Summary
This visually inspired panel session begins with 7 minute reflections, using pictures and data, to reflect on where we have been as a community of champions of integrated care. Five panelist from within the CFHA community provide their reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protest movement and challenge each other and the CFHA community to rise to the challenges of the moment in a sustained fashion. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own experiences and engage the panelists in answering the hard questions of where we go from here. A key focus of the panel will be identifying key action steps across the continuum of the systems of healthcare delivery and policymaking (eg. CLAS standards implementation, revisioning quality metrics, telehealth maintenance plans etc.)
