Stroke Education Resources Gina Tomaszewski Sept 21, 2010
Goals • Provide health care providers across the continuum of care with the necessary stroke knowledge and skills to care for stroke survivors. • Implementation into practice, through the deliberate use of the Knowledge Translation Cycle with stroke education planning. • Development of Champions for stroke care in SWO.
Knowledge Transfer Cycle Learning Need 6. Boost Knowledge 1. Communication (Awareness/Readiness) 5. Sustain in practice 2. Learning Intervention 3. Implementation into Practice 4. Evaluate and Monitor
Health Care Provider Stroke Education: • Through all of our programming we reached 1480 health care providers in the 09/10 fiscal year (see Chart #1). This is a considerably lower number than previous years for several reasons: • Workshops provided this year focused on skill-development and therefore accommodated fewer numbers e.g. Motivational Interviewing workshop maximum number 30. • Fewer Tips and Tools workshops as the LTC was occupied with the implementation of the MDS-RAI. • In terms of our stroke rounds videoconference (provincial and regional), it is always difficult to obtain a true estimate as they can also be accessed through live web cast.
Consumer education • Although our primary goal is health care provider education, we do capture in our database all the consumer education that occurs in SWO through our regional district team. • We reached approximately 1198 consumers with general stroke education including Signs and Symptoms of Stroke, what is a stroke, and blood pressure education.
Educational Programs/ResourcesThere are provincial and regional resources available across the continuum of care. Check out: www.heartandstroke.ca/profed Emergency Acute Rehab Prehospital Prevention Community
Tips and Tools • Consists of a series of 4 sessions: • Cognition, Perception and Behavior • Feeding and Swallowing • Communication • Mobility
Knowledge of Strategies to Promote Independent Feeding for Stroke Survivors
Patient Self-Management A resource to help healthcare providers enhance their understanding of the various self-management approaches: individual or group that are available. Includes a DVD with electronic copies of the tools in the resource.
www.selfmanagementtoolkit.com A website that contains resources, and modules to help health care providers learn more about self-management. There are quizzes included in each module so you can test your knowledge. The Homeroom feature allows you to share experiences in using either motivational interviewing or self-management. You can also post questions.
Stroke Networks • Promote the uptake and use of Best Practices in stroke care through the use of stroke networks. • Created Stroke Networks in SWO: SLP Network, Recreation Therapist Network, Social Worker Network. • They have an annual face to face meeting, and meet via teleconference twice a year.
Mentoring Experience Process: Complete a “Mentoring Request and Evaluation Tool”.
