This session will be the first of a seven-part engagement learning series. This series will focus on building connections and competencies for meaningful patient engagement. Each 90-minute monthly session will include interactive expert panels and Q&A. We encourage attendance for all sessions. The first session will focus on learning about key practices in relationship building including active listening, demonstrating compassion and empathy, and building rapport.

The federal government has given an unprecedented amount of focus to health, with several commitments made to health human resources, pharmacare, dental care and health data.

As we look ahead to 2023, how will existing federal commitments be reflected in the 2023 Federal Budget? As many commitments require close collaboration with the provinces and territories to develop and implement, what will this mean for the dynamics between federal, provincial and territorial governments?

Join us on Tuesday, December 6, for an opportunity to hear from Santis' political and health policy experts as we do a deep dive into the current state — and potential future — of the federal government’s health policy commitments.

Empowering teams to monitor the patient experience in real-time shows great potential to improve patient outcomes. But there are many challenges to start collecting valuable feedback and helping drive internal change. Learn how innovative healthcare organizations connect with patients to increase response rates and patient adherence to care plans. The scientific literature has shown that working closely with patient feedback helps build a strong relationship between them and their healthcare providers. Such initiative can lead to a reduction in medical complications and patient readmissions.

Integration is the lever to enable population health and well-being. A key component of integration is the role of partnering with the volunteer sector to improve outcomes for our patients, caregivers and our population. In this session, we will take a deep dive to learn firsthand about the role of engaging the volunteer sector from the perspectives of policy-makers, researchers and a person with lived experience. This session will discuss the available evidence, the volunteer sector’s role in policy, and share approaches and practical examples of local work that engages with the volunteer sector. This is a session you won’t want to miss!

Developing integrated care systems often requires newly constituted intersectoral teams to form and rapidly engage in mutually reinforcing activities of integration, while attending, in parallel, with the processes by which these new teams engage in collaborative leadership, decision-making and/or system improvement. Professor Robin Miller, based at the University of Birmingham in the UK, will discuss the promise and pitfalls of collaborative leadership within integrated care systems and how attending to process can support inter-sectoral teams to achieve the aim of collaborative governance.

The Winter Workshop offers an afternoon of interaction for public sector digital health leaders, with active goal-oriented breakout working sessions preceded by a hot topic conversation with subject matter experts and health leaders. Public sector leaders from across the country are invited to gather at the Winter Workshop to lay the groundwork for a national discussion on topics that matter to Canadian health. A limited number of tickets will be available for private sector leaders/vendors.

2023 session topics:

• Public health policy shifts and opportunities enabled by digital and data
• Public health data and surveillance (data privacy)
