4.7 The Critical Considerations Working Group targeted care needs for vulnerable individuals & developed elements that address gaps in current #CPGs and public access to care. #NCP

4.8 Critical Considerations include geographic location, marginalized populations (e.g. #Black, #Indigenous, #LGBTQ2S+), income/housing/food security status, #mentalhealth issues, and availability of caregiver support. #NCP

4.9 The Ideal Pathways will align with the #QuadrupleAim for healthcare where #patient & #caregiver experiences are taken into consideration during care planning, navigation, and care provision, resulting in #equitable health outcomes. #NCP

4.10 The Ideal Pathways will also contribute to improved #healthcare provider confidence in the system, reduced inappropriate use of services, and mitigation of comorbidities and preventable complications, thus promoting holistic care and efficient use of resources. #NCP

5.1 The Ideal #CarePathways will only be successful with appropriate evaluation strategies; this is where the Data Prioritization project comes into play. #NCP 🧵

5.2 The Data Prioritization project aims to improve #neurotrauma data collection and integration in #ON. A diverse group of stakeholders identified and developed quality of care #indicators, addressed gaps in data collection, and mapped indicators onto the Ideal Pathways. #NCP

5.3 67 data indicators were identified. 42 were designated as ‘must-have’ indicators. 22 ‘must-haves’ were selected as a core set (1 Pre-Acute, 7 Acute, 4 Rehab, 7 Community, and 3 Critical Considerations). #NCP

5.4 The aim of the project was for #ON to: #NCP 1) Collect appropriate descriptive data about individuals with #TBI and #SCI 2) Improve data integration between publicly funded and 3rd party care providers 3) Improve quality of data collection throughout the care continuum

6.1 In Phase 1 of the Neurotrauma #CarePathways Project, we evaluated the current state of neurotrauma care, updated guidelines, and developed Ideal Pathways and data indicators to address the inadequate #neurotrauma care system in #ON. #NCP 🧵

6.2 The Ideal Pathways Project developed evidence- and experience-based care pathways for mild-TBI/#concussion, Mod-Sev #TBI, and traumatic #SCI. The Pathways are comprehensive of neurotrauma care necessities, need for re-access, caregiver burden, and individualized care. #NCP

6.3 The Data Prioritization project identified indicators to evaluate & improve #neurotrauma care. 22 core indicators to address insufficiencies in the community sector and patient characterization, and value health equity and patient/caregiver education. #NCP

6.4 Next, plans for the Neurotrauma #CarePathways Phase 2 (2022-23). #NCP
