OVERVIEW The Ontario Stroke Network’s (OSN) Professional Stroke Education Inventory is a repository of tools, resources and programs that support

health care professionals working in stroke care.

There are many sources of information related to stroke care. This Inventory organizes resources in alphabetical order in a pdf–formatted

document. It is hoped that this list can transition into a web-based document to enable more frequent updates, changes, additions and be

user-friendly at the same time.

OSN’s Ontario Regional Education Group (OREG) developed this new Inventory during 2011-12 after a review of the previous edition (Heart

and Stroke Foundation’s Prof Ed Atlas previously available on the HSF

website). OREG acknowledges the collaborative input from the Heart and Stroke Foundation (HSF) that was received during this process.

Items on the new Inventory are recognized resources, tools and

programs that are in line with the Canadian Best Practice Recommendations for Stroke Care which are published at

www.strokebestpractices.ca. OREG recognizes that many regions have valuable tools, resources and programs that may deserve to be

included in the Inventory and, as such, we expect the list to grow in 2012-13 and beyond. As more resources become available for certain

aspects of stroke care, the Inventory will also become more comprehensive.

The Inventory is not expected to be a fait accomplis but rather a “work

in progress”. OREG will review suggested additions to the Inventory on

a regular basis. OREG will continue to identify gaps and find and/or develop resources to fill those gaps for select stroke care topics.

Expected users of the Professional Stroke Education Inventory include

planners, administrators, educators, and direct providers of stroke care across the continuum, within the Ontario Stroke System.

The purpose of this website is to allow healthcare providers to quickly learn the basics of helping patients be better self-managers of their health care. It provides easy-to-use tools for helping patients with

self care.

Three modules that teach the healthcare provider to:

1. Assess where patients are with their self care and elicit a care issue relevant to their lives

2. Assist patients to set a behavioural goal that addresses their self care issue and design a simple action plan that helps the patient take his/her first steps toward achieving that goal

3. Assist patients with enacting their action plans and to undertake follow-up with patients to ensure their continued success

The modules are a mix of text and video-based instruction to accommodate different learning styles.

Originally developed by Gina Tomaszewski and Christina O'Callaghan. This program is offered in partnership by the South West CCAC and South West LHIN

Access: http://www.swselfmanagement.ca/smtoolkit/ Each module offers important resources for further learning as well as links to related topics and literature.

Using innovative technology, OTN streamlines the health care process, while also expanding the way knowledge is shared and how the medical community interacts with each other and with patients.

The Provincial Telestroke Program is a component of Ontario's stroke strategy and provides stroke patients in remote areas of the province with access to life-saving emergency care that they might not receive without this real-time expert neurological assessment. Telestroke uses eHealth Ontario’s Emergency Neuro Image Transfer System (ENITS), a centralized web-based picture archiving and communication system for head scans that can be accessed and viewed by participating neurologists.

OTN's Webcasting Centre broadcasts thousands of ongoing health professional events over the internet, both live and archived, extending the reach of your events beyond rooms equipped with videoconferencing equipment.

An independent, not-for-profit organization, OTN is funded by the Government of Ontario.
