- 42. 42 Who are we working with? Seniors who have had a stroke and are returning to their community. What are we doing? We’re offering a Stroke Navigation service. Stroke Navigators provide stroke-related education, support recovery plans, provide resources for managing stroke, connect individuals to relevant services, and offer strategies to navigate the healthcare system. Why are we doing this? The transition from the hospital to the community is consistently stated as a major challenge by both stroke patients and their care partners. Stroke Navigation helps individuals who have had a stroke to adjust to life back in the community. Stroke Navigation is aligned with best practice care. Before this service, there was a gap in care. Beverly Kemp (bkemp@hsf.nb.ca)

While our project is still in the early stages of data collection, other projects have shown that with Stroke Navigation… • Self management of stroke improves • Recovery support improves • Better compliance with healthcare plans • Rehospitalization is avoided “Being connected with a Stroke Navigator was beyond helpful for me. Having that one person as a contact to guide you and to give you advice, for me, that was the most helpful.” “Thank you for all the information and support– it helps as I sort my way through all of this. I am not sure how people were managing on their own prior to the program.”

Editor's Notes
- Candice: Hello everyone and welcome to the first Healthy Seniors Pilot Project Showcase. Bonjour à tous et bienvenue à la première Vitrine du Projet Pilote sur les Aines en Sante. My name is Candice Pollack, and I will be your moderator today. Je m’appelle Candice Pollack et je serai votre moderatrice aujourd’hui. Before we begin, we would like to respectfully acknowledge that UNB stands on the unsurrendered and unceded traditional Wolastoqey (WOOL-US-TOOK-WAY) land. The lands of Wabanaki (WAH-BAH-NAH-KEE) people are recognized in a series of Peace and Friendship Treaties to establish an ongoing relationship of peace, friendship and mutual respect between equal nations. The river that runs by UNB is known as Wolastoq (WOOL-LUSS-TOOK), along which live Wolastoqiyik (WOOL-US-TOO-GWEEG) – the people of the beautiful and bountiful river. Wolastoq (WOOL-LUSS-TOOK) is also called the St. John River. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land today. I would also like to acknowledge that virtual participants are gathered on many sacred lands and traditional territories, so we encourage you to reflect on the land on which you’re located, and to consider your relationship to the land and to the people who are the traditional keepers of that land in a moment of silence. On vous encourage de participer dans notre session aujourd’hui dans la langue officielle de votre choix. La traduction simultanée est disponible et vous pouvez y accéder en cliquant sur l’icône d’interprétation et en sélectionnant la langue de votre choix. L’icône est généralement accessible au bas de l’écran et ressemble à un globe terrestre. We encourage you to participate in today’s Showcase in the official language of your choice. Simultaneous interpretation for the session is available in both English or French. To access simultaneous interpretation, please click on the globe symbol to the bottom right of your zoom screen and select the language of your choice. Now that we have covered how to access simultaneous interpretation, let’s get started with the Showcase. The Healthy Seniors Pilot Project is a partnership project between the Government of New Brunswick’s Department of Social Development, the Department of Health, and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Today’s session is hosted by the Monitoring, Evaluation and Knowledge Transfer Unit (or MEKTU), with New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training, housed at UNB. Created in 2018, MEKTU is a partnership between NB-IRDT and the Government of New Brunswick that was developed to support the evaluation and knowledge transfer components of HSPP. J’aimerais aussi vous partager quelques points administratifs avant commencer les presentations: Vous devriez tous avoir reçu les contenus préalables à la Vitrine. Si vous avez une question technique, n’hésitez pas à consulter la fiche d’astuces pour Zoom, ou à envoyer un message à April English dans le chat. Vous pouvez aussi suivre la Vitrine à partir de l’ordre du jour et des documents partager en avance comme contenus prealables. Vous remarquerez que votre microphone a été mis en mode sourdine. Cette disposition sert à réduire le bruit et les interruptions. However, we do encourage everyone to ask questions and share their comments. You can communicate with the speakers and other participants by using the chat box to ask your questions or share your thoughts. We will do our best to share your questions and comments with presenters during the Q&A periods. Our team will also be writing questions in the chat box to engage you all to join in on the conversations. Please keep an eye out for discussions happening in the chat and take the time to participate in the conversation if you would like to. Everyone is encouraged to keep their video on for the duration of today, to increase social connectedness. Lastly, please note that this meeting will be recorded. You will have access to the presentation slides, along with other post-meeting materials – which will be emailed to you after the showcase. We will also be sending you an evaluation survey so you can tell MEKTU how we did today and share with us your insight for future showcases.
- Candice: Now that we have covered the housekeeping items, let’s set the stage for today’s Showcase. In 2016, in New Brunswick, 22% of the population was 65 years and older. Statistics Canada data suggest that the proportion of individuals over the age of 65 will continue to increase in the coming years. As we age, New Brunswickers will face new challenges to living safely and independently at home and in their communities. Their overall health and mobility may decline from chronic illness or natural changes associated with aging. They may require support for activities of daily living that they used to be able to do on their own like getting groceries, bathing, and preparing meals. Staying connected and engaged within their communities may become more difficult due to limited transportation or accessibility of our built environments. New Brunswick needs evidence-informed solutions to address these challenges and support our aging population to remain healthy and safe so that they can age in the place of their choosing. Et le Projet Pilote sur les Aines en Sante modèle l’avenir du vieillissement en santé.
- Candice: The Healthy Seniors Pilot project was developed to support a range of applied research initiatives to examine how governments can better support seniors in their homes, communities, and care facilities. Les projets du PPAS visent a relever les défis auxquels nos aînés sont confrontés comme la mauvaise santé physique, l’épuisement des aidants naturels et l’usage inutile de médicaments, entre autres.
- Candice: HSPP began with a $75 million investment by the Public Health Agency of Canada, in agreement with the Government of New Brunswick. Its goal was to help lay the groundwork for the dissemination of evidenced-based best practices to support healthy aging for New Brunswickers and older adults in the rest of Canada. Because of New Brunswick's high proportion of those over the age of 65, our province is an ideal environment in which to promote innovative approaches to support seniors and healthy aging. The Pilot Projects undertaken through HSPP will help us better understand: - the impacts of aging on our population. the different challenges that women and men face as they age. How we can support individual seniors to maintain independence and a healthy lifestyle. Through our Showcase today, we hope to raise awareness and share initial findings from these applied research projects, currently happening across New Brunswick and the rest of Canada – to help shape the future of healthy aging.
- Candice: À date, le PPAS a investi dans 39 projets gouvernementaux et communautaires. Chaque projet a pour but de relever un ou plusieurs defis auxquels les Neo-brunswickois ages font face. Ces défis peuvent être répartis dans cinq domaines distincts et interreliés: Améliorer les environnements sociaux et construits pour favoriser le vieillissement en santé Accroître l’indépendance, améliorer la qualité de vie et promouvoir des habitudes de vie saines Recourir aux approches communautaires pour réduire les inégalités en santé Recourir aux technologies d’aide pour favoriser un vieillissement en santé à domicile et dans nos communautés Créer des parcours de soins novateurs L’ordre du jour aujourd’hui suivera ces cinq domaines. Il y aura deux presentateurs qui parleront a chacun des secteurs d’interventions du PPAS. Chaque présentateur aura 5 minutes pour présenter brièvement son projet. Les deux presentations seront suivi par une periode de question et reponse ou vous aurez la chance de poser vos questions concernant leur projets. We are joined today by government, service providers, seniors, researchers, research funders, community members - so we hope to have a robust conversation, focusing on world-class research, conducted right here in the province of NB. Remember: there are 13 minutes dedicated for audience questions after each focus area. Feel free to type your questions in the chat box located to the right here at any time and our team will aim to address all questions during the Q&A period. We also have a graphic recorder joining us for the Showcase today. Rachel Derrah will be capturing our discussions through visual artwork and will give us a sneak peak of what she has captured during our first break. Her completed artwork will be sent out with the post-event materials in the coming weeks.
- Candice: La premiere domaine du Vitrine PPAS examinent la conception des espaces, des systèmes et des infrastructures pour permettre aux aînés de vivre de façon autonome et en santé. Cela comprend les huit elements suivants d’une collectivité conviviale pour les personnes d’un certain âge; Espaces extérieurs et édifices Transport Logement Participation sociale Respect et inclusion sociale Participation civique et emploi Communication et information Services communautaires et services en santé Le PPAS inclus plusieurs projets qui ont comme but d’ameliorer les environnements sociaux et construits du Nouveau-Brunswick pour mieux supporter les ainés a participer activement dans leurs communautés. Je passe la parole a Mme Suzanne Dupuis-Blanchard pour nous introduire la premiere projet du Vitrine: Les maisons de soins infirmiers sans murs.

- Candice: QUESTION to start us off The WHO recently came out with a report that indicates that globally, 1 in 2 people are ageist against older persons. Can you share with us your thoughts on how our communities can combat ageism in the way we construct our future social and built environments?
- Candice: The next domain we will explore in the Showcase focuses on increasing independence, quality of life, and promoting healthy lifestyles for older adults. Some of the applied research projects within this theme examine the provision and promotion of activities that deal with physical health, nutrition, injury prevention, and mental wellness, as well as programs aimed at training and supporting unpaid caregivers. Our next speakers, Anita Punamiya and Danielle Bouchard, will share with us two projects that focus on participatory arts and physical activity for older adults respectively. I’ll hand the floor over to Anita to tell us more about Participatory Arts for Older Adults.

Can you tell us more about any steps you have taken in your projects to ensure accessibility for older adults who live with physical or cognitive disabilities?
- Candice: We have made it to our 5 minute break. Stand up, stretch, grab some water, head for a bathroom break. If you do stick around, as previously mentioned, our graphic recorder, Rachel, is now going to pop on here to provide us with a sneak peak of what she has so far, for capturing our discussions. Graphic recorder: (talking)
- Candice: Welcome back everyone and thank you for sticking with us for today’s Showcase. Let’s jump right into our next domain: Using community approaches to reduce health inequalities. Programs that focus on reducing health inequalities focus on promoting awareness of healthy choices, access to health & social services, or resources for language or cultural minority communities, people living in rural or remote areas, and Indigenous Peoples. Other examples of HSPP projects examining health inequalities include: developing innovative approaches to mitigating the impacts of sensory impairment on social inclusion or examining new opportunities to support and enable unpaid caregivers who identify as women. Our first presenter, Kate Ellis, will tell us more about the HSPP project: Hearing Equity through Accessible Research and Solutions. Over to you Kate.

- Candice: Trouver le bon équilibre entre les approches au niveau du système et les solutions personnalisées peut être difficile. Ces deux initiatives visent à répondre aux besoins individuels des personnes âgées tout en développant une solution généralisée qui peut être adoptée et mise à l'échelle. Quelles leçons avez-vous apprises sur la fourniture de soutiens personnalisés à un large groupe de population avec de nombreux objectifs, aspirations et défis différents ? Finding the right balance between system-level approaches and individually-tailored solutions can be challenging. Both of these initiatives aim to meet the individual needs of seniors while developing a widespread solution that can be adopted and scaled. What lessons have you learned about providing tailored supports to a broad population group with many different goals, aspirations, and challenges?
- Candice: La prochaine domaine examine l’intégration des technologies emergentes avec les services sociaux et les services de santé pour les ainés et leurs proches-aidantes. Ces projets peuvent inclure les modification domiciliaires, des équipement adapté, etc. ainsi que des integrations technologiques dans des etablissements de soins de santé comme les hopitals et le institutions de soins de longue durée. Les deux projets que nous examineront davantage aujourd’hui sont: le plateforme technologique pour l’evaluation proactive de la santé des ainés et la diffusion et mise à niveau d’une application polypharmaceutique visant a ameliorer les resultats des traitements prodigués aux personnes agées. Erik, I’m handing the floor over to you to start us off.

- Candice Technology-enabled platforms for monitoring health can have an important role in prevention of adverse health events. However, not all seniors have equal access to home support services, and some seniors who would benefit from health monitoring may not need home support services yet. How can your project be expanded and scaled to train older adults and their unpaid caregivers to use home health monitoring technologies?
- Candice: The final HSPP domain that will be explored at today’s Showcase is the innovative delivery of health and social support services through improved care pathways. The projects within this domain focus on increasing seniors’ and their families’ awareness of programs and services to better direct them to the appropriate supports and level of care. The two projects we will be hearing from are Stroke Navigation New Brunswick and the Innovative and Community Partnered Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Seniors in New Brunswick projects. Beverly, please get us started by telling us more about your proof of concept initiative.
