On this episode of Meeting Midway we're talking with Bob Putnam, Chelsea Salvatore and Emily Baton from the May Institute about their most recent presentation at the 2024 Association for Positive Behavior Supports conference. The title of their presentation was "Beyond Data Collection: Using Data to Make a Difference in IDD Settings". Our discussion centers around their presentation and the fidelity tools they reviewed and discussed. Two tool mentioned in their presentation were the Agency Systems Support Evaluation Tool aka ASSET with Missouri and the Tiered Onsite Evaluation Tool aka TOET with Minnesota. Our discussion then leads into a third fidelity tool the May Institute in Massachusetts is developing. From here we discuss several other tools and resources that listeners might find helpful in addition to goals and dreams for Bob, Chelsea and Emily on where they would like to see these tools in the future. If you're interested in learning about these tools please see the show notes below for further information.

Ep 21 - Tiered Fidelity Tools

Techopia Live was on location at TechTuesday for a thought-provoking panel exploring Pulse Check: Technology’s Role in Healthcare Innovation. Moderated by Wesley Clover International’s Veronica Farmer, the session brought together Ottawa-based leaders who are reimagining how patient-centred care is delivered, scaled, and supported by technology.

The conversation featured Bruce Ford of Celestra Health Systems, Danielle Manley of Carleton University’s School of Nursing, Kara Kitts of The Ottawa Hospital, and Kenneth Lawless of the Ottawa Health Innovation Hub. Together, they shared how smart diagnostics, AI-driven decision-making, hospital innovation labs, and cross-sector partnerships are reshaping healthcare in Ottawa and beyond.

From embedding AI competencies in medical education to building a $300-million advanced medical research facility, panellists highlighted both the opportunities and challenges of integrating technology into front-line care. Their perspectives showcased how collaboration between research, technology, and healthcare delivery is creating the foundation for the next generation of patient care.
