A Message from CAPHC’s Board Chair & CEO
As a national organization, CAPHC’s mission is to support its member organizations
through education, research and quality
improvement initiatives to enhance health
service delivery for Canada’s children and
youth. CAPHC’s commitment to sharing best
practices and fostering innovation through
knowledge sharing and mobilization continues to be the Association’s primary focus.
Collaboration is a key factor as we work
together with our member organizations and
partners to achieve our goals.
Over the last several years, CAPHC has
diversified and expanded its membership and
partners to reflect its focus on health service
delivery across the continuum of care.

While representing the paediatric healthcare community, CAPHC has been able to
bring the voice and needs of this vulnerable
population to key organizations and agencies
whose decision makers are responsible for
bringing health reform to the child and youth
healthcare system.
This past year has been underscored by
important collaborations and a continuing
focus on safety and quality improvement,
enhanced healthcare practices and knowledge translation, focused on these key
national initiatives:
• The development of a national paediatric
outpatient rehabilitation database through
the leadership of CAPHC’s Canadian
Network of Child and Youth Rehabilitation.
Consistent with its mission and strategic
priorities, CAPHC also initiated a new national program focused on the development,
implementation and evaluation of paediatric
practice guidelines; with the primary objective to improve healthcare practice, quality,
safety and efficiency through a positive and
dynamic national collaboration.
• National paediatric bench-marking and
decision support, with the introduction of
new Management Information Systems
(MIS) & productivity data with 14 new
indicators applied to 5 inpatient areas;
Through our Paediatric Practice Guidelines
Collaborative in the next 12 months, we will
focus on the development of national paediatric guidelines in the following four priority
areas:
• The development of national standards
specific to our child and youth population
in the areas of the delivery of high alert
medication (i.e. opioid safety) and
interfacility critical care transport of
maternal, neonatal and paediatric patients;
• Transition from paediatric to adult care;
• The development of paediatric specific
quality and patient safety tools; and
• Management of medically complex
children through the continuum of care;
• Sepsis; and
• Paediatric Pain.
In addition, under our Patient Safety and
Quality Improvement work we will initiate
the development of national standards for
the neonatal and paediatric delivery of Nitric
Oxide.
We are very proud of CAPHC’s growth over
the past several years, and would like to
recognize the tremendous collaboration and
dedication of our member organizations
and partners as the key component for our
growth, development and achievements.

Education, Knowledge Translation and Knowledge Mobilization
Knowledge transfer and mobilization has been facilitated in numerous ways over the past year. CAPHC is very committed to
serving our members as a knowledge broker, facilitating the transfer, exchange and mobilization of knowledge across the
child and youth healthcare community, within and far beyond Canada’s borders.
The CAPHC-Knowledge Exchange Network (KEN) is a key component of
our KT strategy. KEN is an interactive online community that engages practitioners, patients, families, researchers and other key stakeholders in a common, interactive knowledge
exchange community. KEN provides an ideal and readily accessible resource for all CAPHC
member organizations and partners to obtain information, access tools and other resources
related to many CAPHC national programs.
16
Launched in 2012, CAPHC Presents! is an email newsletter designed to help streamline communications related to CAPHC’s education and knowledge exchange activities.
By combining the utilities of our live webinars and Knowledge Exchange Network, we have
been able to share content with individuals in the tens of thousands. In the past year the KEN
has had more than 21,000 unique visits, from 123 countries around the world.
In 2012, CAPHC welcomed more than one thousand attendees to our national webinars. A
comprehensive catalogue and video library of all webinars have been made available on the
Knowledge Exchange Network.
CAPHC has a New Web Site!
As part of CAPHC’s strong commitment to Knowledge translation and mobilization, we
officially launched a new web site on October 30, 2012, at this year’s Annual Conference
in Vancouver! Our new site has been designed to provide current information on all CAPHC
activities and programs, as well as profile the strength in our member organizations and national partners. We invite you to visit the site and lend your voice to our conversations, blogs
and tweets!
CAPHC Conversations is CAPHC’s new Blog. Also new in 2012, CAPHC Conver-
sations is a new component of our communications strategy. CAPHC Conversations was
created to actively engage with the child and youth healthcare community across the country.
Our blog has been designed to share thoughts and activities that are making a difference to
the health and well-being of our children, youth and families. CAPHC Conversations is also
a vehicle to initiate a discussion on priority topics of the day that are of most interest and
relevance to our child and youth healthcare community.
17
Education, Knowledge Translation and Knowledge Mobilization
CAPHC’s 2012 Annual Conference
Insight into Child & Youth Healthcare:
Improving System Performance Using Information, Integration and Innovation
Another significant commitment to knowledge translation and mobilization can be seen each
year in CAPHC’s Annual Conference. Our conference goal is to ensure that all who attend
have the opportunity to reflect on best practices and the latest innovations as a base for
creating new programs that enhance the quality of child and youth healthcare.
CAPHC’s 2012 Annual Conference took place in the beautiful city of Vancouver and welcomed over 400 multi-disciplinary health professionals from across the country, as well as
from many other international, national, provincial and regional health related organizations.
This year’s conference program showcased the emergence of new models of care and the
needs, challenges and innovative strategies aimed at improving health outcomes in paediatrics across the continuum of care. Attention was also be given to changes in our healthcare
system, national collaborative opportunities and the role of communication and information
technology in facilitating new health service delivery models of care.
