Special Interest: Actioning Person Centred Care

Background- Person centred care, care that recognises and honours the unique experiences and conditions of patients, caregivers, families and community is a core component of the quintuple aim but remains poorly understood and seldomly actioned within and across the health and social care systems. Why are we conducting this meeting? At the International Conference on Integrated Care this past spring in Belfast, Northern Ireland we launched a Special Interest Group (SIG) on Actioning Person Centred Care. We are hosting a SIG Meeting at NACIC to share our findings, gain consensus on future directions and build out our North American chapter. Who would we like to engage with? We welcome people with lived experience of health and social care patient and caregiver partners, health and social care providers, decision makers, scientists, managers, volunteers and other community members interested in learning how to build a more person-centred health and social care system. How are we going to engage the audience?At this workshop we will share our key learnings from the ICIC conference which centred around points related to helpful capture and use of people information and related issues around diversity and inclusion; how to optimize policy practice change based on patient voice; building relationships to enable learning within and across organisations and systems. We will then introduce a policy conceptual framework developed by Wu, Ramesh and Howlett (205) to further action our goals as a SIG. This framework suggests that for a context to be receptive to change you need: ) analytic capacity, 2) operational capacity and 3) policy capacity. In small working groups, we will use this framework to outline and map our SIG goals for the next 2 months.
