  2. What we’ve been working on: • Case management (CM) • Patient Advisory Group • Addictions Group

  3. CM restructuring • Restructure of CM team with more defined roles for each team member • Complexity score created • CM form and database changed to include complexity score

  4. CM Restructuring: Why? • IDC team retreat • Evolving mandate of clinic to see patients with higher levels of medical and psychosocial complexity • Creation of complexity score gave us an idea of overall complexity of IDC patients

  5. CM Restructuring: How? • After the IDC retreat we realized we need more than anecdotal/qualitative measures to evaluate CM and complexity of patients at the IDC • STOP evaluators shared with us the indicators used by the STOP outreach team. THANKS!! • Modified these indicators to suit our needs

  6. CM Restructuring: QI • Being able to quantify and measure CM. Not just staff and patient reports • Helps determine patient care plan • Ensures appropriate team members are involved in patients care

  7. Other changes/new initiatives • Restructuring of Patient Advisory Group • New time and new location (at clinic) • More frequent meetings • Less formal setting • Food available Changes made to increase patient engagement and patient voice

  8. Other changes/new initiatives • Creation of Addictions Group • During addiction clinic hours • Low barrier group (new members always welcome) • Support, education, and treatment options provided by interdisciplinary team • Food available Group created to increase engagement of our most marginalized addiction patients and to offer alternative support and treatment options.

  9. Lessons Learned • Be creative when developing evaluation measures • Importance of ongoing evaluation of own process (current process, groups etc). We now have the tools to do it!! • Importance of engagement and including patient perspective • We are not afraid of change!
