DESCRIPTION
Improvement Story session at the 2013 Saskatchewan Health Care Quality Summit. For more information about the summit, visit www.qualitysummit.ca. Follow @QualitySummit on Twitter. Population and Public Health Branch of Saskatoon Health Region deployed improvement methods to develop a comprehensive strategy to improve outcomes for small children ages 0 to 5. The Early Years Health and Development Strategy (EYHDS) team comprised of 5 front line staff and an improvement consultant worked intensively over three months (Feb, Mar, and April, 2012) to Define, Measure and Analyze the opportunity for improvement and generated 25 recommendations. The result was a set of related recommendations for health planners, governments and community organizations. The presentation will demonstrate how improvement methods can be used effectively in community based health promotion areas of health care.

A life course perspective Health trajectories are the pathways that individuals follow from a health perspective.
These pathways evolve over time, and the directions taken depend on individual actions, as well as the circumstances and conditions experienced throughout life.

What we learned about Canadians
• So many programs exist to reduce isolation – single family dwellings
• Parents connect with each other through scheduled appointments – play dates
• Ideal community size is walkable, services and basic household commodities available

The Heckman Equation
“One dollar spent in the early years is estimated to save between $3 and $9 in future spending on health, social and justice services.” Grunewald, R. & Rolnick, A. (2006), from The Chief Public Health Officer’s Report on The State of Public Health in Canada 2009

Learning from Quality Improvement
![Page 30: Early Years Health and Development - Improvement Science Works in Populati…](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052621/55896694d8b42ab9738b460f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What worked well:
• Engaged leadership with questions
• Dedicated staff and dedicated time
• Focus and Finish
• Plan Do Study Act cycles
• Engaged parents and community agencies
• Mapping
• Compelling data
• Elegant design for learning
![Page 31: Early Years Health and Development - Improvement Science Works in Populati…](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052621/55896694d8b42ab9738b460f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Even better if:
• More time prior to getting started
• More time to develop trust and relationships with First Nations and New Canadian parents
![Page 32: Early Years Health and Development - Improvement Science Works in Populati…](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052621/55896694d8b42ab9738b460f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Much better when:
We achieve EDI scores less than 18% by 2018 When we set a new aim for EDI less than 10% and achieve it. A child born to any family anywhere in Saskatchewan has the same opportunity for success as the next child born.
