It takes considerable organizational effort and resources to understand complex problems and develop appropriate strategies. In recent years\, the Nova Scotia College of Pharmacists (NSCP) has been working to achieve just this. Since 2018\, they have invested in an embedded researcher role\, and worked to establish meaningful relationships with academic and consultant researchers. This effort is exemplified in their Staffing and Workload Initiative for Safety and Effectiveness (StaffWISE) project\, which has collected more than one million data points to better understand the relationships between pharmacy staffing\, practitioner wellbeing\, and quality of care. This has led to the implementation of a new Pharmacy Staffing Level policy\, as well as broader opportunities to understand the pharmacies they regulate. Join us to learn more about the NSCP’s data-driven approach to their work and how this supports a culture of learning within the organization. \n \n Register\n \nMeet our Speakers\n \nDr. Andrea Bishop\nDirector\, Research and Engagement\, Nova Scotia College of Pharmacists\nDr. Bishop is the Director of Research and Engagement at the NSCP. Dr. Bishop completed a PhD at Dalhousie University in 2013 exploring patient engagement in patient safety. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Saint Mary’s University in organizational psychology\, as well as another fellowship in behavioural and implementation science at the IWK Health Centre that explored communication behaviours across transitions of care. Dr. Bishop was a founding member of SafetyNET-Rx\, a research and outreach program that encouraged and supported an open dialogue regarding medication errors and quality within community pharmacies in Nova Scotia. At the NSCP\, she hosted the Wicked Problems Summits in 2018 and 2019\, facilitating nation-wide dialogue on wicked problems facing the profession. Dr. Bishop holds an adjunct faculty position with the College of Pharmacy\, Dalhousie University. \n \nEric Coates\nDirector\, Professional Services\, Nova Scotia College of Pharmacists\nEric Coates is the Director of Professional Services at the NSCP. In this role he is responsible for overseeing Quality Assurance\, Pharmacy Practice\, and Professional Accountability. Before joining the College\, Eric spent nine years in various leadership roles at Nova Scotia Health. Most recently\, he held dual positions as Clinical Director of the Halifax Infirmary Emergency Department and Central Zone Director of Clinical Transformation. He also served as a Health Services Manager in Emergency Departments located in Windsor\, Sackville\, and Halifax\, along with a brief tenure as a Quality and Patient Safety Leader in the NSH Accreditation Unit. Eric brings a depth of experience in quality improvement\, patient safety principles\, clinical practice standards\, and interdisciplinary leadership. As a leader in Emergency Medicine and former paramedic\, he has successfully implemented process improvements\, conducted quality reviews and developed new care pathways.

Whether operating from specially equipped vans or community clinics\, these interdisciplinary healthcare teams are continuously learning and adapting to meet the needs of Nova Scotians\, particularly those from underserved communities. There are several ways that the team generates knowledge to drive service and quality improvement including end-of-shift reports\, client surveys\, and ongoing feedback. An evaluation and engagement process helped inform the evolution of this public health program. In this session\, Holly Gillis and Louise Hanavan will share how engagement is informing the role of Public Health Mobile Units after the pandemic—and some tips for engaging interested parties in health service improvement. \n  \nLearn more and find a Public Health Mobile Unit near you. \nLearn more about the evaluation and engagement work Public Health Mobile Unit | Engage4Health \n \n Watch the recording\n \nMeet our speakers\n \nHolly Gillis\nDirector\, Public Health Mobile Units\, Nova Scotia Health\nHolly joined Public Health in 2007 as a Health Promoter after working for the Canadian Cancer Society-Nova Scotia Division and South Shore Community Services Association.  Over her time with Nova Scotia Health\, she has had a progressive leadership path across many roles including Project Manager Innovation and Transformation\, School Health Manager\, Operations Coordinator\, Healthy Communities Manager.

In this session\, three Health System Impact fellows will briefly present their fellowship activities\, reflecting on how they support Learning Health System (LHS) approaches in Nova Scotia. A panel discussion will follow the presentations.  \n \n Register for the webinar\n \nAbout the Speakers\n \nDr. Mari Somerville \nHealth System Impact Fellow\, IWK Health – Improving patient safety through LHS implementation \n  \nMari is a CIHR Health System Impact Postdoctoral Fellow with IWK Health and Dalhousie University. Her program of research involves understanding the science of learning health systems and using these findings to implement evidence-based patient safety recommendations across IWK Health. Mari will share her recent work on applying a behaviour change framework to understand the root cause of precursor level safety events within the health centre.  Previously\, Mari completed a Master of Public Health with an emphasis in Global Health and Nutrition\, and completed her PhD at Griffith University in Australia. Mari also has a BSc in Nutrition and is a Registered Dietitian.  \n \nDr. Brittany Barber \nHealth System Impact Fellow\, IWK Health – Advancing Environmentally Sustainable LHSs \nBrittany is a CIHR Health System Impact Postdoctoral Fellow at IWK Health and Dalhousie University. Brittany completed her PhD at Dalhousie University where she investigated how to adapt health interventions for prevention of chronic diseases by applying geo-spatial methods and behavioural economic principles to collect spatiotemporal information about the contexts of patients’ day-to-day routines to strengthen behaviour change interventions. Her doctoral research provided expertise of interdisciplinary theory and methods for addressing complex health challenges\, like integrating contexts of patients’ behaviours within clinical settings to improve design of health services. Working with IWK Health\, Brittany is addressing environmentally sustainable health system change by improving implementation of data to advance a culture of rapid learning and effectiveness of low-carbon health service delivery. Her program of work advances implementation of environmentally sustainable learning health systems and contributes innovative ways of using real-time clinical and administrative data for informed decision-making in practice. \n  \n \nDr. Hilary Caldwell \nHealth System Impact Fellow\, NS Dept. of Education and Early Childhood Development – Creating healthy\, active schools \nHilary is a CIHR Health System Impact Fellow with the Healthy Populations Institute at Dalhousie University and the Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. Hilary studied Kinesiology at Dalhousie University and then completed her MSc and PhD degrees in Kinesiology at McMaster University. Hilary’s graduate research focused on physical activity\, fitness\, physical literacy and health in preschoolers and school-age children.
