MEASURING WHAT MATTERS AOHC CONFERENCE, JUNE 2016 SRCHC brings people in all people feel heard... This in turn gives the community many great advantages. A healthy community is a strong community and together we all grow stronger..(client survey 2015)
QUESTIONS? What steps has your organization taken to reflect the work of health promotion? What is the one question you want to ask your peers about their work, measuring what matters, the work of health promotion?
Upstream Drivers of Health Like all health care providers, I quickly learned that it takes more than medicine to make people healthy. It takes clean water. Safe housing. A basic education. Economic opportunities. Freedom from violence and conflict. These are the social determinants of health. They are the responsibility of not just health ministers, but of the whole of government without fair access to these upstream drivers of health, we will continue to face inequity, regional disparities and vulnerable populations. (Minister of Health, Jane Philpot, May 23, 2016)

Health Promotion Programming at SRCHC FY 15-16 12% Registered clients accessed at least one health promotion program last year Reach -860 people registered to attend a health promotion program -47 registered groups Sessions -652 session held -12% are at off-site locactions -Average of three groups per work day Attendance -7,338 and average of 9 sessions attended for each person registered. Chronic Disease 25 groups Children & Families 6 groups Health & Wellness 16 groups
Reflections? 2013, only 5.15% of total healthcare expenditures in Canada was allocated to public health/health promotion activities How many individuals are accessing health promotion programs at community health centres across the province? Are health promotion programs an access point for other services at community health centres? Who is accessing health promotion programs at health - centres?
SETTING THE STAGE: HEALTH PROMOTION STORIES
At the Frontline: How We Work Client Feedback
At the Frontline: The Client G is 33 years old, living at a local shelter with her two children aged 2 and 4yrs. She has been living in the country for two months. A friend at the shelter suggested she come to the Parenting Group. The group has ongoing registration and she starts attending, with her two children, on a weekly basis. After four weeks, G attends a session on sexual health presented by an NP. At the end of the group, she stays behind to chat with the HP staff. She mentions she is feeling really stressed and has no one to talk and also needs help with her refugee application.
At the Frontline: Integration and Improved Health Outcomes HP connects G to the program Social Worker ---where they address a range of issues related to housing and her refugee application. At her third meeting with the social worker, G says that she thinks she is pregnant and doesn t know what to do. An appointment is arranged with a NP to discuss options. G has been connected with SRCHC for over two years. She is housed, her children are in daycare/ school. She is in school and preparing to apply to college. She has also secured a part-time job. She continues to struggle with anxiety and depression and accesses a range of services at SRCHC (health promotion programming & projects, clinical, social work, physiotherapist.).
At the Front Line: Improved Health Outcomes The project made me realize that art is an avenue or way to express our deep innermost feeling such as, feelings of depression, neglect and isolation. But also we can translate those emotions into something beautiful and by using art we can begin to heal
SRCHC S JOURNEY
Our Challenge: How Do We Document the Work of Health Promotion How we work? Who is accessing programs? How do we reflect the complexity of the issues we address in health promotion programs? Are we connecting clients/service users to internal and external services? What partners do we work with?
Our Approach: We Don t Need to Reinvent the Wheel
SRCHC Journey Framework: Development of Evaluation Template Demonstrate: Data Dashboard S F P D C Structure: Work Group Process: Workflow Improvements Celebrate: Telling Stories
Structure Health Promotion Evaluation Work Group Membership Health Promotion staff, Data Management Coordinator, Manager of Newcomers and Families Team and Manager of QI Mandate Design of evaluation framework(s) Provide input into the development of indicators that measure the relevancy, efficiency and effectiveness of programs. Develop a NOD data reporting tool framework for personal development groups. Team Different Perspectives, & Different Roles Transparency Sharing Our Work, Learning From Each Other & Identify Common Approaches/Themes QI Framework Small Tests of Change
Framework Evaluation Framework for Health Promotion Groups Framework to support planning and evaluation (appendix one) What are the goals for the group? All group programs plan work around common themes: Program Planning - Community Development Community outreach & engagement Peer & volunteer engagement Knowledge exchange (content and process) Each of these areas team defined objectives, outcomes, indicators, processes, and leads for different parts of the project Reflection: This was a good starting point it helped identify common objectives, common challenges, ways of streamlining work etc.
Process Process Improvements: Mapping Workflows NOD Group Registration Client Registration Attendance Encountering/ Referral Standardized registration form for all group programs (appendix two) Admin team inputs client registration into NOD If over 20 clients attending group, admin encounters attendance Standardize the use of Encodes for issues addressed and designed internal referral process in NOD for group programs
Process Process Improvements: Outcomes Analysis Demonstrate Develop systems for improving how we encounter work Efficient Admin team help with registration and attendance - focus for HP team is on planning & delivering programs Standardize People using common processes and tools to get work completed.
Looking at the Data: Developing a Health Promotion Dashboard Access Sociodemographic profile of clients New Clients Determinants of Health Issues addressed in group programming Integration Client Journeyinternal and external referrals in one-toencounters
NOD Health Promotion Dashboard Program Planning Program Delivery/Monitoring Outcomes Inputs Program Components Activities Outputs Short Term Outcomes Intermediate Outcomes Staff Partners Group Sessions Individual Follow-up Language of Service Provision # sessions # sessions with internal staff # sessions with partners sociodemographi c analysis (NOD registration # clients # new clients total attendance Average # participants each group Issues addressed in group programming Number of issues addressed in programming Issues addressed mapped to Health Promotion Program Interventions Client Journey # unique individuals served outside group #direct and indirect encounters # encounters by provider type Issues addressed by providers (clinical/allied health)
Demonstrate Looking at the Results: Data From NOD Team members using different codes for similar work Minimum encountering of issues addressed in groups Work that was being done not reflected in encounter data Pulling data was difficult and we did not know how many individuals accessing group programs were accessing other services at the centre
Demonstrate Data Improvement Plan Map Encounters What issues are you addressing in groups? 33 encodes used by HP staff Mapped encodes to Model of Health and Well Being and Organization Objectives (Appendix Four) Consistency Agreed to reflect range of issues addressed Also use common codes based on discussion of Health Promotion Interventions Make it easy! Set the Encodes up as favourities in NOD Chapter X- social and community codes Results 47% increase in the number of issues addressed in group programming Better reflects work of health promotion
Demonstrate Shared Health Promotion Interventions Barriers to Access Map Encounters Determinants of Consistency Health Approach Results Transportation Social Isolation Health Education Social Support Food Security
Demonstrate Improvements Made: Small Test of Change Transportation Health Education Almost doubled the number of issues addressed in group programming compared to previous 3 month period (261to 495) Social Support Food Insecurity Social Isolation 0 20 40 60 Number of Encounters 2015 2016 Better reflection of health promotion work being done, especially re: food insecurity and access issuestransportation
