Objective
Picking Up the Pace will highlight primary healthcare innovations, with a focus on sharing the successes and challenges of implementation. Participants – from across disciplines and across the country – will consider strategies for adapting successful and promising initiatives to other parts of Canada.
Why we need Picking Up the Pace
The purpose of Picking up the Pace is to provide tangible examples of how to implement changes that strengthen healthcare in Canada. To find and select the more than 40 innovations serving as these examples, CHSRF pulled together a national steering committee. Co-chaired by Dr. Brian Hutchison and Dr. Denis A. Roy, regional teams identified and proposed programs that have been successfully implemented and have the potential to spread. The national committee then selected 47 innovations organized under 15 themes, including access and hard-to-reach populations. (Consult the full program to find out what innovations the committee selected.)
This year Picking up the Pace is focusing on primary healthcare. It’s well documented that Canada lags other countries in its efforts to improve primary healthcare. Achieving sustainable change in this country is not easy – there is no well-worn path to follow. Despite the challenges, pockets of successful innovation do exist throughout Canada and Picking Up the Pace will draw out what we can learn from those that are working well.
Picking Up the Pace reflects CHSRF’s commitment to help accelerate change in healthcare. (Read our strategic priorities.)
