Interview with Healthy Debate: Are patient engagement groups missing minority voices?Patient engagement is a growing trend in health care, often through patient advisory councils. Ideally, their makeup would match the diversity of the waiting room—and of the population outside of it as well. But that’s often not the case.
“Often the approach taken to public involvement and who is involved will reflect the bias of the funder or the institution or the organization leading it,” says Simon Denegri, the chair of INVOLVE, an advisory group that supports greater public involvement in health care in the U.K. “This will be reflected in the advisory committee, since we tend to invite in those who we are comfortable working with instead of those we need to work with.”
Many organizations, including Health Quality Ontario (HQO), are working towards getting voices from more minority groups and underserved populations on their patient and family advisory councils. “It’s something I think all of us in the system are trying to do better,” says Jennifer Schipper, chief of communications and patient engagement at Health Quality Ontario.
Others are going out into the community to get a better sense of patients’ needs. Camille Orridge, the former CEO of the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network, saw that first hand when she gathered information about the needs of people in St. James Town, one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Toronto. Her group went out into the community to find people, and paid people who lived in the area to talk to residents and ask them what their health needs were. The report back: their primary concern was getting dental care for their children. “[In] any other [report], that would not have emerged as their number one priority,” she says.8.2 ADT McMaster Health Forum, McMaster University | KTEE - Knowledge Mobilization | 2017-01-12 | |

AGE-WELL 2016 Conference Minute Madness: Aging, Disability and Technology (ADT): Understanding and Advancing Canadian Policies to Enhance Access to Assistive TechnologiesThe ADT team are mapping the programs and policies across Canada to understand how assistive devices are currently accessed or procured in Canada. Preliminary findings indicate that challenges exist among users, caregivers and healthcare workers who seek access to devices given the complexity in identifying, understanding and applying to programs. To complement our jurisdictional scan, a scoping review is currently in progress with the aim of examining the models, frameworks and principles that have been used to understand ethical concepts and challenges related to technology access, with a focus on their use for older adults and/or those living with disabilities. 8.2 ADT University of Toronto, McMaster Health Forum, McMaster University | KTEE - Knowledge Mobilization | 2016-10-20 | |
AGE-WELL 2016 Conference Poster: Ethical Concepts and Challenges related to Assistive Technology Access: A Scoping Review ProtocolOur scoping review will be conducted to examine the ethical concepts and challenges related to assistive technology access and procurement, which includes six stages: 1) conducting broad searches to identify potentially relevant literature; 2) refining selection criteria; 3) reviewing search results; 4) mapping literature according to conceptual areas of interest; and 5) summarizing results. Findings will provide insight into the literature related to ethical concepts and challenges pertaining to technology access. We plan to use the findings to help inform a series of citizen panels in Canada to identify Canadians’ values and preferences for enhancing equitable access to assistive technology.8.2 ADT University of Toronto, McMaster Health Forum, McMaster University | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2016-10-20 | |
