What Next?
IN HINDSIGHT
THERE IS FORESIGHT
To the best ability, prepare for challenges related to rapidly evolving healthcare system and aging services network
Know the capacity, commitments and direction of key partners to inform plans for sustainability
The infrastructure to support ongoing provision of evidence based programs including CDSMP continues to develop in this changing climate and may be challenged with limited funding, reduced staff and the growing demand to respond to increasing need for prevention programs and self management care options
Learnings• “The resources and tools we have been working with are packaged into one.”• “Curriculum overview is critical; it is to the point and user-friendly.” “They (the
physician and the participant) know what they are signing up for.”• “The Implementation Timeline helps to understand the level of investment;
commitments are clear in the roles and responsibilities. It is what I use to create a Partner Agreement and would consider for contractual work.”
• “The research and outcomes sections are good selling points to get physicians to buy into a ‘community based program”.
• “The templates have been very helpful, such a time and money saver.”• “Ongoing support is important.” “The practice may have some difficulty getting
going, or keeping it going.”
Challenges
• It is not consistently used with all practices. • “I still find I create documents, especially to present to other groups.”• “It not easy to access”• “Still have trouble getting in the door at the doctors’ offices”
• Planning for updated Toolkit
