The Champlain Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Strategy
1
The Champlain Cardiovascular Disease
Prevention Network is committed to
leading the way in Ontario with new
standards for the prevention and
management of cardiovascular disease
(CVD). It is my pleasure to share with you the 2010-11
Annual Report for the Network. We are proud of the
significant accomplishments that have resulted since the
launch of the Champlain CVD Prevention Strategy in
2007. We have successfully introduced in hospitals across
the region state-of-the-art prevention programs and are
showing measurable results in regards to health care
excellence. Similarly, evidence-based programs are now
in place in primary care settings across the region and
strategic investments have been made in two upstream
prevention initiatives to ensure our residents – both young
and old – reduce their risk for CVD. In a concerted and
combined effort, the school system, the health system,
and community organizations are all working to make our
region one of the healthiest in the province. I would like to
personally acknowledge the efforts of leaders from across
the Champlain District for your work in improving the
quality of programs and services in the Champlain region.
Sincerely,
Andrew Pipe, CM, MD
Chair, Champlain CVD Prevention Network
Medical Director, Minto Prevention and Rehabilitation
Centre, University of Ottawa Heart Institute
The Champlain LHIN has been a
proud partner of the Champlain CVD
Prevention Network during the past
several years. The LHIN helps to bring
providers and communities together to
benefit patients, and our support of the Network is a good
example of this. We continued our commitment in 2010-
11 to support leading-edge initiatives that are improving
the health of our community and performance of the
health system. Programs directed toward reducing smoking
rates, preventing high blood pressure, and increasing good
nutrition and activity habits in children and youth are key
factors in the creation of a healthier population. Significant
quality improvements in CVD prevention - both in primary
care settings and in hospitals - are also being accomplished.
Certainly, it is this type of preventive approach that has
the most impact in bringing about real change in health
care. The CCPN is building a better system of best practice
in CVD prevention and management, and all partners
involved are playing an important role in advancing these
improvements across our region. Your hard work, your
enthusiasm, and your innovation are appreciated.

THE COST OF CVD TO THE
CHAMPLAIN DISTRICT IS
ENORMOUS.
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (CVD) is the number one
cost driver to our health care system.
$7.6 billion is spent annually in Ontario on the treatment of CVD.
CVD accounts for the largest proportion of health care spending in Ontario
including 20% of acute care hospital costs, 15% of home care, 10.5% of
emergency room visits, 10% of medical services, and 17% of drug expenditures.
CVD is the leading cause of death and disability
in Canada, Ontario, and the Champlain region.
Approximately 40,000 Canadians, 26,000 Ontarians, and 2,600 Champlain
residents die each year of CVD.
More than 90,000 Champlain residents are living with CVD.
8 in 10 Ontarians are living with one or more cardiovascular risk factors.
Several Champlain communities have among
the highest rates of CVD in the province.
Renfrew County, Eastern Ontario (Prescott & Russell), and Leeds, Grenville &
Lanark Counties are three of Ontario’s “hot spots” for CVD.
These regions experience rates of CVD morbidity and mortality which are
significantly higher than both the City of Ottawa and the provincial average.
The economic impact of CVD will continue to
grow and threatens the sustainability of our
health care system.
The number of deaths caused by CVD is expected to double by 2018 as a result
of an aging demographic, population growth, and increasing prevalence of CVD
risk factors.
Ontario is currently spending $46.1 billion per year on health care, representing
46% of all spending, which has increased by $17 billion per year since 2003.
If the rate of health care spending is not curbed, it will represent 70% of all
program spending in Ontario within 12 years.

DEMONSTRATING
PROVINCIAL LEADERSHIP
IN CHRONIC DISEASE
PREVENTION &
MANAGEMENT
Through the implementation of an integrated, regional CVD prevention and
management strategy, the Champlain region is actively contributing to the
province’s commitment to reduce the burden of chronic disease, helping to
transform the health system at the local level and better serve Ontarians. The
CCPN has already made great strides in bridging the silos between health and
community partners which previously limited the ability to successfully address
chronic disease prevention and management in a unified manner.
THE CHAMPLAIN CVD PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT
STRATEGY
The Champlain CVD Prevention and Management Strategy was developed in
response to the growing necessity to establish an integrated, coordinated, and
comprehensive approach to preventing and managing CVD. The Champlain
CVD Strategy is a five-year plan designed to eliminate disparities in CVD health
and make the residents of the Champlain region the most heart healthy and
stroke-free in Canada.
Implementation of the Strategy has been led by a multi-sectoral group of
dedicated partners, known as the Champlain CVD Prevention Network (CCPN).
The CCPN was formed in November 2005 and includes partners from public
health, specialty (cardiac and stroke) care, primary care, hospitals, academia,
and the community who are committed to a common vision and goals.
The Strategy is focused on the implementation of six large-scale, population-level
priority initiatives. The six initiatives are the building blocks for a comprehensive
CVD prevention and management system.
“ Change requires our best
collaborative efforts to
create, apply, and sustain
multiple strategies. Many
actors must work together
on comprehensive and
coordinated policies and
programs. The complexity
of the interrelationships
between the factors
affecting health means
that broad involvement
is required across
sectors and at all levels
of society to create an
integrated approach.”
 - Improving the Health
of Canadians, Canadian
Institute for Health
Information (2004)
Our Vision: To develop an
integrated system of excellence in
CVD prevention for the Champlain
region that acts as a model for
Ontario and Canada.
Our Mission: To implement
unified approaches to reduce the
burden of CVD in the Champlain region,
spanning the continuum of healthy
persons to those with sub-clinical and
known disease. The CCPN will act
to mobilize and integrate partners in
public health, community, primary
care, institutional sectors, academia,
and industry to eliminate disparities in
CVD risk and ensure the citizens of the
Champlain region are the most heart
healthy and stroke-free in Canada.
Evidence-based strategies for CVD prevention and
management are already well established and have
been proven to be highly cost-effective.

PERFORMANCE REPORT
2010-11
The CCPN performance management plan has been designed to align
activities and outcomes to Ontario’s Health System Strategy and the
Excellent Care for All Act. Performance indicators (process, outcome,
and impact) and annual benchmarks are established for each priority
initiative and tracked by the CCPN’s leadership team.
The 2010-11 operating year marks the end of the fourth year of the
five-year Champlain CVD Prevention Strategy. Detailed progress of the
six priority initiatives is highlighted on the pages that follow.
CCPN HEALTH SYSTEM GOALS

SUMMARY OF
ACHIEVEMENTS
Investing in Upstream Prevention
The Champlain “Give Your Head a Shake” Sodium Reduction Campaign is a
mass media campaign designed to help residents take action to reduce their daily
sodium intake. The campaign features quick and easy tips for reducing sodium
when buying foods, eating out, or cooking at home. More than 6,500 campaign
ads have been seen and heard throughout the region on TV, radio, print, and web,
generating more than 100 news stories.
Building from the Champlain Declaration, the Healthy Schools 2020 action plan
is focused on supporting the nine school boards in the implementation of healthy
lunch programs, healthy fundraising, and healthy classroom rewards. More than
660 principals, parents, teachers, and public health professionals attended a Healthy
Schools 2020 workshop in 2010-11.
Excellence in Evidence-based Care in Hospitals
The Champlain Get with the Guidelines (GWG) Initiative is ensuring that
hospitals in the Champlain region are providing the highest standard of care for
patients who are hospitalized with cardiac symptoms. In 2010, the GWG program
expanded to include Heart Failure.
The Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC) in Hospitals continues
to reach hospitalized smokers across the Champlain region. Since 2006, more
than 21,360 hospitalized smokers have received the OMSC intervention,
resulting in over 6,100 patients who are smoke-free. The Champlain LHIN
was also the first health authority to include OMSC performance targets in its
hospital accountability agreements.
Strengthening Disease Management and
Preventative Care in our Primary Care
Health System
The Improved Delivery of Cardiovascular Care (IDOCC) Initiative has engaged
190 physicians in 83 primary care practices throughout the Champlain region.
Participating practices are supported by trained facilitators in creating targeted
prevention activities and increasing linkages with community resources.
In 2010-11, the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC) in
Primary Care Initiative was expanded to seven new primary care clinics in
the Champlain region. A total of 11 of the 16 Family Health Teams (15 clinics
total) in the Champlain region and 160 family doctors are now involved in
delivering this program with a total of 3,000 smokers identified and offered
cessation intervention.

The Champlain Healthy School-aged Children (CHSAC) Initiative is
focused on addressing healthy eating and physical activity behaviours
among our children and youth through a regional strategy aimed at
home, school, and community environments.
The Champlain Declaration: Our Call to Action
Signed in April 2009, the Champlain Declaration continues to engage and motivate
our nine school boards and public health community towards the vision of creating
healthy school environments so that children and youth can be physically active and
making healthy food choices every day.
HEALTHY SCHOOLS 2020:
The Champlain Declaration in Action!
Health and school board partners prioritized Healthy School Nutrition Environments
for the first two years of our work with a particular focus on three priorities.
HEALTHY SCHOOLS 2020 PRIORITY AREAS FOR ACTION
1 Healthy lunch programs and food service contracts
2 Healthy fundraising
3 Healthy classroom rewards
This includes supporting schools in the implementation of the new School Food
and Beverage Policy (PPM 150), which comes into effect across all publicly-funded
Ontario elementary and secondary schools on September 1st, 2011.

Know More Do More:
Building Healthy Active
Families
Know More Do More (KMDM) is a campaign
to encourage parents to create more physical
activity and healthy eating opportunities for their
families. Launched in March 2010, the KMDM
campaign generated 32 community newspaper
articles as well as a variety of coverage on local
TV and radio stations. Over 4,000 healthy active living tip sheets were distributed
throughout the community. In fall 2010, a KMDM newsletter was produced and
disseminated across all nine school boards.
Partnering with known Ottawa blogger Andrea Tomkins, KMDM continues
to actively promote its message through the use of social media outlets
such as Facebook and Twitter.

Sodium consumption continues to
garner significant attention - and
for good reason. Excess sodium in
processed foods – such as breads,
cheeses, processed meats, pasta
sauces, and vegetable juices –
causes 5,000 to 16,000 premature
heart attack and stroke deaths in
Canada each year and costs the
health care system and economy
at least $2 billion annually.

Improved Delivery of
Cardiovascular Care
(IDOCC) in Primary Care
Idocc is an innovative program designed to assist primary health care
providers to improve the delivery of evidence-based prevention and
management strategies for CVD within their practice.
The IDOCC initiative is based on best known evidence regarding clinical best
practices for the management of disease as well as evidence regarding the most
effective strategies to introduce quality improvements in primary care settings.
IDOCC aims to provide busy primary care providers with supports and tools
to deliver best available care to their patients. www.idocc.ca
How does the IDOCC
program work?
The IDOCC initiative uses an Outreach Facilitation
Model, a proven knowledge translation strategy
that will help family physicians improve their practice
and patient care. Outreach Facilitators support
practices with organizing work, implementing
specific care improvements, and ultimately,
increasing the use of evidence-based guidelines.

2011 UPDATE
THE CHAMPLAIN PRIMARY
CARE CARDIOVASCULAR
DISEASE PREVENTION AND
MANAGEMENT GUIDELINE
The Champlain Primary Care
Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and
Management Guideline was updated in
2011 to provide primary care physicians
and health professionals with the latest
evidence in preventing and managing
heart disease, stroke, diabetes and their
associated risk factors.
Approximately 1 in
5 physicians from
across the Champlain
region are partnered
in the IDOCC program,
making it one of
the largest primary
health care quality
improvement
initiatives in Canada.
As in the rest of Ontario and Canada, the incidence of diabetes in the
residents of the Champlain LHIN is increasing due, in part, to an aging
population, increased weight and/or obesity and decreased levels of physical
activity. From 1995 to 2005, the number of people with diabetes doubled
to 67,050.
1 Another 47,300 cases may develop in the region by 2017.2 To
help alleviate the burden on family practices, additional diabetes education
teams have been set up. Their mandate is to increase available health and
nutritional counselling, and to provide tools and resources to assist patients
with managing their diabetes
Different models of diabetes programs have been developed throughout the
region. Here are two interesting examples.
The Eastern Counties Diabetes Education Program offers pre-diabetes, and
diabetes education, and insulin initiation. Even physicians or patients who are
not part of le Centre de Santé Communautaire de l’Estrie can refer and attend
the CSC Diabetes Education Programs which may have shorter wait times than
some hospital programs. Contact the Diabetes Education Programs Manager,
Eastern Counties, at Tel: 613-487-1802.
The Rideau Valley Diabetes Clinic Program provides general diabetes education,
self management techniques, initiates insulin and follow up to patients
identified by the family practice provider. These half or full day sessions are
offered by a diabetes nurse educator and a dietician at the family practice
office every 2-4 weeks depending on practice needs. For more information
visit the website: http://www.rvds.ca/ or contact the Rideau Valley Diabetes
Services Director at Tel: 1-877-321-4500 ext.308.

A 19% increase in the percentage of patients with Diabetes LDL target levels was
documented upon completion of the IDOCC intervention.
IDOCC PRACTICES HAVE IMPROVED THE QUALITY OF
CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk for developing
CVD. Upon completion of the 24-month IDOCC intervention in 26 Phase I
practices, consistent improvements were seen in care delivery and health
outcomes for patients with CKD:
Adherence rates for performing albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) screening increased
by over 10% in 13 of 26 practices and by over 40% in five of these practices;
The percentage of patients who received a lipid profile measurement increased
by 11%; four practices improved by over 40%; and,
There was an 11% increase in the percentage of patients at LDL target levels.

OTTAWA MODEL FOR
SMOKING CESSATION
The Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC) is an evidence-
based best practice model to address tobacco use in clinical settings.
It is designed to identify, treat, and offer follow-up support to smokers
identified in clinical settings such as hospitals, outpatient clinics and
family medicine, in order to increase patient success with quitting.
WHY MAKE SMOKING CESSATION A PRIORITY IN
CLINICAL SETTINGS?
Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause
of death.
Tobacco use is a major risk factor for each of the leading chronic diseases,
including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and respiratory illness.
Smoking cessation is the most powerful preventative
intervention available.
There is an abundance of evidence regarding the distinct health benefits associated
with quitting. If your patients smoke, helping them to quit is far more important to
their health than many other common preventative treatments.
WHAT IS the OTTAWA
MODEL FOR SMOKING
CESSATION?
The OMSC clinical protocol has five
main components:
1 Identification: Smoking status of all
patients is acquired.

CHAMPLAIN HOSPITAL-
BASED SMOKING
CESSATION PROGRAM
18 hospitals in the Champlain LHIN are implementing the OMSC to
address tobacco use among hospitalized patients.
OMSC DEMONSTRATES SAVING HEALTH CARE DOLLARS
A recent case study was completed at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute
(UOHI) looking at the costs and benefits related to implementation of the OMSC.
The total operating costs for the OMSC for inpatient smokers at UOHI was
$237,806. Over a 2-year follow-up period, the following results were achieved as
a result of the OMSC program:
• 141 readmissions were avoided;
• 881 bed-days were saved;
• $1,321,500 were saved; and,
• Return on investment was estimated at 556%.

resulting in more than
6,100 quitters at
6 months post-
discharge.

PRIMARY CARE SMOKING
CESSATION PROGRAM
Based on the success of the hospital-based program, the OMSC
was adapted for use in busy primary care clinics. This adaptation of
the program included the revision of protocols and tools to meet
the needs of primary care clinicians as well as the customization of
provider education and patient follow-up supports.
There are now 15 primary care practices and 160 family doctors implementing the
OMSC. More than 3,000 patients who smoke have been delivered treatment.
ONTARIO FAMILY HEALTH TEAMS
The OMSC is particularly well-suited for implementation in Family Health Teams
in which intra-disciplinary models are in place. The OMSC also meets all criteria
for the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s Chronic Disease Prevention and
Management Best Practice Program for Family Health Teams:
• Targets specific patient populations;
• Follows evidence-based guidelines and may include clinical pathways or flowcharts;
• Includes defined roles for specific healthcare providers on the team; and,
• Includes meaningful, measurable objectives and outcomes.

CHAMPLAIN GET WITH THE
GUIDELINES INITIATIVE
The Champlain Get with the Guidelines (GWG) Initiative is a quality
improvement initiative to ensure that patients admitted to hospitals in the
Champlain LHIN receive treatment according to evidence-based guidelines.
The Get with the Guidelines Program
The “Guidelines in Practice” toolkit supports integration of best practice guidelines
into routine hospital practices. The toolkit includes clinical pathways, physician
orders, patient education materials, and a data abstraction process to support the
collection of performance metrics, quality reporting and quality improvement cycles.
The Champlain GWG Initiative was first implemented in 2007 with a focus on
patients admitted with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). In May of 2010, building
from the success of the GWG-ACS initiative, a second phase of the GWG Program
was launched to provide best available evidence-based treatment to patients
admitted with Heart Failure.
EVIDENCE-BASED CARE IS A PROVEN METHOD FOR SAVING LIVES…
AND HEALTH CARE DOLLARS
Research has shown that implementation of a standard discharge protocol in
hospitals is effective in increasing utilization of evidence-based therapies. These
evidence-based treatments have been shown to reduce future emergency room
visits, hospital admissions, subsequent cardiac attack events, and death.

PERFORMANCE REPORT 2008-09
ACUTE CORONARY
SYNDROME
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)
includes patients with chronic heart
disease and can range from chest pain
(angina) to heart attack (myocardial
infarction). In the Champlain LHIN:
• 6% (16,000 visits) of all emergency
department hospital visits are due to
ACS related diagnoses
• 6,259 patients are admitted to
hospital with a diagnosis of ACS every
year, representing close to one-third
of all cardiac-related admissions
HEART FAILURE
• Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is the
fourth most common chronic disease.
• Heart Failure is the most common
reason residents over the age of 65
years are admitted to hospital.
• Over the next three decades, it is
expected that the number of people
with CHF will double.
• In Ontario, less than a third of Heart
Failure patients are on the right
medication regimen, which is a major
cause of unnecessary hospital visits.

    The Champlain CardiovascularDisease Prevention Strategy 1 The Champlain Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Network is committed to leading the way in Ontario with new standards for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is my pleasure to share with you the 2010-11 Annual Report for the Network. We are proud of the significant accomplishments that have resulted since the launch of the Champlain CVD Prevention Strategy in 2007. We have successfully introduced in hospitals across the region state-of-the-art prevention programs and are showing measurable results in regards to health care excellence. Similarly, evidence-based programs are now in place in primary care settings across the region and strategic investments have been made in two upstream prevention initiatives to ensure our residents – both young and old – reduce their risk for CVD. In a concerted and combined effort, the school system, the health system, and community organizations are all working to make our region one of the healthiest in the province. I would like to personally acknowledge the efforts of leaders from across the Champlain District for your work in improving the quality of programs and services in the Champlain region. Sincerely, Andrew Pipe, CM, MD Chair, Champlain CVD Prevention Network Medical Director, Minto Prevention and Rehabilitation Centre, University of Ottawa Heart Institute The Champlain LHIN has been a proud partner of the Champlain CVD Prevention Network during the past several years. The LHIN helps to bring providers and communities together to benefit patients, and our support of the Network is a good example of this. We continued our commitment in 2010- 11 to support leading-edge initiatives that are improving the health of our community and performance of the health system. Programs directed toward reducing smoking rates, preventing high blood pressure, and increasing good nutrition and activity habits in children and youth are key factors in the creation of a healthier population. Significant quality improvements in CVD prevention - both in primary care settings and in hospitals - are also being accomplished. Certainly, it is this type of preventive approach that has the most impact in bringing about real change in health care. The CCPN is building a better system of best practice in CVD prevention and management, and all partners involved are playing an important role in advancing these improvements across our region. Your hard work, your enthusiasm, and your innovation are appreciated.

    CCPN | ANNUALREPORT 2010-11 2 CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IS THE NUMBER ONE COST DRIVER TO OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. IT IS THE SINGLE LEADING CAUSE OF Death, Disability, and Hospitalization in the Champlain Region, Ontario, and Canada. BUT THE REAL TRAGEDY IS THAT 80% OF PREMATURE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IS PREVENTABLE.
  • 5.
    The Champlain CardiovascularDisease Prevention Strategy 3 THE COST OF CVD TO THE CHAMPLAIN DISTRICT IS ENORMOUS. CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (CVD) is the number one cost driver to our health care system. $7.6 billion is spent annually in Ontario on the treatment of CVD. CVD accounts for the largest proportion of health care spending in Ontario including 20% of acute care hospital costs, 15% of home care, 10.5% of emergency room visits, 10% of medical services, and 17% of drug expenditures. CVD is the leading cause of death and disability in Canada, Ontario, and the Champlain region. Approximately 40,000 Canadians, 26,000 Ontarians, and 2,600 Champlain residents die each year of CVD. More than 90,000 Champlain residents are living with CVD. 8 in 10 Ontarians are living with one or more cardiovascular risk factors. Several Champlain communities have among the highest rates of CVD in the province. Renfrew County, Eastern Ontario (Prescott & Russell), and Leeds, Grenville & Lanark Counties are three of Ontario’s “hot spots” for CVD. These regions experience rates of CVD morbidity and mortality which are significantly higher than both the City of Ottawa and the provincial average. The economic impact of CVD will continue to grow and threatens the sustainability of our health care system. The number of deaths caused by CVD is expected to double by 2018 as a result of an aging demographic, population growth, and increasing prevalence of CVD risk factors. Ontario is currently spending $46.1 billion per year on health care, representing 46% of all spending, which has increased by $17 billion per year since 2003. If the rate of health care spending is not curbed, it will represent 70% of all program spending in Ontario within 12 years. Source: Ontario Ministry of Finance. 2010 Ontario Budget.

    The Champlain CardiovascularDisease Prevention Strategy 5 DEMONSTRATING PROVINCIAL LEADERSHIP IN CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION & MANAGEMENT Through the implementation of an integrated, regional CVD prevention and management strategy, the Champlain region is actively contributing to the province’s commitment to reduce the burden of chronic disease, helping to transform the health system at the local level and better serve Ontarians. The CCPN has already made great strides in bridging the silos between health and community partners which previously limited the ability to successfully address chronic disease prevention and management in a unified manner. THE CHAMPLAIN CVD PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY The Champlain CVD Prevention and Management Strategy was developed in response to the growing necessity to establish an integrated, coordinated, and comprehensive approach to preventing and managing CVD. The Champlain CVD Strategy is a five-year plan designed to eliminate disparities in CVD health and make the residents of the Champlain region the most heart healthy and stroke-free in Canada. Implementation of the Strategy has been led by a multi-sectoral group of dedicated partners, known as the Champlain CVD Prevention Network (CCPN). The CCPN was formed in November 2005 and includes partners from public health, specialty (cardiac and stroke) care, primary care, hospitals, academia, and the community who are committed to a common vision and goals. The Strategy is focused on the implementation of six large-scale, population-level priority initiatives. The six initiatives are the building blocks for a comprehensive CVD prevention and management system. “ Change requires our best collaborative efforts to create, apply, and sustain multiple strategies. Many actors must work together on comprehensive and coordinated policies and programs. The complexity of the interrelationships between the factors affecting health means that broad involvement is required across sectors and at all levels of society to create an integrated approach.” - Improving the Health of Canadians, Canadian Institute for Health Information (2004) Our Vision: To develop an integrated system of excellence in CVD prevention for the Champlain region that acts as a model for Ontario and Canada. Our Mission: To implement unified approaches to reduce the burden of CVD in the Champlain region, spanning the continuum of healthy persons to those with sub-clinical and known disease. The CCPN will act to mobilize and integrate partners in public health, community, primary care, institutional sectors, academia, and industry to eliminate disparities in CVD risk and ensure the citizens of the Champlain region are the most heart healthy and stroke-free in Canada. Evidence-based strategies for CVD prevention and management are already well established and have been proven to be highly cost-effective.

    The Champlain CardiovascularDisease Prevention Strategy 7 Champlain Community Heart Health Survey (CVD Surveillance Initiative) SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS Investing in Upstream Prevention The Champlain “Give Your Head a Shake” Sodium Reduction Campaign is a mass media campaign designed to help residents take action to reduce their daily sodium intake. The campaign features quick and easy tips for reducing sodium when buying foods, eating out, or cooking at home. More than 6,500 campaign ads have been seen and heard throughout the region on TV, radio, print, and web, generating more than 100 news stories. Building from the Champlain Declaration, the Healthy Schools 2020 action plan is focused on supporting the nine school boards in the implementation of healthy lunch programs, healthy fundraising, and healthy classroom rewards. More than 660 principals, parents, teachers, and public health professionals attended a Healthy Schools 2020 workshop in 2010-11. Excellence in Evidence-based Care in Hospitals The Champlain Get with the Guidelines (GWG) Initiative is ensuring that hospitals in the Champlain region are providing the highest standard of care for patients who are hospitalized with cardiac symptoms. In 2010, the GWG program expanded to include Heart Failure. The Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC) in Hospitals continues to reach hospitalized smokers across the Champlain region. Since 2006, more than 21,360 hospitalized smokers have received the OMSC intervention, resulting in over 6,100 patients who are smoke-free. The Champlain LHIN was also the first health authority to include OMSC performance targets in its hospital accountability agreements. Strengthening Disease Management and Preventative Care in our Primary Care Health System The Improved Delivery of Cardiovascular Care (IDOCC) Initiative has engaged 190 physicians in 83 primary care practices throughout the Champlain region. Participating practices are supported by trained facilitators in creating targeted prevention activities and increasing linkages with community resources. In 2010-11, the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC) in Primary Care Initiative was expanded to seven new primary care clinics in the Champlain region. A total of 11 of the 16 Family Health Teams (15 clinics total) in the Champlain region and 160 family doctors are now involved in delivering this program with a total of 3,000 smokers identified and offered cessation intervention.

The Champlain Healthy School-aged Children (CHSAC) Initiative is focused on addressing healthy eating and physical activity behaviours among our children and youth through a regional strategy aimed at home, school, and community environments. The Champlain Declaration: Our Call to Action Signed in April 2009, the Champlain Declaration continues to engage and motivate our nine school boards and public health community towards the vision of creating healthy school environments so that children and youth can be physically active and making healthy food choices every day. HEALTHY SCHOOLS 2020: The Champlain Declaration in Action! Health and school board partners prioritized Healthy School Nutrition Environments for the first two years of our work with a particular focus on three priorities. HEALTHY SCHOOLS 2020 PRIORITY AREAS FOR ACTION 1 Healthy lunch programs and food service contracts 2 Healthy fundraising 3 Healthy classroom rewards This includes supporting schools in the implementation of the new School Food and Beverage Policy (PPM 150), which comes into effect across all publicly-funded Ontario elementary and secondary schools on September 1st, 2011. LEARN MORE! Check out the video on our newly launched Healthy Schools 2020 website: www.healthyschools2020.ca Over 660 Principals, Parents Teachers Attend Healthy Schools 2020 Workshops To support schools in making these important changes, a series of school board workshops were co-hosted in partnership with public health over the course of the fall 2010 and winter 2011. Participants were provided with practical tools and resources to support their implementation efforts. A Workshop Report was created to highlight the wealth of ideas shared at the workshops for each priority area.

    The Champlain CardiovascularDisease Prevention Strategy 11 Know More Do More: Building Healthy Active Families Know More Do More (KMDM) is a campaign to encourage parents to create more physical activity and healthy eating opportunities for their families. Launched in March 2010, the KMDM campaign generated 32 community newspaper articles as well as a variety of coverage on local TV and radio stations. Over 4,000 healthy active living tip sheets were distributed throughout the community. In fall 2010, a KMDM newsletter was produced and disseminated across all nine school boards. Partnering with known Ottawa blogger Andrea Tomkins, KMDM continues to actively promote its message through the use of social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter. www.knowmore-domore.ca | www.savoirplus-faireplus.ca First Champlain Report Card Released in April 2011 To help us better understand our starting point, all school principals in the Champlain region were invited to complete a brief survey to assess what is currently happening in schools with respect to nutrition environments, and in particular, lunch programs, fundraising and classroom rewards. Nearly 300 principals completed the survey. A complete summary of survey results can be found in the Champlain Report Card, located on the website.

    CCPN | ANNUALREPORT 2010-11 14 Improved Delivery of Cardiovascular Care (IDOCC) in Primary Care Idocc is an innovative program designed to assist primary health care providers to improve the delivery of evidence-based prevention and management strategies for CVD within their practice. The IDOCC initiative is based on best known evidence regarding clinical best practices for the management of disease as well as evidence regarding the most effective strategies to introduce quality improvements in primary care settings. IDOCC aims to provide busy primary care providers with supports and tools to deliver best available care to their patients. www.idocc.ca How does the IDOCC program work? The IDOCC initiative uses an Outreach Facilitation Model, a proven knowledge translation strategy that will help family physicians improve their practice and patient care. Outreach Facilitators support practices with organizing work, implementing specific care improvements, and ultimately, increasing the use of evidence-based guidelines. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS 2010-11 Indicator Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 ALL PhaseS Year Launched 2007 2008 2009 Number of physicians signed on as partner 66 77 47 190 Number of practices signed on as partner 26 30 27 83 IDOCC Team Hosts Quality Improvement Outreach Training Workshop On January 24-26th, 2011, the C.T. Lamont Primary Health Care Research Centre at the Élisabeth Bruyère Research Institute hosted the Art Science of Outreach Facilitation. This three-day workshop attracted over 70 participants from across Ontario and focused on the theory of facilitation and practical tools for initiating and supporting change in practices, as well as providing an extensive introduction to chronic disease self-management. 2011 UPDATE THE CHAMPLAIN PRIMARY CARE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT GUIDELINE The Champlain Primary Care Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Management Guideline was updated in 2011 to provide primary care physicians and health professionals with the latest evidence in preventing and managing heart disease, stroke, diabetes and their associated risk factors. Approximately 1 in 5 physicians from across the Champlain region are partnered in the IDOCC program, making it one of the largest primary health care quality improvement initiatives in Canada. As in the rest of Ontario and Canada, the incidence of diabetes in the residents of the Champlain LHIN is increasing due, in part, to an aging population, increased weight and/or obesity and decreased levels of physical activity. From 1995 to 2005, the number of people with diabetes doubled to 67,050. 1 Another 47,300 cases may develop in the region by 2017.2 To help alleviate the burden on family practices, additional diabetes education teams have been set up. Their mandate is to increase available health and nutritional counselling, and to provide tools and resources to assist patients with managing their diabetes Different models of diabetes programs have been developed throughout the region. Here are two interesting examples. The Eastern Counties Diabetes Education Program offers pre-diabetes, and diabetes education, and insulin initiation. Even physicians or patients who are not part of le Centre de Santé Communautaire de l’Estrie can refer and attend the CSC Diabetes Education Programs which may have shorter wait times than some hospital programs. Contact the Diabetes Education Programs Manager, Eastern Counties, at Tel: 613-487-1802. The Rideau Valley Diabetes Clinic Program provides general diabetes education, self management techniques, initiates insulin and follow up to patients identified by the family practice provider. These half or full day sessions are offered by a diabetes nurse educator and a dietician at the family practice office every 2-4 weeks depending on practice needs. For more information visit the website: http://www.rvds.ca/ or contact the Rideau Valley Diabetes Services Director at Tel: 1-877-321-4500 ext.308.

    The Champlain CardiovascularDisease Prevention Strategy 15 DEMONSTRATING IMPACT ON OUTCOME INDICATORS IMPROVEMENTS IN PATIENTS ACHIEVING LDL TARGETS A 19% increase in the percentage of patients with Diabetes LDL target levels was documented upon completion of the IDOCC intervention. IDOCC PRACTICES HAVE IMPROVED THE QUALITY OF CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk for developing CVD. Upon completion of the 24-month IDOCC intervention in 26 Phase I practices, consistent improvements were seen in care delivery and health outcomes for patients with CKD: Adherence rates for performing albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) screening increased by over 10% in 13 of 26 practices and by over 40% in five of these practices; The percentage of patients who received a lipid profile measurement increased by 11%; four practices improved by over 40%; and, There was an 11% increase in the percentage of patients at LDL target levels. The IDOCC project management team is housed at the CT Lamont Primary Health Care Research Centre at the Elisabeth Bruyère Research Institute, University of Ottawa. The IDOCC Initiative is sponsored by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, and Pfizer Canada Inc., a Founding Industry Partner of the CCPN. IDOCC facilitators are trained to help practices better engage their patients in self-management and are able to easily tap into a multitude of resources for the practice. “Our facilitator was key to investigating best evidence/ practices, especially around self- management topics. We never felt like we had to reinvent the wheel. We did modify some tools for our patients - like the Hypertension Bubble Chart - which allowed patients to choose what they wanted to talk to us about.” — Dr. Lisa Rosenkrantz Family Practitioner West Carleton Family Health Team IDOCC Practice PErCENTAGE OF PATIENTS AT LDL TARGET LEVELS Before After (24-month follow-up) DIABETES DYS CKD 38% 52.5% 52.5% 64% CAD 46% 61% 42% 60.5%

It is designed to identify, treat, and offer follow-up support to smokers identified in clinical settings such as hospitals, outpatient clinics and family medicine, in order to increase patient success with quitting. WHY MAKE SMOKING CESSATION A PRIORITY IN CLINICAL SETTINGS? Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of death. Tobacco use is a major risk factor for each of the leading chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and respiratory illness. Smoking cessation is the most powerful preventative intervention available. There is an abundance of evidence regarding the distinct health benefits associated with quitting. If your patients smoke, helping them to quit is far more important to their health than many other common preventative treatments. WHAT IS the OTTAWA MODEL FOR SMOKING CESSATION? The OMSC clinical protocol has five main components: 1 Identification: Smoking status of all patients is acquired. 2 Documentation: Smoking status is noted on patient’s record. 3 Strategic Advice: Brief counseling and strategies for withdrawal management and quit attempts are offered to all patients who smoke. 4 Pharmacotherapy: First-line smoking cessation medications are offered to all patients who smoke. 5 Follow-up: Automated follow- up support for 6 months and/ or link to primary care or community programs is offered. Tobacco Use Survey Please comPlete the following questions: answeR heRe 1. Have you used any form of tobacco in the past 6-months? Yes No – please return the survey to the clinic receptionist 2.

    The Champlain CardiovascularDisease Prevention Strategy 17 CHAMPLAIN HOSPITAL- BASED SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAM 18 hospitals in the Champlain LHIN are implementing the OMSC to address tobacco use among hospitalized patients. OMSC DEMONSTRATES SAVING HEALTH CARE DOLLARS A recent case study was completed at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI) looking at the costs and benefits related to implementation of the OMSC. The total operating costs for the OMSC for inpatient smokers at UOHI was $237,806. Over a 2-year follow-up period, the following results were achieved as a result of the OMSC program: • 141 readmissions were avoided; • 881 bed-days were saved; • $1,321,500 were saved; and, • Return on investment was estimated at 556%. Key Performance Indicators 2010-11 Indicator Performance 2010-11 Process Number of hospitals signed as partner in Champlain Hospital-based Smoking Cessation Network 18 Number of health professionals trained in best practice cessation guidelines in Champlain LHIN 500 Number of Champlain LHIN hospitals implementing the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation 18 Number of outpatient clinics implementing the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation 12 Number of Ontario Hospitals implementing the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation 39 Outcome Number of smokers identified and offered treatment in Champlain Network Hospitals 4,841 Impact Improvement in 6-month quit rate attributable to cessation intervention 11% Number of smokers quit at 6-month post-discharge 1,423 Since April 2007, over 21,360 hospitalized smokers in the Champlain LHIN have been provided the OMSC intervention, resulting in more than 6,100 quitters at 6 months post- discharge. Ottawa Model Statistics Smokers treated (2006-present) PLAN FOR INCREASING REACH OF OMSC IN CHAMPLAIN HOSPITALS 2010-13 As part the Champlain LHIN’s Accountability Agreements with Hospitals, a target has been included to increase the number of smokers who receive the OMSC by 25% in 2010-11 and reach 80% of all inpatient smokers by March 31, 2013. The Champlain Hospital-Based Smoking Cessation Network is funded by the Smoke-Free Ontario Strategy of the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport and Health Canada. 2010-11 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2,561 7,291 11,892 16,519 21,360

    CCPN | ANNUALREPORT 2010-11 18 PRIMARY CARE SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAM Based on the success of the hospital-based program, the OMSC was adapted for use in busy primary care clinics. This adaptation of the program included the revision of protocols and tools to meet the needs of primary care clinicians as well as the customization of provider education and patient follow-up supports. There are now 15 primary care practices and 160 family doctors implementing the OMSC. More than 3,000 patients who smoke have been delivered treatment. ONTARIO FAMILY HEALTH TEAMS The OMSC is particularly well-suited for implementation in Family Health Teams in which intra-disciplinary models are in place. The OMSC also meets all criteria for the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s Chronic Disease Prevention and Management Best Practice Program for Family Health Teams: • Targets specific patient populations; • Follows evidence-based guidelines and may include clinical pathways or flowcharts; • Includes defined roles for specific healthcare providers on the team; and, • Includes meaningful, measurable objectives and outcomes. Key Performance Indicators 2010-11 Indicator Performance 2010-11 Process Number of primary care clinics in Champlain LHIN implementing the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation 15 Number of primary care health professionals trained in best practice cessation guidelines in Champlain LHIN 160 Outcome Number of smokers identified and offered treatment in Champlain primary care clinics 3,000 The Primary Care Pilot Program was funded by the Canadian Tobacco Control Research Initiative and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The OMSC in Primary Care Expansion Program is funded by Pfizer Canada Inc., and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. In 2010-11, the OMSC was expanded to seven new Family Health Teams in the Champlain Region.

    CCPN | ANNUALREPORT 2010-11 20 CHAMPLAIN GET WITH THE GUIDELINES INITIATIVE The Champlain Get with the Guidelines (GWG) Initiative is a quality improvement initiative to ensure that patients admitted to hospitals in the Champlain LHIN receive treatment according to evidence-based guidelines. The Get with the Guidelines Program The “Guidelines in Practice” toolkit supports integration of best practice guidelines into routine hospital practices. The toolkit includes clinical pathways, physician orders, patient education materials, and a data abstraction process to support the collection of performance metrics, quality reporting and quality improvement cycles. The Champlain GWG Initiative was first implemented in 2007 with a focus on patients admitted with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). In May of 2010, building from the success of the GWG-ACS initiative, a second phase of the GWG Program was launched to provide best available evidence-based treatment to patients admitted with Heart Failure. EVIDENCE-BASED CARE IS A PROVEN METHOD FOR SAVING LIVES… AND HEALTH CARE DOLLARS Research has shown that implementation of a standard discharge protocol in hospitals is effective in increasing utilization of evidence-based therapies. These evidence-based treatments have been shown to reduce future emergency room visits, hospital admissions, subsequent cardiac attack events, and death. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS 2010-11 Indicator ACS Launched 2007 Heart Failure Launched 2010 Number of hospitals in which initial site visit completed 16 15 Number of hospitals completed baseline chart audit 16 14 Number of hospitals implementing GWG 15 2 Number of hospitals completed post- implementation audit 15 N/A Number of hospitals submitting data to CIHI 14 N/A % of patients for which GAP tool was complete 71% N/A C h a m p l a i n GET WiTh ThE GUiDElinES ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME PERFORMANCE REPORT 2008-09 ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) includes patients with chronic heart disease and can range from chest pain (angina) to heart attack (myocardial infarction). In the Champlain LHIN: • 6% (16,000 visits) of all emergency department hospital visits are due to ACS related diagnoses • 6,259 patients are admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of ACS every year, representing close to one-third of all cardiac-related admissions HEART FAILURE • Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is the fourth most common chronic disease. • Heart Failure is the most common reason residents over the age of 65 years are admitted to hospital. • Over the next three decades, it is expected that the number of people with CHF will double. • In Ontario, less than a third of Heart Failure patients are on the right medication regimen, which is a major cause of unnecessary hospital visits.
