  1. Facilitating the Transfer of Dementia CareKnowledge into Action CoP Leads: David Harvey, Ken LeClair Information Specialist: Lindsay Ogilvie Coordinator - Knowledge Brokering: Megan Harris Coordinator - Logistics and Operations: Karen Parrage

  2. AKE Origins Ontario’s Strategy for Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias 1999-2004 Think Tank – Future Planning for People with ADRD Coming Together to Shape the Future – Invitational Workshop ADRD Community of Interest Transition Project 2004-2006 Transition Project Coordinating Grp (Roundtable) on Future Planning for People with ADRD Provincial Alzheimer Group (PAG) Alzheimer Knowledge Exchange (AKE) Staff Education & Training Steering Committee Dementia Networks Physician Education Steering Committee

  3. AKE Goals As outlined in our 2008-9 strategic plan for the MOH: • Promote and support a knowledge exchange interface amongst researchers, educators, providers and policy-makers at the provincial and national level • Develop a workforce trained in dementia care

  4. AKE Goals • Become linked and integrated with the Ministry’s relevant strategies, including the Health Human Resource Committees, Local Health Integrated Networks (LHINs), Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) education and training programs • Develop mechanisms that assure sustainability of the Alzheimer Knowledge Exchange (AKE) so that it can be a leader in dementia care

  5. Membership • Original target audience from the Alzheimer Strategy: • Local Dementia Networks • Public Education Coordinators (PEC’s) • Psychogeriatric Resource Consultants (PRC’s) • Family Physicians • Psychogeriatric Resource Persons among staff in long-term care and community care agencies (PRP’s) • Expanded target audience also to include: • Students • Front-line staff serving people with ADRD • Policy-makers (public policy or organizational policy) • Research community • LIHNs • CCACs • Health promotion professionals serving people with chronic disease

  6. Our Commitment to Knowledge Transfer(Sullivan et al., 2004) • Knowledge Generation – the AKE is committed to building reciprocal linkages between the researcher, educator, caregiver and policy maker to inform ADRD research agendas • Knowledge Translation – the AKE is committed to working in partnership with CoP members and relevant stakeholders to identify opportunities for knowledge translation and develop practical, evidence-based resources to facilitate the transfer of knowledge into practice

  7. Our Commitment to Knowledge Transfer(Sullivan et al., 2004) • Knowledge Awareness and Access – the AKE is committed to leveraging technology in order to provide researchers, educators, caregivers and policy makers with awareness of and access to relevant resources and explicit and tacit knowledge in the field of ADRD • Knowledge Use – the AKE is committed to facilitating the use of knowledge (transfer of knowledge into practice) by providing knowledge exchange support and resources to CoP members and sub-CoPs • Knowledge Accumulation and Retrieval – the AKE is committed to accumulating innovations and ‘stories’ from CoP members in order to build on successes and facilitate the development of new partnerships

  8. AKE 2006-2008: Lessons Learned • Education appeared to be primary purpose for accessing AKE • Knowledge Broker, Resource Centre, and Collaboration Tool were considered by end users to be most useful • Timely access to innovations and information is important • Access to technologies was challenging for some (rural and remote) • CoP members felt AKE had yet to realize and communicate its full potential

  9. Realizing Our Full Potential 2008 and beyond… • Formalizing AKE processes • Expanding our knowledge base • Understanding the evolving needs of the CoP • Improving access to knowledge and innovations • Supporting the transfer of knowledge into practice • Partnering with stakeholders

  10. An AKE Success Story Driving and Dementia: • CoP identified as an issue • Fireside Chat for knowledge dissemination • Questionnaire to determine remaining gaps • Follow-up sessions held to address gaps identified

  11. AKE Success Story Outcomes: • Connected people to knowledge expertise • Connected people to resources • Connected people to ideas • Connected innovations and practice
