We need your input!

We received tremendous response from our recent survey on a proposed certification program for regional interdisciplinary teams. Our next step is to conduct focus groups to further inform the details of the program. We are seeking additional input to help select indicators to measure teams’ achievement of excellence in Collaborative Care, and to further define the program format and incentive structure.

The focus groups will be approximately an hour and a half hour in length and will be conducted at 650 Main Street by the Winnipeg Health Region’s Research and Evaluation units. Parking costs will be reimbursed.

We are seeking feedback from managers, physicians, direct care staff, educators, etc. If you know of someone who would be interested in participating, please tell them about it.

Interested participants should contact Mona Lesage at mlesage@wrha.mb.ca or 926-7047 to schedule a time to attend one of the focus groups. The dates are as follows:

Physicians            May 14^th, 2012              7:00 am – 8:30 am
Nurses                  May 15^th, 2012              2:30 pm – 4:00 pm
