The document proposes a Navigator Project to help integrate internationally educated health professionals (IEHPs) into health professions in Ontario. It notes labor shortages in health professions and barriers IEHPs face. The project would pilot CAPE's talent integration process, which identifies competency gaps, and uses gap-driven training and workforce mapping to help IEHPs transition into roles. The process was successful for engineers and could strengthen integration of IEHPs and provide workforce data. Stakeholders supported piloting it for select health professions.
Determinants of Strategic Implementation of Devolved Health Services in Trans...paperpublications3
Abstract: Many organizations, including those in the public health sector, are experiencing and managing change which may be either planned or emergent. The performance of Trans Nzoia County has been reproached particularly in the wake of go-slows and strikes of the health labour force in recent times. The broad objective of the study was to assess the factors influencing the strategic implementation of devolved health services in Trans Nzoia County. The study was guided by the following specific objectives: To establish the effect of budgetary support on strategic implementation of health services, to examine the effect of health policy on strategic implementation of health services, to determine the effect of health legislation on strategic implementation of health services, and to determine how management support affects strategic implementation of health services. The study was guided by both Ansoffian theory and management theory. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. The target population was the 1240 employees working with Trans Nzoia County. A sample of 89 respondents was drawn from the target population using stratified random sampling method. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The instrument was pilot tested before its use to collect data for the main study. The study assessed both validity and reliability of the instrument. The collected data was processed and analyzed with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social software. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicated that budgetary support has a positive significant effect on strategic implementation of health services. Health policy had a significant positive effect on strategic implementation of health services. The study found a positive significant effect of health legislation on strategic implementation of health services in Trans Nzoia County. Management support had a positive and significant effect on strategic implementation of health services in Trans Nzoia County. It was therefore concluded that budgetary support, health policy, legislation on health care, and management support what are the factors that determine strategic implementation of devolved healthcare services.
Keywords: Budgetary support, health policy, legislative process, management support and strategic implementation.

This document summarizes a study on health workforce retention initiatives in Ethiopia. It finds that:
1) There are policies and strategic plans for retention at the national and sub-national levels, though implementation varies. Financial incentives like professional allowances are common, though eligibility varies by region and facility.
2) Common financial incentives include professional allowances for specialists, general practitioners, midwives, and others. Rates vary significantly between regions and facilities. Positional allowances are also used but eligibility differs in each location.
3) Non-financial incentives are also used but to a lesser extent. Overall there is variation in retention schemes between locations within the country. The report recommends standardizing and regularly updating policies
This summarizes a document about examining the queuing system at the consultation rooms and surgical units of The Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. The study found that using all 11 consultation rooms instead of 8 reduced the average waiting time to almost zero. It was concluded that employing more surgeons would improve efficiency and economical operation of the hospital. Previous studies on queuing systems and appointment scheduling were also reviewed.
Strengthening Primary Care Through Performance - Based Incentive SystemHFG Project
The document summarizes the findings from two cycles of research on Indonesia's primary care incentive system under its national health insurance program. The research found that:
1) Health workers' incomes come from various sources, including government salary, capitation payments, regional allowances, and private practice, but the capitation system does not adequately motivate individual performance.
2) There is wide variation in health workers' incomes between districts and facilities based on local policies and patient volumes.
3) While incentive systems exist, they are often based more on attendance and processes rather than quality metrics or achievement of health targets. Respondents recommended revising incentives and indicators to better promote quality primary care performance.

Entry Point Mapping: A Tool to Promote Civil Society Engagement on Health Fin...HFG Project
ivil society organizations (CSOs), particularly those working in the health sector, frequently seek opportunities to influence public health policy or share feedback on the quality or accessibility of health services. While these organizations may have important contributions to make, they often are not aware of the most effective and accessible entry points to use. Entry Point Mapping provides a methodology for systemic review and identification of mechanisms, forums and public platforms by which civil society organizations can participate in health sector policy formulation, program implementation, and oversight.
This paper presents an Entry Point Mapping Tool designed for CSOs with advocacy experience and public health officials seeking to expand civil society participation and contains a step-by-step guide for researching and analyzing legal entry points for civil society participation in governance of public health care facilities. Because CSOs have varied interests, the tool includes a series of steps for individual CSOs to determine the level of government at which to pursue their specific advocacy interest and the process of collecting targeted information on legally required points of entry for their civic engagement.
In addition, the Entry Point Mapping Tool offers guidance on analyzing the effectiveness on these entry points and coaches CSOs through the negotiation process of activating or expanding existing entry points, creating new ones, and winning overall collaboration with health officials on improving health policy and service delivery. This tool also documents the experience of CSOs implementing the entry point mapping methodology in Bangladesh and Cote d’Ivoire to demonstrate how the tool can promote increased civil society engagement on issues of health finance and governance.

The document summarizes the steps taken to design a double-page spread for a student publication. It describes placing an image on the right page to cover 50% of the space, and adding a title in black and white colors for visual appeal. Lines were added to separate the text into three columns for readability, and a bold colored line was used for the subheading to help navigation. A quote was placed below the image rather than over it to allow the image to stand out, with important words highlighted in black and a larger font. The final layout included the article text in the publication's house font for consistency.

The document summarizes the key findings from a benefits realization study conducted by PwC on the use of electronic medical records (EMRs) in primary care settings in Ontario. Through case studies of six high performing clinics, the study found benefits such as 50% faster lab result turnaround times, nearly immediate access to discharge summaries, and referrals sent to specialists in under 1 day. Provider surveys showed strong agreement that EMRs improve areas like chronic disease management, preventative care, and practice efficiencies. The study modeled potential province-wide benefits if all Ontario providers achieved results similar to the case studies, estimating annual financial benefits of $125 million from improved diabetes management alone.
The document examines the effects of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks on service delivery in the health sector in Uganda, using Marie Stopes Uganda as a case study. It finds that M&E frameworks that include well-defined principles, resources, and M&E plans have a positive effect on service delivery, though program outputs alone do not. However, the study was limited to northern Uganda and generalizing the findings to the entire country was difficult. It recommends that Marie Stopes Uganda strengthen its M&E principles, resources, plans, and output definitions to improve service delivery.

Announcement
Crossing the Quality Chasm: The IOM Health Care Quality Initiative
In 1996, after releasing America's Health in Transition: Protecting and Improving Quality, the IOM launched a concerted, ongoing effort focused on assessing and improving the nation's quality of care.
The first phase of this Quality Initiative documented the serious and pervasive nature of the nation's overall quality problem, concluding that "the burden of harm conveyed by the collective impact of all of our health care quality problems is staggering" (Chassen et al., 1998).
IOM Definition of Quality
The degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge.
This phase built on an intensive review of the literature conducted by RAND to understand the scope of this issue (Schuster) and a framework was established that defined the nature of the problem as one of overuse, misuse and underuse of health care services (Chassen et al). More specifically, the report Ensuring Quality Cancer Care (1999) documented the wide gulf that exists between ideal cancer care and the reality many Americans with cancer experience.
During the second phase, spanning 1999-2001, the Committee on Quality of Health Care in America, laid out a vision for how the health care system and related policy environment must be radically transformed in order to close the chasm between what we know to be good quality care and what actually exists in practice. The reports released during this phase—To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System(1999) and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century(2001)—stress that reform around the margins is inadequate to address system ills.
The series of IOM quality reports have included a number of metrics that illustrate how wide the quality chasm is and how important it is to close this gulf, between what we know is good quality care and what the norm is in practice.
To Err is Human put the spotlight on how tens of thousands of Americans die each year from medical errors and effectively put the issue of patient safety and quality on the radar screen of public and private policymakers. The Quality Chasm report described broader quality issues and defines six aims—care should be safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable—and 10 rules for care delivery redesign.
Phase three of the IOM's Quality Initiative focuses on operationalizing the vision of a future health system described in the Quality Chasm report.

INFLUENCE OF HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDER COMPETENCY ON UTILIZATION OF UNIVERSAL H...Premier Publishers
This study assessed the influence of healthcare provider competency on universal health coverage utilization in Seme Sub-County, Kenya. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a sample of 377 community members and 8 health facility managers. Logistic regression found that healthcare provider competency statistically influenced utilization of universal health coverage. Respondents who perceived that providers had adequate health knowledge were over twice as likely to use universal health coverage services. Those who experienced misdiagnosis were half as likely to solely rely on universal health coverage. Most respondents agreed that providers had sufficient knowledge, though some raised concerns about competency in pharmacy departments due to staffing shortages. In conclusion, healthcare provider competency levels significantly impact utilization of universal health coverage.
Collaborated with the Mayo Clinic's Centre for Innovation on a team project to envision a 2035 future for specialized healthcare providers.

Designed strategies to influence a positive future and mitigate against negative outcomes. The final report was used by the clinic as an innovation input for their multi-year strategic planning activities.
This document is a report for a project to open a comprehensive satellite clinic in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. It provides background on the need for additional health services in the rural county, which only has one 25-bed hospital. An assessment finds that internal and external stakeholders support the project. A market analysis shows high rates of diseases and health issues among the county's aging population. A SWOT analysis identifies strengths like improving access to care, and weaknesses like the large upfront costs. The report recommends proceeding with the project to address unmet health needs in the community.
This document summarizes the ethical issues surrounding Canada's recruitment of internationally educated health professionals (IEHPs). It notes that while IEHPs have always played an important role in Canada's health system, recent waves have come from developing countries in Africa and Asia. These source countries are concerned about losing skilled professionals. The document outlines some of the complex factors around health professional migration, including individual rights to mobility as well as the investments and needs of source countries. It argues that Canada needs principles and policies to guide ethical recruitment while also addressing domestic shortages. Overall, the document examines the challenges of developing ethical recruitment policies that balance the needs and perspectives of multiple stakeholders.

The document analyzes factors that contribute to the slow adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) in Bangladesh's healthcare sectors. It surveys staff and patients at three hospitals - Popular Medical College Hospital, Anwar Khan Modern Medical College Hospital, and United Hospital Ltd. The surveys found that:
1) All respondents said their organizations use ICT, primarily for billing systems.
2) All respondents wanted to introduce additional healthcare information systems in the near future.
3) Most respondents agreed that investment in ICT is important, but some felt initial investment costs are very high.
The document uses the survey findings to identify barriers to and opportunities for greater ICT adoption in Bangladesh's healthcare industry.
1) Ontario's wait time strategy focused on setting targets in priority areas like cancer surgery, hip replacements, and MRIs to increase access to care.
2) The strategy has been successful, with Ontario meeting over 90% of its wait time targets and receiving an "A" grade on wait times.
3) Public reporting of wait time data through Ontario's wait time website provides accountability and transparency into how the health system is performing.
This document discusses the history and development of nursing informatics in Canada from the 1990s onwards. It highlights several key initiatives and milestones:
1) The Canadian Nurses' Association recognized the need for nursing data to be included in the national health information system in the early 1990s.
2) In 1998, a national steering committee was formed to address nursing informatics issues and develop strategies to ensure nurses have the necessary competencies.
3) The National Nursing Informatics Project worked to develop a national consensus on definitions, competencies, and education priorities in nursing informatics.
This document discusses eHealth in Thailand and the road ahead. It summarizes that eHealth adoption in Thailand is high but siloed, with a lack of integration and interoperability. Standards development is underway but incomplete. The road ahead involves addressing gaps in national leadership, workforce shortages, accelerating standards development, integrating applications, and growing local informatics research. Overall eHealth can be a key component of Thailand's healthcare system if these challenges are addressed.
This document summarizes a post-training follow-up assessment conducted in Kenya in 2013. The assessment aimed to evaluate how health workers applied knowledge and skills from trainings funded by USAID into their work, and identify any barriers. A total of 282 health workers who received training in 2012 were interviewed. The assessment found that after training, the number of health workers offering services increased, as did the daily number of patients seen. Supervisors also reported improvements in quality of services delivered. However, health workers still faced challenges like lack of supplies and staff rotations. The report provides recommendations to address challenges and better support health workers after training.

Major outcomes included enhanced online training, local health profiles and disease models, tools for health impact assessments, and a public health portal. The programme was delivered on time and under budget through collaborative working groups and oversight from a steering committee representing key stakeholders.
The Canadian Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (CCR2P) is inviting Sergy Kasyanov to join their R2P Scholars Network as a Senior Fellow for 2015-2016. The CCR2P is a leading Canadian think-tank that promotes the R2P principle through research and advocacy. As a Senior Fellow, Kasyanov would connect with other researchers and mentor junior fellows, contributing their experience in public policy and working with NGOs without formal obligations. The CCR2P believes Kasyanov's expertise in Ukraine would benefit their analysis of how Russia has applied R2P in that conflict.
CAPE has entered a new phase focused on becoming fully virtualized and transitioning to the Council for Advancement of Professions (CAP) in order to support a diverse, technology-driven, multi-disciplinary professional environment. CAPE's efforts to help immigrants find engineering jobs have been successful, with unemployment dropping while employment in and outside engineering has increased. However, financial sustainability remains an issue. CAPE is expanding its services to other professions and launched a project to help internationally educated health professionals find jobs in Ontario.

physicians in southwestern Ontario to compare the individual and practice characteristics of IMGs and
CMGs in the region, the researchers recommended that policies to increase numbers of family physicians
through immigration take these differences into account. While limited information is available on
physicians and nurses, even less information exists for the other 26 regulated health professions.
In 2010, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care commissioned an Independent Review of Access to
Postgraduate Programs by IMGs in Ontario. This was undertaken by George Thomson and Karen Cohl.
During consultations with this commission, on March 9, 2011, the Association of International Physicians
and Surgeons (AIPSO) with support from CAPE Council for Access to the Profession of Engineering
made a submission. CAPE presented the need for a competency “gaps” driven selection process for IMGs
and other IEHPs to this commission based on its research over six years. Subsequently, in its 2011 report
this commission presented its vision of fairness recommending ‘Alternative routes for experienced IMGs
to enter practice where completion of a full residency program is not warranted’ through a ‘six-month
practice ready assessment including a training component targeted to specific gaps in the physician’s
experience and knowledge, entitling the physician to obtain a restricted license.’7
A recent review of Canadian and international literature by CAPE reveals that in addition to recruiting
immigrants from regulated health professions a significant Health Human Resources (HHR) trend is
towards substitution strategies and expanded scope of practice for selected health care providers.
Adopting a substitution strategy the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, in partnership with
the Ontario Medical Association and the Ontario Hospital Association introduced the role of the
Physician Assistant (PA) to the Ontario health care system in 20088
. A physician assistant (PA) is an
unregulated health- care provider who, under the supervision and delegation of a physician, can perform
such acts as to: take client histories, conduct physical examinations, write orders, interpret test results,
diagnose and treat illness, counsel on preventive health care, write prescriptions and assist during surgery.
Other HHR trends include shared care services; use of multidisciplinary teams to deliver primary health
care (PHC) services; and tele-health and telemedicine all calling for a change in HHR skill-sets.
1.2.Rationale for Proposed Navigator Project for Selected Health Professions
Since 2006 CAPE has undertaken research on a competency “gaps” driven employment preparation and
training model for Immigrants with Engineering Backgrounds (IEBs) under its Skills Commensurate
Engineering Access and Leveraging Global Engineering Skills Projects. Both these OLMP projects were
funded by the Ministry of training Colleges and Universities (MTCU). Through these CAPE developed a
talent integration process to support its membership of over 3700 IEBS and immigrants with other
professional backgrounds to transition into meaningful employment in Ontario. This talent integration
process is premised on five core processes:
Sector-specific stakeholder collaboration;
Competencies and requirements profiling and matching to establish skills gaps;
Real-time labor market reporting and predictive workforce planning ;
Gaps-driven employment preparation and training; and
Workforce mapping.

criteria outlined for Labor Market Partnerships to enable
IEHPs, trainers and employers “to understand their
capacity for dealing with human resource requirements
and implement labor force adjustments.” The approach
to this project will be to adapt the CAPE Talent
Integration Process as shown on the right, based on
previous research (outlined below):
2003-2006: CAPE Engineering Access community
action project under the trusteeship of the Council
of Agencies serving South Asians (CASSA)
resulting in:
An environmental scan to identify engineering
stakeholders
Documentation of issues of access facing Immigrants
with Engineering Backgrounds (IEBs)
Community outreach and coalition building
Constructive engagement of sector stakeholders through
a series of structured multi-stakeholder roundtables
Employer/regulator engagement to determine
competency frameworks and demand
Database of competencies of IEBs (supply-side data)
2006-2008: Skills Commensurate Engineering Access
(An OLMP Project funded by the Ministry of Training

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1. Project Objective
The primary objective of the Navigator Project which will focus on IEHPs who have applied for or are in
the process of applying for a license and/or are still seeking employment is to replicate the CAPE talent
integration process to:
i. Capture IEHP skills and competencies in Ontario and match these to job requirements and
benchmarked entry to practice competencies in real time
ii. Ensure that employment preparation and training for this group of health providers is
evidenced based and competency gaps driven.
iii. Utilize real-time labour market intelligence generated for HHR development in Ontario
3.2. Selection of Participating Professions
3.2.1. Stakeholder Feedback and Selection Criteria
Appendix B details stakeholder feedback for this project. Summarized briefly, the feedback from the
stakeholders called for the pilot required that this:
cover multiple health professions
include allied health professions to move focus from doctors and nurses
focus on new/substituted roles and internationally educated professionals
engage with employers and;
include at least one ‘gaps’ driven curricula development pilot
Stakeholder criteria for selection of participating professions for this project included the size of the
professional workforce, the pre-requisite of a competencies framework for the profession, access to a
database of health providers in the selected professions and the willingness of the stakeholders in the
profession to participate in the pilot. Based on these criteria outlined above and the stakeholder analysis
contained in Appendix C the groups of health professionals identified for selection for the pilot navigator
project include Nurses, Physicians, Audiologists and Speech language Pathologists, Medical Laboratory
Technicians, Medical Radiation Technologists, Occupational Therapists and Dieticians.

*Interested in future phase of the pilot
The regulator for the profession of audiology and speech language pathology as well as the Ontario
Society of Medical Laboratory Technologists have committed to participating in the pilot. Unfortunately,
the regulator for the medical laboratory technologists did not participate in the environmental scan.
Our attention was drawn to the new/substituted role of Physician Assistants by a stakeholder. This is not a
regulated role as yet and so does not require the participation of the College of Physicians and Surgeons
of Ontario (CPSO), the regulator for physicians. As seen from table 1, internationally educated physicians
and surgeons, is clearly the group of IEHPs that face the most complicated and difficult path to accessing
their profession in Ontario. The physician assistant role offers an opportunity for IMGs to enter their
professional field. The Ontario Hospital Association and Ontario Medical Association have taken the lead
in developing this new/substituted role for physicians and both these stakeholders have also expressed
interest in participating in the advisory committee for the proposed pilot project. Further Skills for
Change is currently running a bridging program for internationally trained Doctors and has expressed an
interest in integrating the CAPE curricula development process into this program.
Accordingly for this pilot project the following will be the selected professions for the initial Navigator
Project:
a. A physician pilot focusing on new/substituted roles as physician assistants (PAs) and IMG skills
and competencies using the Ontario Physician Assistant Competency Profile and Scope of
Practice Statement for benchmarking competencies
b. The College of Audiologists and Speech Language Pathologists (CASLPO) regulator led talent
integration pilot for audiologists and speech language pathologists using the detailed Preferred
Practice Guidelines of (CASLPO)
Based on commitments that are expected to come in the future from the College of Dietitians of Ontario
and the Ontario Society of Medical Laboratory technologists, these may be included in a future phase of
the pilot Navigator Project.

11. SUSTAINABILITY
The CAPE talent integration process completed over six years of research is currently being sustained and
developed by service providing organizations as well as educational institutions among others using a fee-
for-service subscription charges for cost-recovery basis. During our engagement with the health sector
stakeholders in the environmental scan, they were informed that the same model will be adopted for the
outputs from the Navigator Project for Selected Health Professions. Thus, while they will benefit from
the adaptation of the CAPE talent integration process to their specific needs under the proposed pilot, the
stakeholders will be responsible for sustaining the process on a fee-for-service basis beyond the end of
this project.

considered
Geographical dimensions
Technical support
Adaptation for self-employed
Pan Canadian application
4. Conceptual framework for Pilot application to selected
health professions:
a. Profession Specific pilots
i. Given that focus has largely been on
physicians and nurses, profession
specific piloting should focus on
smaller professions
ii. A well developed and adopted
competencies framework will be a
pre-requisite for the profession chosen
iii. Stakeholder interest should be
leveraged
b. A Multi-profession Pilot should also be
undertaken
i. This should be driven by employers
ii. Include locum Locator
iii. Extended to include self-employed
practitioners
iv. Should include geographical context
v. Should create a competencies
forum/clearing house
vi. Intensify stakeholder engagement and
outreach to practitioners and
employers
vii. Validate impact of integrated multi-
profession approach
c. Training and Education pilot should also be
undertaken focusing on the internationally
trained pools of health professionals
i. Focus on Expansion/substitution of
roles for physicians, surgeons and
nurses.
ii. Integrate database on competencies
and skills of internationally educated
and trained physicians, surgeons and
nurses.
iii. Capitalize on internationally trained
segment of the labour market
iv. Engage with Bridge training partners
for Gaps-driven training
