nTelehealth can address COVID-19 and other epidemic situations by limiting exposure to infection for vulnerable populations and health care workers while expanding the reach of resources to communities that have limited access to needed services. This allows patients to receive health services away from settings where the potential for contracting COVID-19 is high\, such as hospitals\, health clinic waiting rooms\, private practices\, etc. \nEach session will include facilitation by Dr. Sanjeev Arora\, Director of Project ECHO and Dr. Matt Bouchonville\, Associate Medical Director\, ECHO Institute\, a didactic presentation\, and the following panel of experts for Q&A: \n\nJoseph C. Kvedar\, MD; Vice President\, Partners in Health\nChristian B. Ramers\, MD\, MPH\, AAHIVS; Medical Director\, Laura Rodriguez Research Institute\nJohn D. Scott\, MD\, MSc\, FIDSA; Medical Director\, University of Washington Digital Health\nKristin Sohl\, MD\, FAAP; Executive Director\, ECHO Autism\n\nSession 1:     Monday\, May 18\, 2020    7:00 AM – 08:30 AM \n                        Ideal Integration of Telehealth into the New Normal \nSession 2:     Wednesday\, May 27\, 2020   7:00 AM – 08:30 AM \n                         Virtual Visits – Maximizing the Experience\n\nSession 3:     Monday\, June 1\, 2020    7:00 AM – 08:30 AM\n                        Telehealth Technology\, Privacy and Payment Policy \n  \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Driving and Accelerating a ‘One System’ Response: Why COVID-19 has Shone a Spotlight on Integrated Care
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is in association with IFIC Canada\, the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto and The Change Foundation. It will be chaired by Jodeme Goldhar\, Executive Lead\, Strategy and Innovation at The Change Foundation and Professor Walter Wodchis from the  Institute of Health Policy\, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto\, Co-Directors of IFIC Canada \n\nHigh performing health and social care systems provide exceptional care\, quality and experiences for patients\, caregivers and providers. Pivotal to this\, is how we work across health and social care as one team. The need for integrated care is a global priority and is poised to address fragmentation and accelerate the improvements that are needed. During a global pandemic\, the need to work as an integrated system is even more pressing and gives us an opportunity to pause\, reflect and respond. \nIn situations where systems are subjected to unprecedented pressure\, organizations and sectors may respond from the lens of what can their individual organization or sector do\, rather than responding as a cohesive and interconnected system. \nOrganizations that have embraced collaborative models of response and care and were already working to advance integration pre-pandemic appear to be more effective in responding as one connected team and community. \nThrough this webinar\, we will profile Canadian and international examples that demonstrate what teams have leveraged and accelerated in order to respond to COVID-19 as one connected team and community. \n\n\nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Staying Resilient as the COVID-19 Pandemic Continues
DESCRIPTION:We’ve heard the analogy that responding to the COVID-19 pandemic is a marathon\, not a sprint. Health care workers in all positions and disciplines are cautioned repeatedly about the importance of self-care practices so they can go the distance. But now\, several months into this crisis\, your resiliency techniques may be starting to feel stale or inadequate. How do you continue to flex your stress-resistance muscles for the long haul? \nJoin us for a webinar with J. Bryan Sexton\, PhD\, Director of the Duke Center for Healthcare Safety and Quality\, whose work centers on combining the science of enhancing workforce well-being with practical tools and strategies for building and maintaining a resilient workforce. Dr. Sexton will share techniques to help you keep going in a session that is engaging\, fun\, evidence-based\, and more relevant than ever to the lives of busy health care workers. \n  \nClick here to register.
