New to our annual conference this year, CAPHC would like to invite our delegates to choose and participate in a breakfast symposium with CAPHC’s partners and fellow collaborators. The following sessions are being offered to our delegates.
Planning for a Brighter Future in Child Health with the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) Portal
Each year the CIHI Portal team at the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) strives to provide users with a high quality product and new and exciting features. Come and hear what the Portal team has been up to since the last CAPHC conference and what we have in store for the coming year. Some of the new features already available to users include: access to your own record level data, grouped Quebec data, income level data and custom dashboards.
TELUS Health Solutions - Ontario’s electronic Child Health Network puts kids first
As Canada's first province-wide integrated electronic health record, the electronic Child Health Network (eCHN) is revolutionizing the sharing of children's health information among Ontario's medical professionals. All authorized health care professionals involved in the ""circle of care"" for a specific patient, many in different locations, are allowed to access the eCHN secure network where vital patient information is made available.
Come hear Andrew Szende, eCHN’s CEO, present their most recent developments, including eCHN's unique implementation of best practices for data quality and normalization to better service pediatric hospitals and other pediatric health organizations in Ontario.
Health Canada - First Nations Inuit Health Branch: Diabetes and Pregnancy in First Nations Communities - How can we Address Gaps in Information?
Although recent evidence has suggested that the increased prevalence of diabetic pregnancies among First Nations women may play a key role in the risk for future type 2 diabetes and obesity, little information exists on related health status indicators and care processes on-reserve. The Diabetes and Pregnancy TeleForm Project (DPTP) team will present to CAPHC delegates a community-driven pilot initiative to collect health information related to risk factors, weight management, care processes and pre- and post-pregnancy outcomes in relation to gestational diabetes. In addition, delegates will have an opportunity to hear about recent research on the intra- and intergenerational cycle of diabetes and the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions to prevent obesity and diabetes among First Nations women.
As a CAPHC tradition, our “Temperature Check” provides an informal and highly engaging opportunity to explore a wide variety of issues that are important to the future health and well being of our children and youth.This session is designed specifically for our delegates to express their thoughts and opinions, bring forward suggestions, highlight emerging opportunities and identify areas for CAPHC to move forward on their behalf. It is our delegates who lead this annual conference session, and we look forward to your input and participation!
Moderators: Bette Boechler, Director, Maternal and Children’s Services, Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon Health Region, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Treasurer, CAPHC, Board of Directors; and Kathryn Hayward-Murray, VP, Strategy, Quality & Organizational Performance, Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga ON, CAPHC Board of Directors.

CAPHC 2011 Motivational Symposium - Ed’s Story: The Dragon Chronicles
Ed is a trickster, a skater, a gamer, a brother, son and friend. He’s the kid who moons the whole school on a dare and the guy who always sticks up for the underdog. Ed is a sensitive young man with an aggressive cancer. From Ed’s journal entries, and interviews with his circle of family, friends and healthcare team, a “verbatim” portrait is drawn of a boy on the verge of adulthood fighting not only a medical battle, but a battle to experience his life on his terms.
CAPHC is honoured to bring this “live play” which was developed from clinical care experiences, to the CAPHC 2011 Annual Conference. Ed’s Story: The Dragon Chronicles, an Atlantic Fringe Festival Hit, has been shared as public performances at Dalhousie University’s Medical School, Pediatric Grand Rounds and the International Congress on Palliative Care to unanimously rave reviews.
This performance at the CAPHC Conference will be followed by discussion with several of those involved in the project, the play’s development, and impact on changing practice! Truly a motivational symposium you will not want to miss!12:30pm - 14:30pm:
Networking Lunch - Attended Posters & Exhibit Fair
CAPHC is delighted to welcome all delegates to the 2011 Poster and Exhibit Fair! Come and mingle with your friends and colleagues, enjoy some flavorful treats and libations as we showcase many innovative and transformative child and youth health research and clinical programs from across the country!
This poster session will feature attended posters on Family Centred Care and Innovation in Clinical Practice.

Our 2011 Poster and Exhibit Fair is truly an integral part of the conference that you will not want to miss!
Concurrent Sessions:
At this year’s conference, CAPHC will be offering delegates a series of concurrent sessions throughout the afternoon. Our 2011 speakers will focus on the following child and youth health related themes, providing unique opportunities to listen, learn and share!
Concurrent Session 1 - Delivering Primary Health Care to Children: The Art and Science of Translating Current Research into Practice - and Vice Versa?
In this interactive session, participants will be informed, challenged and empowered to explore the opportunities for, and barriers to, encouraging research uptake in primary, secondary and tertiary care for children. The panelists will guide the discussion and will provide illustrative examples from their own experiences of effective planning, development, and implementation of research-driven patient- and family-centred care.
The session will encourage delegates to call upon their knowledge and expertise to:
- Explore the challenges and identify the barriers in bringing research to practice, and to explore the barriers in bringing practice to the research table;
- Consider examples of effective development and implementation of research-driven practice; and
- Reflect on additional practical issues and resources available in their own communities when attempting to bridge the research - practice gap.

Concurrent Session 2 - Best in Practice Medication Systems: Improving Quality and Safety Measures
Today’s hospitals face an ever increasing demand for quality and safety in delivering care. The public is growing less tolerant of safety infractions where they affect their loved one, the patient. Each hospital across the country is accredited by Accreditation Canada whose programs for quality and safety have become even more comprehensive and demanding of performance and robust system design.
Medications are the single most common form of treatment in a hospital setting, including paediatric centres. Medication service touches every patient during their hospital stay.
This session will focus on quality and safety standards of the medication system, the development of technology to assist in the process and the bar code technology that ties everything together.
Participants should leave with an improved understanding of how a high performance medication system achieves best in class quality and safety – by embracing the healthcare providers involved, by deploying the appropriate technology and by using the bar code to tie everything together into the patient record. The result is a comprehensive and integrated medication system delivering best in class quality and safety.
CAPHC is delighted to welcome the following speakers to this session:
Moderator: Mr. Richard Jones, Senior Vice President Pharmacy, Medbuy Corporation
Concurrent Session 3 - Social Media and Healthcare - New Connections, Changing Boundaries:
Social media is not a technology of the future, but is part of daily life for many of us. The question is how is healthcare leveraging the use of social media and social networking? Many of our institutions have dipped their toe into the social media waters to enhance patient/community outreach, dispense medical information, and share news about their latest activity. Are we fully using these tools to further our ultimate goals of engaging with our families and improving health outcomes for children and youth, and, are families, children and youth making full and good use of these tools to connect with other families, organizations and staff who are their partners?
This session will not only look at how the tools of social media are affecting our children and youth from a health perspective, but will also examine how these tools can be used as a platform to engage families, deliver health services, facilitate patient care and improve health outcomes. We will also look at the risks and challenges associated with social media on a) our children and youth (ie: cyber-bullying), and b) our organizations (privacy and security of personal and health information, therapeutic boundary issues).
CAPHC is delighted to welcome the following speakers to this exciting session;
Concurrent Session 4 - Health Records and Health Information: Making Information Work for Us:
Many leaders in health reform have identified that a key challenge for our health system is the inability to adopt robust information systems across jurisdictions that support clinical decision making and quality improvement.Electronic health records have been promised as the answer to an efficient, safe health system, but where are we in the adoption of eHRs, and will we realize all the benefits that have been promised. Consumer or personal health records are receiving a lot of attention, but what are they, how are they different from an electronic health records, and what will be the role of our health centres in interacting with this information. What about other sources of data, such as CIHI, eCHIN, and the rest of the alphabet soup?
This session will not only take a look at the road ahead for health information systems, but will also be a chance to identify opportunities for integrating various sources of information and take a look at what might be possible in extracting data that can help support better clinical decisions and quality improvement.
CAPHC is delighted to welcome the following speakers to this session:
We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all our delegates. As we continue to celebrate this year’s conference in our Nation's Capital, we will be entertained by The North West Mounted Police Dixieland Band who will be joining us to kick off the evening!
