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. From 2019-2020\, Hilary completed a Health System Impact Fellowship (doctoral stream) with City of Hamilton Public Health Services. Hilary returned to Halifax in 2020 and is thrilled to contribute to projects and research related to health promotion in schools\, child health and well-being\, and healthy equity.

The framework is adaptable and can be used to plan and evaluate patient engagement before\, during and at the end of a research project. The framework encourages continuous reflection to sustain a learning health system that truly considers the needs\, priorities and perspectives of patients\, communities and citizens. \nJoin us to hear how the framework was co-designed by a diverse national coalition\, learn about the framework and its guiding principles\, and discuss how it can be applied in practice. Following the presentation\, there will be a Q&A discussion\, where speakers will be joined by Dr. Robin Urquhart. \nExplore the framework online \nParticipants are invited to explore an interactive version of the framework online and reflect on how the various elements impact their work – and bring their questions to the session.
