True to our intentions, we have worked tirelessly in 2023-2024 to build scientific and experiential knowledge and, above all, to apply it. Our scientific programming was brilliantly realized through our scientific axes and the provincial partnership community Experiences, which enriched the Unit’s LHS toolbox and promoted the use of knowledge by our field teams (SSA-RUISSS teams) in the context of improvement projects. Congradulations and thank you to the members of the SSA Quebec support Unit.
Several ministerial mandates demonstrates the relevance of the Unit and the quality of the work carried out by our teams. Indeed, the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS) has entrusted us with mandates at the strategic level (Position Statement on Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)), tactical level (Guidelines and Model for Learning Family Medicine Groups (FMG)), and operational level (facilitation and reflexivity via COMPAS+ and provincial practice community in CQI).
The enthusiasm for CQI is undeniable and good news. The MSSS, Santé Québec, and the Institutes of Health Research of Canada (CIHR) are in sync as they make it a priority.
Convinced that partnership work is key to solidifying the science-practice bridge, we have strengthened teamwork with the University Health and Social Services Networks (RUISSSs) through meetings with their CEOs and General Managers. This was an opportunity to communicate and reinforce our orientations and to maintain our links with the health and social services sectors. Furthermore, we continue our statutory meetings with the Research and Internal Coordination and the Quality departments of the MSSS to share our work and understand the ministry’s priorities.
In 2023-2024, we also engaged in public discourse. We cannot overlook the participation of Catherine Wilhelmy, patient partner co-director of our unit and co-leader for the community of patient partners EXPÉRIENCES, in the transition committee which has the important mandate of preparing the merger at Santé Québec. We also highlight our interventions in parliamentary commission, our involvement in two projects of Bill 15 on improving the healthcare system (User experience and quality of care and services and Research, teaching, innovation, and philanthropy) and the submission of a brief.
All of this is just a glimpse of the colossal work accomplished. Dive into the knowledge and achievements in this activity report. Enjoy the report!
