Forum One Purpose: Draft a framework of behaviours and actions that would support deprescribing in long-term care (LTC) | |
Welcome | Introduction and goals for the Forum |
A caregiver's perspective | Family caregiver shared perspectives about the shared responsibility for medication management in the context of a LTC home |
Facilitators and challenges for deprescribing in LTC: Lessons learned from stakeholder consultations | Highlights from the environmental scan, including challenges and successful strategies to support deprescribing |
Using the behaviour change wheel model to plan for deprescribing actions in LTC | Orientation to the concepts of behavioural problems, target behaviours and the COM-B model |
Roundtable discussion: identifying and setting priorities for deprescribing behaviours in LTC | Participants assigned to small working groups designed to maximize diverse perspectives within each group; discussions structured to focus participants' energy on generating potential target behaviours for behavioural problems identified through the environmental scan; project team members circulated amongst the groups to provide guidance as needed; over a break, participants selected priority behaviours by voting using dots on flip charts (nominal group technique) Worksheet #1 – Identifying promising behaviours to support deprescribing Worksheet #2 – Specifying the target behaviour |
Identifying actions that support deprescribing behaviour | Each working group was assigned one of the prioritized behaviours for which they freely generated details of supporting actions that could enable that behaviour Worksheet #3 - Identifying actions to support deprescribing behaviours |
World café: arriving at prioritized actions | Using a World Café approach, participants assessed the appeal of the proposed supporting actions using the APEASE criteria (affordability, practicability, effectiveness, acceptability, side effects and equitability) to identify whether each action was very promising, promising or not promising Worksheet #4 – Prioritizing actions that facilitate behaviours to support deprescribing |
LTC deprescribing framework overview | Summarized the day's activities and briefly revisited goal for the day |
Implementation options – building a champion driven initiative for Fall | Introduced proposal to build a champion driven initiative to support action planning and behaviour change, including option to participate in planning next steps |
Reflection and next steps |
Summary and appeal for feedback |
Forum Two Purpose: Create an implementation plan to support actions that enable deprescribing behaviour change | |
Welcome | Introduction and goals for the Forum |
The June 2019 Deprescribing in LTC Forum – key results and next steps | Overview of the target behaviours and the actions identified at Forum One as being most promising to support those behaviours; relevant terms for the day clarified (e.g. target behaviour, supporting action, activities to make the action happen) |
Generating momentum | Participant examples of activities undertaken since Forum One |
Getting down to it – developing plans to make action happen | Participants assigned to working groups based on registration preferences and a desire to balance individual's expertise, perspective and the organizations they represented; a facilitator (staff, or member of the planning committee) was assigned to each working group to guide them through the process of generating an implementation charter Worksheet #1 – Implementation Charter |
World Café – here is your chance to critique and build | Participants circulated through several small group discussions, using a World Café approach to discuss the risks and opportunities of the proposed implementation plans and identify participants interested in serving on implementation teams |
Equipping the champions – how do we make this happen? | Large group discussion regarding potential implementation challenges |
Focus on reach, adoption, sustainability and effectiveness: making change stick across XX LTC homes | Small group work to develop plans to maximize reach and adoption, ensure ongoing maintenance/sustainability of activities and brainstorm evaluation plans Worksheet #2 – Activity Planning and Evaluation |
Reflection and next steps | Summary and appeal for feedback |
