Friday Fun: Quick, entertaining video advocating for evidence based decision making
by MHIK NET 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

I sent an email out a while back promoting a video on a catchy way to explain evidence-based health care<http://bit.ly/1hpYHmw>. A colleague let me know that James McCormack, the video's creator, has another video out describing "using evidence to help you and your patient make decisions". It shows a doctor making decisions for his patient with heart disease based on guidelines rather than the best available evidence. A parody of the song "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye, the video "Some Studies that I Like to Quote" is definitely worth a look. Link to YouTube video: http://bit.ly/1ccpa4I -- Carol A.

Quick question.... do you or does your organization Tweet? We'd love to know about it (@mhiknet<http://twitter.com/mhiknet>) . If you've never been on Twitter the opportunity for collaboration and discussion in the field of health care is amazing especially in the area of health promotion. But don't take my word for it! Here are two recent articles. Online J Issues Nurs. 2012 Sep 30;17(3):4. Health tweets: an exploration of health promotion on twitter.<http://bit.ly/Itg1th> Donelle L, Booth RG.

Dignity and Patient Care
by Carol Cooke 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

I was happy to see so many (350) attending the Health Innovation Conference this week. Thank you to all who stopped by the booth and asked your questions. It was a pleasure to meet you. The keynote speaker was Dr. Harvey Max Chochinov of CancerCare Manitoba. His speech was very thought provoking for me personally. He suggested that in addition to knowledge and skills in health care that an equal amount of focus should also be spent on caring. I asked after his address if he thought that the skill of caring was being addressed in health profession education. He said that little by little he hopes the message is getting through. So in the interests of encouraging a little continuing education... if you haven't had the chance to read this 2007 article he wrote for the BMJ it's worth the time. BMJ. 2007 Jul 28;335(7612):184-7. Dignity and the essence of medicine: the A, B, C, and D of dignity conserving care<http://1.usa.gov/1ivtoY4>. [Free] Chochinov HM. Abstract: Kindness, humanity, and respect-the core values of medical professionalism-are too often being overlooked in the time pressured culture of modern health care, says Harvey Chochinov, and the A, B, C, and D of dignity conserving care can reinstate them. This is my interpretation of his speech so if you'd like to comment please feel free to do so! http://bit.ly/18oA5ax Sincerely, Carol -- Carol A.

Google Tips & Tricks
by Carol Cooke 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

On Oct 24, I had the privilege of visiting Southern Health and going to Carmen. While there I was asked to speak about MHIKNET Library Services and how to access them to a wonderful group of educators. We god side tracked a little after the presentation and I think an even bigger hit was the impromptu "Google Tips & Tricks" mini-session I was asked to do. So if the furious note taking was any indication ... perhaps you will find these useful too! Things to keep in mind * Google is all about making money; what floats to the top of the search results should be an indication of this * Don't ask Google your question (e.g. "What are the most recent statistics available on Canadians with Diabetes?"). Ask Google for your answer (e.g. Canada Diabetes statistics 2013). * Use the language you need to find in your results (e.g. neoplasms vs. cancer) Tips * Search for a phrase using quotation marks. (e.g. "multiple sclerosis") * Search for a specific type of file. (e.g. filetype:pdf or filetype:ppt) (pdf stands for portable document format and is commonly used by publishers; ppt stands for PowerPoint) * Search within a favorite site for something you KNOW is there (e.g. site:gc.ca or site:umanitoba.ca) (gc.ca is the Government of Canada) * Or similar concepts together using the | [pipe symbol]. (e.g. table|figure|data|statistics) Test it out for yourself! Try copying & pasting or typing in the following two examples and compare the difference in results. Example 1: What are the most recent statistics available on Canadians with Diabetes? Example 2: canada|manitoba diabetes statistics|data|table|figure filetype:pdf 2013 Example 3: site:gc.ca diabetes statistics|data|table|figure filetype:pdf Tricks Want to play around a little bit? Check out these hidden Google tricks. http://bit.ly/1hGe25f Interested in having us to a session for you? Let us know. Sincerely, Carol -- Carol A. Cooke Acting MHIKNET Librarian Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library University of Manitoba e. carol.cooke(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:carol.cooke@umanitoba.ca> p. 204-977-5660 c. 204-290-6710 w. http://mhiknet.lib.umanitoba.ca/

Value of Libraries - Neil Gaiman
by Carol Cooke 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Any Neil Gaiman fans out there? He gave a talk recently in London through the Reading Agency on "Neil Gaiman: Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming" the full text of which you can find here: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/oct/15/neil-gaiman-future-libraries-r… I think he speaks quite eloquently on the idea that with so much information in the world today the true value of libraries and librarians is to help you locate the specific materials you need to help you focus on putting the information into practice. While the full text is a long read I think one of the most pertinent sections is this one. ---------- "I worry that here in the 21st century people misunderstand what libraries are and the purpose of them. If you perceive a library as a shelf of books, it may seem antiquated or outdated in a world in which most, but not all, books in print exist digitally. But that is to miss the point fundamentally. I think it has to do with nature of information. Information has value, and the right information has enormous value. For all of human history, we have lived in a time of information scarcity, and having the needed information was always important, and always worth something: when to plant crops, where to find things, maps and histories and stories - they were always good for a meal and company. Information was a valuable thing, and those who had it or could obtain it could charge for that service. In the last few years, we've moved from an information-scarce economy to one driven by an information glut. According to Eric Schmidt of Google, every two days now the human race creates as much information as we did from the dawn of civilisation until 2003. That's about five exobytes of data a day, for those of you keeping score. The challenge becomes, not finding that scarce plant growing in the desert, but finding a specific plant growing in a jungle. We are going to need help navigating that information to find the thing we actually need." By the way.... any recommendations for your favourite Neil Gaiman book would be greatly appreciated. http://bit.ly/1abM8E7 Sincerely, Carol -- Carol A.

Since it was first introduced in 2007, the IHI's Triple Aim initiatives have enabled organizations from around the world to achieve better care for individuals, better health for populations and lower per capita costs of care. In conjunction with IHI Triple Aim staff and faculty, CFHI will provide expert guidance-adapted for the Canadian context and aligned with provincial priorities-to the Canadian teams. "Our Government is committed to supporting innovations that improve healthcare for Canadians," says Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose. "We are pleased that the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement is bringing together teams from across the country and supporting them to implement projects that enhance patient care, reduce health costs, and improve the health of Canadians." "IHI's Triple Aim is a great program," says Maureen O'Neil, O.C., President, CFHI. "CFHI is supporting the participation of nine Canadian teams, providing them with access to Canadian experts and coaches and creating opportunities for Canadians to connect and learn from each other and, ultimately, to share their work with health systems across the country." Based on six phases of pilot testing with over 130 organizations around the world since 2006, IHI recommends a change process that includes: identification of target populations; definition of system aims and measures; development of a portfolio of project work that is sufficiently strong to move system-level results, and rapid testing and scale up that is adapted to local needs and conditions. IHI believes the organizations and communities that do this work effectively incorporate a range of community determinants of health, empower individuals and families, substantially broaden the role and impact of primary care and other community based services, and assure a seamless journey through the system of care throughout a person's life. This can lead to less complex and much more coordinated care, decreased burden of illness, and integration to allow independent stakeholders to align around the needs of the population. "We need to build capacity to support our community," says Donna Ouellette, Director of Clinical Quality Improvement, North Zone, Alberta Health Services and program lead for her team. "Apart from having unprecedented access to a Canadian and international network of senior leaders, the IHI Triple Aim program will give us a whole new tool kit for tackling our goals. We're grateful for the opportunity." Participating Canadian Organizations Over the course of 10 months, teams will focus on getting results in all three dimensions of the Triple Aim. Canadian teams and their population focus include: * Alberta Health Services, North Zone - Top Users from the complex high needs population with addictions and mental health diagnoses; * Alberta Health Services, Edmonton Zone - High risk, high cost emergency department patients (health system users who account for the largest percentage of health expenditures); * Grey Bruce Health Services, Ontario - Patients living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); * Peel Public Health, Ontario - Homeless and under-housed population; * Women's College Hospital, Toronto - High needs, high cost patients (1-5% high users with complex conditions) whose healthcare needs are better met outside of emergency departments and inpatient wards. * Canadian Mental Health Association, Toronto Branch - High risk, high cost individuals living with serious mental illness, nicotine dependency and other substance abuse issues (18-65 years old) who are at risk for developing chronic diseases. * McGill University Health Centre, Montreal - High risk, high cost stroke population; * Central Health, Newfoundland - High risk, high cost residents of the Central Region of Newfoundland who have a diagnosis of one or more chronic diseases; and * Eastern Health, Newfoundland - Patients occupying alternate level of care (ALC) beds including high risk, high cost individuals as well as frail elderly patients. All nine organizations are part of a larger international cohort participating in the 2013 IHI Triple Aim Improvement Community, which includes organizations from the United States, Denmark, Sweden and United Kingdom. Teams went through a vigorous selection process. The Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwRutq6m3YiestnYHcKVGXFBXzZm5VWeNQMY…> (CFHI) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to healthcare improvement and transformation for Canadians and is funded through an agreement with the Government of Canada. CFHI collaborates with governments, policy-makers, and health system leaders toconvert evidence and innovative practices into actionable policies, programs, tools and leadership development. - 30 - For information, please contact: Eileen Melnick McCarthy Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement 613.728.2238 ext. 233 eileen.melnickmccarthy(a)cfhi-fcass.ca<mailto:eileen.melnickmccarthy@cfhi-fcass.ca> Follow us on: <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwRYKG3gzpWuya-QrCHtm4CoLgelEhOZ1sEZ…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwSlgFerGcGNOMj3ipSEGikNPHz_KxmQDp3U…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwQL9tLuBg5GyP4BkvRr9k6lK11TvgkuGbvn…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwQD6mcq5iP-TGrZ2At30nkyNqqJk1kDwQAS…> © 2013 Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement.

Depuis qu'elles ont été mises en œuvre en 2007, les initiatives centrées sur le triple objectif de l'IHI ont permis aux organismes de partout dans le monde d'obtenir de meilleurs soins pour les patients et une meilleure santé pour la population, à moindre coût par habitant. De concert avec les membres du personnel et du corps enseignant de l'IHI qui sont associés au triple objectif, la FCASS fournira des conseils d'expert - adaptés au contexte canadien et alignés sur les priorités provinciales - aux équipes canadiennes. « Le gouvernement s'est engagé à soutenir les innovations qui améliorent les services de santé pour les Canadiens et les Canadiennes », a déclaré la ministre fédérale de la Santé Rona Ambrose. « Nous nous réjouissons que la FCASS rassemble des équipes de partout au pays et les appuie dans la mise en œuvre de projets axés sur la réduction des coûts des services de santé, l'amélioration des soins aux patients et l'amélioration de la santé de Canadiens et des Canadiennes. » « Le triple objectif de l'IHI est un excellent programme », affirme Maureen O'Neil, O.C, présidente, FCASS. « La FCASS soutient la participation de neuf équipes canadiennes, leur donne accès à des spécialistes et des conseillers, et crée des occasions pour les Canadiens de nouer des liens, d'apprendre les uns des autres et, finalement, de partager leur travail avec les systèmes de santé partout au pays. » En se fondant sur les six phases du projet mis à l'essai auprès de plus de 130 organismes dans le monde depuis 2006, l'IHI recommande un processus de changement qui comporte la détermination des populations cibles, la définition des objectifs et des mesures du système, l'élaboration d'un portefeuille de projets qui soient suffisamment solides pour transformer les résultats à l'échelle du système, ainsi que la mise à l'essai et le déploiement rapides et adaptés aux conditions et besoins locaux. De l'avis de l'IHI, les organisations et les communautés qui mènent à bien ce travail tiennent compte d'un éventail de déterminants collectifs de la santé, autonomisent les patients et les familles, élargissent considérablement le rôle et l'impact des soins de santé primaires et d'autres services communautaires, et assurent un parcours sans interruption dans le système de soins tout au long de la vie d'une personne, ce qui donne lieu à des soins moins complexes et beaucoup plus coordonnés, à une diminution de la charge de morbidité et à une intégration permettant aux parties prenantes indépendantes de s'aligner sur les besoins de la population. « Nous devons renforcer les capacités pour soutenir notre communauté », dit Donna Ouellette, directrice de l'amélioration de la qualité clinique, Services de santé Alberta, région du nord, et chef d'équipe du programme. « Le programme centré sur le triple objectif de l'IHI nous donne, en plus d'un accès sans précédent à un réseau canadien et international de hauts dirigeants, une toute nouvelle trousse à outils pour atteindre nos objectifs. Aussi sommes-nous reconnaissants de cette possibilité. » Organisations canadiennes participantes Pendant 10 mois à partir de septembre 2013, les équipes suivantes et leur population cible s'emploieront à obtenir des résultats dans les trois dimensions du triple objectif : * Services de santé Alberta, région du nord - principaux utilisateurs parmi la population ayant de forts besoins complexes et aux prises avec des problèmes de toxicomanie et de santé mentale * Services de santé Alberta, région d'Edmonton - patients des services d'urgence à haut risque et à coût élevé (utilisateurs des services de santé qui représentent la plus importante part des dépenses de santé) * Grey Bruce Health Services (Ontario) - patients atteints de maladie pulmonaire obstructive chronique (MPOC) * Bureau de santé publique de Peel - sans-abri et population mal logée * Women's College Hospital (Toronto) - patients à haut risque et à coût élevé (de 1 à 5 % des principaux utilisateurs ont besoin de soins complexes) pouvant recevoir des soins plus appropriés ailleurs que dans les services d'urgence et les services aux hospitalisés * Association canadienne pour la santé mentale, filiale de Toronto - personnes à haut risque et à coût élevé qui ont des problèmes de santé mentale et de dépendance à la nicotine ou à d'autres substances et qui sont susceptibles de développer des maladies chroniques * Centre universitaire de santé McGill (Montréal) - population à haut risque d'accident vasculaire cérébral et à coût élevé * Central Health (Terre-Neuve) - résidents à haut risque et à coût élevé de la région centrale de Terre-Neuve qui ont reçu un diagnostic d'une maladie chronique ou plus * Eastern Health (Terre-Neuve) - patients en attente d'un autre niveau de soins (ANS), notamment des patients à haut risque, à coût élevé ainsi que des malades âgés fragiles. Les neuf organismes font partie d'une plus vaste cohorte internationale qui participe à la Communauté d'amélioration centrée sur le triple objectif de cette année et qui comprend des organisations des États-Unis, du Danemark, de la Suède et du Royaume-Uni. Les équipes retenues ont dû subir un processus de sélection rigoureuse. La Fondation canadienne pour l'amélioration des services de santé<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwRPM-lKiB5kRjKzJOjVz9AzgPzhXhTOntG4…> (FCASS) est un organisme sans but lucratif qui a pour mandat d'accélérer l'amélioration et la transformation des services de santé pour les Canadiens et les Canadiennes. À cette fin, la FCASS collabore avec des gouvernements, des responsables des politiques et des dirigeants du système de santé pour traduire les données probantes et les pratiques novatrices en politiques, programmes et outils concrets, ainsi que pour développer les qualités de leadership. La FCASS est financée dans le cadre d'une entente conclue avec le gouvernement du Canada. - 30 - Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements : Eileen Melnick McCarthy Fondation canadienne pour l'amélioration des services de santé 613.728.2238, poste 233 eileen.melnickmccarthy(a)cfhi-fcass.ca<mailto:eileen.melnickmccarthy@cfhi-fcass.ca> Suivez-nous sur : [View our videos on YouTube] <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwRYKG3gzpWuya-QrCHtm4CoLgelEhOZ1sEZ…> [Like us on Facebook] <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwSlgFerGcGNOMj3ipSEGikNPHz_KxmQDp3U…> [Follow us on Twitter] <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwQL9tLuBg5GyP4BkvRr9k6lK11TvgkuGbvn…> [View our profile on LinkedIn] <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00168UQAtyJZwQD6mcq5iP-TGrZ2At30nkyNqqJk1kDwQAS…> © 2013 Fondation canadienne pour l'amélioration des services de santé.

MHIKNET Recommends: The Ojibwe People's Dictionary
by MHIK NET 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi Everyone, In Manitoba we have a variety of First Nations linguistic groups including Cree, Ojibwe, Dakota, Ojibwe-Cree, Dene. I happened across this resource this morning in the "Internet Scout Report" for today (vol 19, no 39) http://scout.wisc.edu/. I especially like the ability to search in English and hear the proper pronunciation of the Ojibwe term (eg. Heart). "The Ojibwe People's Dictionary http://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/ The Ojibwe People's Dictionary was created by faculty and students in the Department of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota. The project was the brainchild of Professor John Nichols who worked to digitally record Ojibwe elders as part of a research grant for the National Science Foundation's Endangered Languages Program. Working with a team of creative colleagues they decided to create this online dictionary which includes helpful documents, video clips, images, and elaborate illustrations. The How to Use the Ojibwe People's Dictionary section is a great place to start as it includes search tips as well as keys to Ojibwe parts of speech and regions of use. Visitors can also browse the dictionary or browse through the Cultural Galleries to look over some of the illustrative materials that include images from Ojibwe life, complete with background information on how to pronounce the related words and phrases. [KMG]" Does anyone else have any other recommendations? Sincerely, Carol -- Carol A.
