Webinar Series: Care Forward – What's Next at HEC

As part of Care Forward, a pan-Canadian movement focused on making care better for over a million people across the country, Healthcare Excellence Canada with supporting organizations are launching new offerings that provide participants with funding, resources and coaching to drive impact on four key priorities: expanding care access, helping more people age where they call home, advancing person-centred long-term care and strengthening the health workforce.

Join our webinar series to explore these offerings and how you can get involved:

• Right Care Challenge supports health and social care organizations to launch or enhance initiatives that ensure patients receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place—all while helping reduce avoidable emergency department visits.

• Enhancing Integrated Care supports primary and community care organizations to strengthen integrated team-based care models, including virtual care, making access easier and reducing pressure on emergency departments.

• Paramedics and Social Prescribing helps paramedic teams use social prescribing to connect clients with local community services, improving overall health and wellbeing.

• Primary Care Access Improvement helps team-based primary care organizations create efficiencies and optimize team functioning, so patients receive timely care, regardless of urgency or demand.

• Nursing Home Without Walls supports jurisdictions across the country to bring nursing home support and services to older adults in their own homes, helping them age safely and comfortably where they already live.

• Sparking Change in Appropriate Use of Antipsychotics Awards Program provides long-term care homes across Canada with support to use person-centered approaches to reduce potentially inappropriate antipsychotic use. (Open for registration now)
