Last week Stacey Guy, Ph.D., Anitha Ithayalingam, MPH and I had the opportunity to present on Knowledge Mobilization at the Ontario Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care. Here's a brief recap of our insights and takeaways: We began with a brief overview of the Ontario CLRI and who we serve. However, the bulk of the presentation was dedicated to the programs strategy for KMb, aiming for attendees to relate it to their own work. Stacey Guy, Ph.D. broke down the program-level approach into five categories: how, who, why, what, and where. 🎯 Consider the 'Why': At the Ontario CLRI, we want to encourage folks to change how they do things in the long-term care sector. KMb helps achieve this by providing us the tools to share the latest information, highlight the best ways of doing things, and make sure these changes are sustainable. 🌍 The 'Where': KMb operates within a dynamic context, influenced by macro, meso, and micro factors. It's not confined to a singular level; it's woven into the fabric of our entire program and individual projects. 👥 The 'Who': Mandated by the government, the Ontario CLRI Program serves the long-term care sector. But the 'who' of KMb extends beyond—it involves employees supporting KMb activities, partners for dissemination, and collaborators for guidance. ⚙ The 'What': Our projects range from site-specific to collaborative initiatives, incorporating KMb into everything we do. Developed by Graham et al., we have adopted the Knowledge to Action Framework, ensuring a seamless transition from knowledge creation to action. ❔ The 'How': Supported by the Ministries of Health and Long-Term Care, the Ontario CLRI Program spans across three host sites. KMb isn't an add-on; it's embedded in our operational structures, activities, and outcomes! 🔑 Key Takeaways: 1. Tailored Solutions: KMb strategies ensure your product meets the needs of its users. 2. Integrated Impact: Embedding KMb in operations positively influences program outcomes. 3. Real-World Transformation: KMb actively transforms research into practical solutions, driving positive change. I'm excited to continue this KMb journey while contributing to meaningful change in the long-term care sector! 💡 #KnowledgeMobilization #CLRI #LongTermCare #PositiveChange

In AIPC-2024 it's a great opportunity to meet the eminent speakers who have the knowledge and experience in implementing and promoting collaborative education and practice in healthcare. IPE (Interprofessional Education) and IPP (Interprofessional Practice) are concepts in healthcare that aim to improve collaboration and teamwork among healthcare professionals. IPE involves bringing together students or practitioners from different healthcare disciplines to learn with, from, and about each other. It promotes effective communication, teamwork, and mutual respect. IPP, on the other hand, is the actual collaborative practice of healthcare professionals from different disciplines. It involves the active participation and cooperation of multiple professionals in assessing, planning, delivering, and evaluating patient care. IPE and IPP are essential for breaking down professional silos, addressing the complexity of healthcare, and providing holistic and patient-centered care.
