TRANSCRIPT
Katie Dainty, PhD
Katie Dainty, PhD joined NYGH in September 2017, aided by the dedicated work of the Foundation, as the Research Chair in Patient-Centred Outcomes. Katie is an Assistant Professor at the IHPME at the University of Toronto. She earned her PhD in Critical Qualitative Study of Collaborative ICU Quality Improvement from the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto. She is also appointed to the Program Area of Study Lead — Outcomes & Evaluation at the IHPME. Her work involves studying issues related to patient and family experience, organizational behaviour, implementation science, patient-centred outcome measures and quality improvement in community health care environments. Her current research focuses on the use of qualitative and mixed methods research to critically interrogate held assumptions about behaviour and culture and their impact on how we measure quality and health outcomes. On this subject, her study “Home Visit-Based Community Paramedicine and Its Potential Role in Improving Patient-Centered Primary Care: A Grounded Theory Study and Framework” published in the March issue of Health Services Research was recently highlighted in several media events. Katie’s project “Building Capacity for Patient Engagement & Priority-Setting in Resuscitation Science” was awarded a CIHR Patient-Oriented Research Collaboration Grant. She received the American Heart Association Young Investigator Award and the CIHR Rising Star Award.
Papers: In the January 22nd 2018 issue of the Journal of American Heart Association, Katie Dainty contributed to their meeting highlights entitled “The Latest in Resuscitation Science Research: Highlights from the American Heart Association's 2017 Resuscitation Science Symposium”.
In April 2018, Katie Dainty leading and corresponding author of the study “A Realist Evaluation of Value-Based Care Delivery in Home Care: The Influence of Actors, Autonomy and Accountability” received the news that the study was accepted for publication in the journal “Social, Science & Medicine”. In 2008, the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care in Ontario, Canada launched the Integrated Client Care Project (ICCP), a multi-faceted initiative to increase value by improving outcomes and shifting the home care sector to a bundled reimbursement system. Katie’s team was selected to conduct an independent evaluation of both the implementation and the impact of the ICCP with a view to measuring and understanding the individual components of the program and the way in which they influenced the ultimate outcomes of the project. Katie’s team applied a realist evaluation methodology in order to unpack the influences of contextual and mechanistic choices on the intended outcomes of the ICCP implementation. The schematic below shows the conversion from theory of value to the ICCP “puzzle piece”.

Their findings highlight how theoretical mechanisms were negatively impacted by strong contextual patterns and weak implementation which led to underwhelming outcomes. Autonomy of the participant organizations, lack of power within the implementation team to drive change, opacity of the goals of the program, and disregard for the impact of complex historical relations within the home care sector compounded to undermine the intended outcome. In the May 2018 issue of the “Resuscitation” journal, Katie Dainty, co-author of the Editorial “Life after cardiac arrest: The importance of engaging with the ‘forgotten patient’” highlighted that family members and partners’ of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients often witness or perform CPR, triggering in them a stressful situation that causes exceptional psychosocial needs, making the caregiver a “forgotten patient”. The analysis of the growing literature on this topic evidences that substantial post-traumatic stress continues in a significant percentage of caregivers even after a year of the event. The authors manifest the need of addressing this concern to better support the survival of the “forgotten patients” in sudden cardiac arrest. Presentations: On May 2nd, 2018, Katie Dainty, was an invited Key Note Speaker for the Canadian Emergency Research Network Annual Meeting, where she presented “Social Science is the new black: How Social Science can enhance the EMS Research Wardrobe”. In Florence, Italy on October 5th, 2018, Katie Dainty was invited by the American Heart Association to speak at their Emergency Cardiac Care Regional Meeting. Her presentation “Cutting Edge Resuscitation Science Overview” explored the present state of resuscitation science and gave an overview of a few of the more important papers which have recently been published to outline the lessons learned. Appointments & Awards: On May 9th, 2018, Katie Dainty was awarded the Institute of Medical Science 2018 Module Director Award for excellence in the development, direction and facilitation of an IMS graduate module from the Institute of Medical Science, University of Toronto.

Michelle Greiver, M.D., CCFP, FCFP
Dr. Michelle Greiver is the Gordon F. Cheesbrough Research Chair in Family and Community Medicine (funded by the Foundation) and Director of the University of Toronto Practice-Based Research Network (UTOPIAN) since September 2018. The Chair, named after one of NYGH’s greatest leaders and champions, is the first of its kind in Canada. Dr. Greiver succeeds Dr. Frank Sullivan, the inaugural Cheesbrough Chair. Dr. Greiver is a practicing Family Physician in North York and a Research Scientist in NYGH, she is also an Associate Professor and a Clinician Investigator in the Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) at the University of Toronto; and is an Adjunct Scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES). At NYGH, Dr. Greiver initiated and led the development of the Health Databank Collaborative. This project joins primary care Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and hospital data, enabling research on transitions of care. Dr. Greiver also leads the UTOPIAN team, a network of over 1,400 family physicians in practices within the 14 DFCM academic sites throughout the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. The network brings together DFCM researchers, primary care clinicians and practices from all its academic sites to answer important health care questions and translate findings into practice. On a national level, Dr. Greiver leads a team of more than 50 investigators in a research project to support primary care practices in optimizing care for older patients with polypharmacy. The SPIDER (Structured Process Informed by Data, Evidence and Research) study will be conducted in seven Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs) across five provinces in one of the largest PBRN-Quality Improvement (QI) collaborations in Canada.
Papers: In the March 2018 issue of npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine, Dr. Michelle Greiver leading and corresponding author to the publication of “Agreement between hospital and primary care on diagnostic labeling for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) in Toronto, Canada: a cross-sectional observational study”, identified low rates of labeling agreement for COPD and HF between a hospital and its primary care community in addition to missing labels in both settings. This publication further discusses the importance of improving the documentation of these COPD and HF high-cost conditions in order to be able to develop robust data bases that will ultimately be used to promote patient care as well as collaborative research initiatives.
In the March 2018 issue of the Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, Dr. Michelle Griever leading author of the publication “Would you like to add a weight after this blood pressure, doctor? Discovery of potentially actionable associations between the provision of multiple screens in primary care”, evidenced that current guidelines recommend screening for risk factors associated with chronic

team studied associations among the recording of chronic disease prevention, screening, and management (CDPSM) elements in EMRs and ranked important relationships between these elements. The study performed association rule mining methods that are currently used to explore relationships between numerous combinations of item sets, as may be encountered in medical transactional databases such as those found in primary care. The study suggests that this could contribute to planning new approaches for improving the recording of key chronic disease risk factors in primary care through prompts based on associations. Significantly, these associations could be used to implement data driven alerts leading to the improvement of primary care. Presentations: Dr. Michelle Greiver attended the North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) annual meeting in Chicago where on November 12th she delivered a talk entitled “Trends in Systemic Recording Errors of Blood Pressure and Association with Outcomes in Canada and UK Primary Care: a Retrospective Observational Study.” The presentation explains that in the recording of blood pressure (BP) end digit preference (EDP) and systematic bias is common, this can lead to errors in management
Appointments & Awards: In January 2018, Dr. Michelle Greiver received the news that NYGH has been approved to be the hub for the Diabetes Action Canada (DAC) data repository. DAC is a Strategic Patient Oriented Research (SPOR) Network in Diabetes and its Related Complications, part of the CIHR-SPOR Program in Chronic Disease. Its mission is to transform the health outcomes of people living with diabetes and its related complications. It will facilitate important and meaningful connections between patients, their primary healthcare providers, and specialists to improve health care with significant cost savings for the health system. The National Diabetes Data Repository was launched in June which is managed at NYGH. October of this year saw Dr. Michelle Greiver become a member of the DAC Steering Council and attend the national face to face meeting in Halifax on October 12th during the 21st Professional Conference and Annual Meeting. As a member of the Steering Council, Dr. Greiver will oversee all aspects of the workings of the DAC Strategy for the Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) Network.
and unfavourable health outcomes. A possible solution would be the use of Automatic Office BP (AOBP). The aim was to assess the correlation between trends in systematic BP recording errors and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The use of AOBP was associated with a decrease in EDP levels. Adverse cardiovascular outcomes were of a higher frequency at sites with higher rates of EDP. The conclusion of this presentation was that routine use of automated office-based BP measurement should be standard for all relevant consultations.

Clinical trials feature prominently in our strategy to build research capacity. Two years ago, we created the new position of Clinical Trials Manager and hired Munaza Jamil. She built a team and connected successfully with various clinical trials sponsors to increase the scope of treatment options available to patients. Munaza moved on in January, 2018 and we are thrilled that Maria Schlag has taken the lead. Maria brings extensive experience with clinical trials at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. As shown below, 16 clinical trials have started since November 2013 and many more are under consideration.
Every clinical trial must be approved by a Research Ethics Board (REB), which safeguards the rights of participants. The NYGH REB belongs to the Clinical Trials Ontario’s elite group of qualified REB’s in Ontario. The journey to become qualified was anything but trivial and this is a significant achievement by the members of the REB and the supporting staff.

“The thing about ideas is that they naturally inspire new ones. This is why places that facilitate idea sharing tend to become more productive and innovative than those that don’t. Because
when ideas are shared, the possibilities do not add up. They multiply.” Paul Romer, Economist.
NYGH is extremely well positioned to improve and transform patient care through endless development. This transformation is assured by the key role R&I plays contributing to quality, efficiency and excellence in patient-centred care. A necessary precursor for innovation to occur is to have a well-established academic foundation for the dissemination and development of new ideas. This academic foundation emerged four years ago and continues to grow by improving key health care aspects of this leading community hospital. Since then, R&I has been working in a collaborative open space encouraging communications and ideas exchange at internal and external levels.
R&I Communications Strategy
Certainly, the more the knowledge is used and shared the more it enriches the research leading to innovations for better patient care. The R&I communication strategy has been established along these lines where research achievements are communicated through the NYGH R&I external website, peer-reviewed publications involving NYGH staff and physicians, oral and poster conference presentations as well as mass media (see Appendix II), media showcases, NYGH Research Spotlight and the North York General Foundation promotion. We are currently assisting a flourishing time where our research has been part of different mass media systems promoting our communication strategy. An important aspect of our communication strategy is to not use paid advertising as well as to not produce a printed annual R&I report which is customarily done by many research institutions. Instead, our accomplishments are promoted by free mass media that is known to play a critical role in the connection between science and society, as well as this Annual Report in PDF format. We believe that money should be used to generate more research and innovation achieving the ultimate goal of contributing to the improvement of healthcare. On this line, we have periodical meetings with NYGH communications experts to better thrust our communication strategy as is shown in the NYGH news below.

Our progress at this early stage is reflected in various indicators of research productivity. As shown earlier, external funding for research has grown from essentially zero in 2014 to $1.5 million in 2018. Appendix II shows that NYGH is gaining recognition for research and innovation. Our researchers are invited more and more to national and international conferences. And they are publishing more. The chart on the right shows the number of peer-reviewed publications in each calendar year climbing steadily. The actual list tracked by PubMed is maintained on our website and a list of the publications is captured in Appendix III.
In December 2012, NYGH launched the Exploration Fund, a competitive granting competition designed to provide initial funding for staff and physicians to develop new ideas for the delivery of care. Among the first of its kind in Canada, the Exploration Fund was seeded with a donation by Brad and Kathy Badeau, and their contribution has been augmented by the hospital, the North York General Foundation, the Sellors Family, and the Savlov Family.
The Sellors Family Research Grant is a designated time-limited fund within the Exploration Fund, to support research in the areas of autoimmune disease, neurology, and quality of life. The Savlov Family Paediatric Endowment Fund is a fund that supports clinical research and/or education — all pursuits to benefit paediatric care across all disciplines and departments at NYGH.
The Exploration Fund has funded 39 projects, listed below, to a wide range of promising investigators, from a surgeon studying the effects of music on children undergoing elective surgery, to a geriatric emergency nurse trying multisensory interventions to help calm patients with dementia.
