On Tuesday, September 18, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EDT, Health
Council of Canada councillor, Dr. Bruce Beaton will host a panel discussion on
online chronic disease self-management programs which will expand upon many of
the issues presented in our recent report, Self-Management
Support for Canadians with Chronic Health Conditions: A Focus for Primary
Health.
Patrick McGowan, Associated Director of the University of
Victoria’s Centre on Aging will explain how British Columbia has implemented
the online Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP), which has been in
operation for two years.
A representative from Alberta Health Services Calgary will
talk about Alberta's experience with an online CDSMP pilot project. Finally, CDSMP pioneer, Dr. Kate Lorig,
Director of the Stanford Patient Education Research Center in Stanford,
California will tell us how the program has grown to be a respected and popular
international tool for chronic disease self-management.
A question and answer period will follow the presentations. Register
