PSWs are increasingly a vital and fundamental part of the provision of health care in Ontario. This presentation provides an overview of who are PSWs, types of work and reasons for the expansion of workers in this profession.
The document discusses social prescribing, which enables primary care services to refer patients with social, emotional, or practical needs to local voluntary and community services. Social prescribing can benefit patients through improved health, wellbeing, and self-esteem. It benefits health professionals by reducing frequent practice attendance and freeing up GP time. It also benefits the health system through decreased reliance on statutory services and clinical prescribing. The document outlines pilots of social prescribing at medical practices in Leicestershire and examples from other areas that demonstrate improved outcomes.
This document discusses creating a functional population health program in Medi-Cal managed care. It provides background on the transition of Medi-Cal to managed care, including the inclusion of different eligibility groups over time. It then describes the typical delegated model used, with DHCS overseeing health plans that contract with IPAs and medical groups. It introduces SynerMed and DC3 Medical Group and their roles in serving Medi-Cal members. It outlines the goals and organization of DC3 Medical Group's Complex Care Center model for high-risk, high-cost members, including care coordination and improving outcomes. It concludes that new models of care can create value through better clinical and cost outcomes for at-risk populations.
This document summarizes Four Seasons Health Care's dementia care framework. It operates 350 homes serving 18,000 residents, with 20,000 staff. The framework was developed using best practices and focuses on individual experiences. It utilizes technology like iPads to gather feedback from residents, families, staff and visitors and track outcomes. The framework includes a digital audit tool called TRaCAd that covers over 300 standards on care quality. Resident and family charters were co-produced to connect the framework to what is important to residents and their loved ones.
The document discusses dementia care and support at ExtraCare retirement villages. It notes that around 30% of residents will experience issues like dementia and depression. ExtraCare developed the Enriched Opportunities Programme (EOP) with "EOP Locksmiths" who support residents. Research found those supported by Locksmiths were 50% less likely to move to a care home, spent 42% less time in hospital, and experienced improved quality of life and mental health. The EOP uses a model looking at neurological impairment, health biography, personality, social psychology, and how staff can assist residents. Community support services were later expanded.
The document discusses the Life Story Network organization and its programs that support family carers of people with dementia. It notes that over 700,000 family and friends provide care for those with dementia in the UK each year. The Life Story Network runs the Family Carers Matter program and the tide (together in dementia everyday) network to provide resources, peer support, and a voice for family carers. It addresses the diverse needs of carers from different backgrounds like Black, Asian, and minority ethnic groups and LGBTQ communities. The tide network aims to engage carers, build partnerships, and deliver a carers development program to provide grassroots support and influence strategic dementia care policies.
This document outlines the Mayi Kuwayu study, a longitudinal cohort study led by Ray Lovett that aims to develop cultural wellbeing indicators with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It will assess how cultural factors relate to health risks and outcomes. The study is guided by national health plans and research directions calling for evidence on the role of culture in Indigenous health. It uses a conceptual model relating cultural determinants to other factors and health. The study involves community engagement to design the survey and indicators, and will recruit nationally through Medicare data with additional community sampling. Initial pilots have occurred and the next steps include further indicator development, national recruitment and testing, and longitudinal data collection and linkage to examine relationships over time.
Phil McCarvill, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Marie Curie Cancer Care spoke at Commissioning Live on 26 March 2014 on 'End of life: using evidence'.
Using evidence that is currently available such as the Marie Curie Atlas; independent evaluations (e.g. Nuffield Trust); user, patient and carer feedback and social media, we are continuing to increase our understanding of experiences of end of life care.
Marie Curie is using this evidence and responding to feedback when we work with commissioners around the country to redesign end services.

This document summarizes a presentation on early intervention in psychosis (EIP) and improving outcomes. It discusses challenges like treatment delays and lack of therapy access. A new EIP pathway was implemented in four Hampshire teams to standardize assessments, promote physical health, and increase employment support. An evaluation is underway to see if it reduces symptoms severity and healthcare use while supporting recovery. Barriers like capacity and IT limitations remain, but initiatives like staff training and coproduction aim to further strengthen early psychosis care.
The Care Quality Commission conducted a review of end of life care in England to examine inequalities. They found that while the quality of end of life care varies, some groups experience worse care coordination and have their needs overlooked. Specifically, people with conditions besides cancer, older adults, those with dementia or from minority groups may face barriers. The review highlighted examples of good local practices that promote personalized care and address inequalities. The CQC will use its findings to strengthen regulation and assessment of end of life care quality and encourage continued improvement in meeting individual needs.

PwC conducted a study to examine the disproportionately high rates of incarceration of Indigenous Australians. Some of the key findings included:
- Indigenous adults are incarcerated at 11 times the rate of non-Indigenous adults. Rates are highest in WA and NT.
- Underlying causes contributing to high incarceration rates include poverty, lack of education, substance abuse, trauma, racism and poor health.
- Factors related to the justice system also contribute, such as high rates of previous contact with the system and less access to legal assistance.
- A holistic approach is needed that involves early intervention, universal prevention programs, targeted interventions, and reforms to the criminal justice system and policies.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.
More information is available online: www.expo.nhs.uk
This document summarizes the key findings of a 3-year longitudinal study comparing 162 new residents of ExtraCare retirement communities to a control group of 33 people living in their own homes. The study found that the ExtraCare model reduces total NHS costs for residents within the first 12 months and helps relieve pressure on GP surgeries. It also found a significant reduction in the duration of unplanned hospital stays for ExtraCare residents. Additionally, the ExtraCare model appears to offer significant savings in social care costs for local authorities and improves residents' health, well-being, mobility, and reduces depression over time.

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha tenido un impacto significativo en la economía mundial. Muchos países experimentaron fuertes caídas en el PIB y aumentos en el desempleo debido a los cierres generalizados y las restricciones a los viajes. Aunque las vacunas han permitido la reapertura de muchas economías, los efectos a largo plazo de la pandemia en sectores como el turismo y los viajes aún no están claros. Se espera que la recuperación económica mundial sea desigual y dependa de factores como el control

Personal Support Workers (PSWs) provide up to 80% of direct care to older adults living in long-term care or at home. PSWs help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and feeding. Their role has evolved with changes in the healthcare system focusing more on home and community care. There are approximately 100,000 PSWs in Ontario, over 90% are women and many are immigrants. Most PSWs work in long-term care facilities, home care settings, or hospitals. Their role and responsibilities are expanding due to an aging population needing more care, people being discharged from hospitals sooner, and fewer family members available to provide informal care.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.
