Using this comprehensive assessment will help to highlight individual strengths and areas for development related to EIDM
Advancing the Methods of Evaluation of Quality and Safety Practice and Educa...Daniel McLinden
Improving healthcare in an organization requires individuals with the capability to design, test and implement improved processes in an organization with the capacity to support the scale and spread of improvement. If improvement capability is not widespread in the workforce then an intervention is needed to create the capability. In response to this challenge, Cincinnati Children’s designed and implemented a comprehensive Improvement Science curriculum to build capability. The program has achieved measurable improvements in both process and outcome measures of patient care and business processes. Incorporating unique design principles, this intervention served as a catalyst for quality transformation.
In this workshop we will share our perspective and provide examples with data that illustrates:
• Building support and buy-in through the design of participant selection.
• Creating an intervention to build capability that includes training but involves more than training.
• A comprehensive model based on competencies
• Expanding the four-level Kirkpatrick model evaluation with additional levels that encompass economic impact and network impact.
• Using self-assessment to evaluate learning outcomes.
This 21 slide presentation Needs Analysis is Module 2 of a nine (9) module online course for adult education policy makers and practitioners to complement an innovative toolkit to guide adult education policy and practice.
Participation in adult education varies significantly across states and regions of Europe! Why? Evidence and literature suggests a wide disparity in policy making, programming and implementation skills in the adult education sector across Europe. It is imperative that policy makers and programme managers address this disparity to foster life-long learning for a smart-sustainable Europe (see EU2020 https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/economic-and-fiscal-policy-coordination/eu-economic-governance-monitoring-prevention-correction/european-semester/framework/europe-2020-strategy_en) and to achieve a European target of 15% of the adult population engaged in learning.
In response to this challenge, the ERASMUS+ DIMA project (See https://dima-project.eu/index.php/en/, 2015 to 2017) developed a practical 9 module online course to complement an innovative toolkit to guide adult education policy and practice. The DIMA toolkit (See https://dima-project.eu/index.php/en/toolkit) introduces tools for developing, implementing, and monitoring adult education policies, strategies, and practices.

There are many examples of evidence-informed decision making (EIDM) among public health professionals and organizations in Canada. However, there are limited mechanisms in place to facilitate the sharing of these stories within the public health community. The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT) seeks to address this gap with an interactive, peer-led webinar series featuring a collection of EIDM success stories in public health.
These success stories will illustrate what EIDM in public health practice, programs and policy looks like across the country.
Join us to engage with public health practitioners across Canada as they share their success stories of using or implementing EIDM in the real world. Learn about the strategies and tools used by presenters to improve the use of evidence.

Skills for Prosperity: Using OER to support nationwide change in KenyaFereshte Goshtasbpour
As a key pathway to improving access to higher education in Kenya, the development and enhancement of online education has been prioritised by the country’s government and is reflected in the country’s strategic plans, including the National Education Sector’s Strategic Plan 2018-22. To facilitate this development and enhancement, studies have suggested capacity building for university staff and development of their digital competencies.
To this end, a nationwide capacity development programme (Digital Education for Universities) was designed and delivered to 254 selected educators, managers and support staff in Kenyan universities as a part of the Skills for Prosperity Kenya programme. The initiative ran across 37 public universities and was based on an existing openly licensed course “Take Your Teaching Online”, which was reused, repurposed and localised to offer accessible online professional development.
This presentation presents findings from a mixed-methods evaluative study of the initiative, informed by data from a post-training survey (n=120), semi-structured interviews with 30 participants and focus groups with four university teams 15-18 months after the training. The study identified impacts of this OER on the digital competencies and practices of three groups of staff – educators, managers and support staff. It also identified areas in which substantial change has already emerged as a result of the course.
Local school board members are a key link between school districts and communities. They represent public concerns around testing and can hold district officials accountable. Given the critical role that local school boards play, Achieve and the National School Boards Association have developed “Assessment 101” resources for school board members. This professional development module is designed to:
· outline the critical role school boards play in supporting high quality assessment systems;
· introduce school board members to key assessment concepts and issues;
· provide an introduction to the Student Assessment Inventory for School Districts as a process to streamline testing and support limited, high-quality assessments for all students.

Une grande incertitude découle de l’apparition de nouvelles maladies infectieuses comme la COVID-19, ce qui pose des défis uniques en matière de communication, différents d’autres initiatives de communication en santé. Une communication de crise efficace est essentielle à la promotion des comportements de prévention recommandés (comme la distanciation physique, l’hygiène des mains, le port du masque et la vaccination) et au maintien de la confiance durant la crise. Cette séance présentera un survol des meilleures pratiques en matière de communication de crise en santé publique dans les médias sociaux et abordera leur application concrète durant la COVID-19. D’abord, les meilleures pratiques en ce qui a trait à une communication de crise efficace pour démontrer que l’on est digne de confiance seront présentées. Le guide de communication de crise dans les médias sociaux, largement diffusé et téléchargé, offre des conseils pratiques en matière de santé publique. Par la suite, la communication de crise de Santé publique Ottawa dans les médias sociaux durant la COVID-19 sera examinée pour mettre en évidence les leçons tirées et les principales stratégies utilisées par l’équipe. Le compte Twitter de Santé publique Ottawa est le compte d’une autorité locale de santé publique le plus suivi en Amérique du Nord, et l’excellence de son travail dans les médias sociaux tout au long de la pandémie de COVID-19 a été soulignée par des organisations comme l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada, l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé, la Fondation Rockefeller et plusieurs autres.
High levels of uncertainty result from emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19, creating unique communication challenges that are different from other health communication initiatives. Effective crisis communication is essential to promote the recommended prevention behaviors (e.g., physical distancing, hand hygiene, mask-wearing, and vaccination) and to maintain trust during the crisis. The Guidebook for Social Media Crisis Communication has been widely shared and downloaded, providing practical advice for public health. This session will provide an overview of best practices for social media crisis communication for public health and its practical application during COVID-19. First, the best practices for effective crisis communication to demonstrate trustworthiness will be presented. Next, Ottawa Public Health’s social media crisis communication during COVID-19 will be explored to highlight the lessons learned and key strategies the team employs. Ottawa Public Health’s Twitter account is the most-followed local public health account in North America, and their social media work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been lauded for its excellence by organizations like the Public Health Agency of Canada, the World Health Organization, the Rockefeller Foundation and many others.
Presenters:
Dr. Melissa MacKay, University of Guelph - Dr. Melissa MacKay is a postdoctoral scholar and Sessional Instructor for the Master of Public Health program at the University of Guelph. Her research focuses on effective health and crisis communication, with a specific focus on social media.
Kevin Parent, Ottawa Public Health - Kevin Parent has been the social media lead for Ottawa Public Health since 2018. He graduated from Carleton University with a major in Communications and a minor in Sociology. Kevin is perpetually tired due to having 3 young children, and he loves coffee for the same reason.
Cette séance présentera un survol d’une revue exploratoire rapide, réalisée en 2022 par le Centre de collaboration nationale des méthodes et outils (CCNMO) en collaboration avec le Centre de collaboration nationale des maladies infectieuses (CCNMI), sur le rôle de la santé publique en partenariat avec des refuges offrant des services aux personnes en situation d’itinérance. La revue fait état d’exemples de collaborations entre la santé publique et des refuges pour offrir des programmes et des services de santé publique, ou pour soutenir le personnel des refuges relativement à des sujets de santé publique. Le CCNMI a utilisé cette revue dans le cadre d’un Institut explorant les possibilités d’améliorer les communications et les programmes afin qu’ils soient utiles aux clients et au personnel des refuges. Joignez-vous à nous pour en apprendre davantage sur les résultats de cette revue exploratoire rapide et pour discuter des moyens d’accroître la collaboration entre la santé publique et les refuges.
This session provides an overview of a rapid scoping review on the role of public health working with shelters serving people experiencing houselessness completed in 2022 by the National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT) in collaboration with the National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCCID).

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
