ICC: From Practice to Policy - Keeping What Worked: Lessons learned from COVID-19 pediatric immunizations (September 2022)

This day long conference on September 13, 2022 was one component of the Immunizing Children with Confidence project, a collaboration between Children's Healthcare Canada and Solutions for Kids in Pain.

From H1N1 and SARS we learned not to ignore lessons learned! Let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past.  This Pop-Up worked to capture and imbed our Covid-19 pediatric immunization lessons learned into organizational policies, processes, and practices along the continuum of disciplines that feed into the delivery of immunization services for children and youth. From collaboration to communication, and from access to accessibility, we highlighted the lessons learned and future opportunities to strengthen the resiliency of our health systems and ensure we are prepared for future crises.

All In: Creating Synergy in Pediatric Complex Care Pop Up Event (March 2021) 

Children with complex medical needs are considered to be children that have a unique combination of substantial family-identified service needs, characteristic chronic and severe health conditions, functional limitations, and extraordinarily high health care use. These children frequently enter the healthcare system, for a variety of reasons, seeing a range of different healthcare providers, leaving parents and caregivers to provide a significant amount of advanced care, and the responsibility to navigate a complex and often fragmented healthcare system.

In partnership with Alberta Children's Hospital and Alberta Health Services, Children's Healthcare Canada welcomed delegates to this event , March 25, 2021 where we showcased and shared practices that we know are working to help support these children, youth and families.

We  celebrated the best of what we are learning, and doing, to help young people to develop fully, even when they are challenged by health conditions.
