Researcher on Call
Building on the overwhelming success following its introduction in 2007, Researcher on Call continued to attract large audiences in 2008.
Researcher on Call is a series of interactive teleconference calls that bring researchers and decision makers together to discuss timely and interesting topics relevant to Canada’s health system. The overall goal is to encourage participants to consider the benefits of using research in their practice.
Each session focuses on a specific topic and sessions are open to all interested participants. In addition to being a source of valuable information, the sessions provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions of the experts and engage in meaningful dialogue.
Researcher on Call, which was initially developed in partnership with the Quality Healthcare Network, has quickly established itself as a unique and helpful activity. Participants, who call in from across the country, report that the objective and interactive approach of the sessions is extremely beneficial, and that they appreciate the opportunity to hear how other organizations have been successful in applying research findings.
Based on its continued success, Researcher on Call will continue with more sessions in 2009.
Researcher on Call topics offered in 2008:
- Leadership and staff empowerment
- Interprofessional collaboration and quality primary healthcare
- Optimizing the management of the healthcare workplace
- In healthcare, is more always better?
- Public reporting on the quality of healthcare
