Workshop Goal and Objectives ↑Back to top Goal: To assist epidemiologists in the implementation of the Ontario Public Health Standards (OPHS) and specifically the Foundational Standard, the workshop will combine education, skill sharing and strategizing. This workshop is intended to provide participants with an applied understanding of the role epidemiologists play in meeting the OPHS, as well as an opportunity to share and create resources which will assist in OPHS implementation.
Specific Objectives: - To provide a review and refresher on the OPHS, with a focus on the Foundational Standard and the Population Health Assessment and Surveillance (PHAS) Protocol;
- To strategize how to effectively and consistently use the PHAS and other protocols to meet the OPHS;
- To provide a forum for public health professionals to share, discuss and learn about existing resources that can assist in the implementation of the OPHS;
- To share unique and innovative data sources, and plan how to use them for the purposes of population health assessment and surveillance;
- To exchange ideas and make recommendations for resources that APHEO could develop to support OPHS implementation, including the Core Indicators Project; and
