PART ONE – Yes We Can! Results from a pan-Canadian QI collaborative to improve frailty care within primary and community care

This session will engage attendees with lessons learned and results from Advancing Frailty Care in the Community (AFCC), a multi-year pan-Canadian quality improvement collaborative launched in 2019 by Healthcare Excellence Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Frailty Network. The programme supported healthcare teams from across Canada to adapt and implement evidence-informed innovations to improve the identification, assessment and management of frailty in primary care. 

This session will shed light on how 17 sites in primary and community care implemented aspects of four leading frailty innovations within their local setting despite the many challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.

After this session, participants will be able to: 

• Identify key lessons learned and results from this collaborative


• Describe different approaches used by participating sites in the collaborative to improve the identification, assessment and management of frailty in primary care


• Cite examples of how participating sites adapted their approach to identify, assess and/or manage frailty during the Covid-19 pandemic

PART TWO – Building communities as the best place to live – a focus on prevention and improved outcomes for young and old

Global strategic partners of IHI have been collaborating to tackle some of the most challenging population health needs of society today; ensuring a good start in life for children and young people and supporting community health and wellbeing for families and older adults. In Sweden, a national strategy addresses healthy living and local communities are learning together, taking an improvement approach to deliver impactful changes. Learn from the experience of IHI and their partners from Sweden, Scotland and Cincinnati who are collectively taking on the challenge and delivering exciting work.

After this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand the complexity of systems and services related to the health and wellbeing of communities


• Explore how multiagency working creates opportunities to think and act differently


• Consider the need for focus on preventative work to support improved health outcomes for future generations and take away transferable learning for local systems
