Mitigating Potential Bias
• ACFP: → The ACFP’s Sponsorship Guidelines apply to ASA Sponsorship. The ACFP abides by the College of
Family Physicians of Canada’s Understanding Mainpro+ Certification Guidelines, the Canadian Medical Association’s Policy Guidelines for Physicians in Interactions With Industry and the Innovative Medicines Canada Code of Ethical Practices (2016). As a non‐profit organization, the ACFP complies with Canada Revenue Agency regulations. When deliberating acceptance of sponsorship, the ACFP considers and accepts sponsorship only from those whose products, services, policies, and values align with the ACFP vision, values, goals, and strategies priorities.
• ASA Planning Committee: → Consideration was given by the 63rd ASA Planning Committee to identify when Planning
Committee members’ and speakers’ personal or professional interests may compete with or have actual, potential, or apparent influence over program content.
→ Material/Learning Objectives and/or session description were developed and reviewed by a Planning Committee composed of experts/family physicians responsible for overseeing the program’s needs assessment and subsequent content development to ensure accuracy and fair balance.
→ The 63rd ASA Planning Committee reviewed Sponsorship Agreements to identify any actual, potential or apparent influence over the program.
→ Information/recommendations in the program are evidence‐ and/or guidelines‐based, and opinions of the independent speakers will be identified as such.

If we could only do one thing…
• “Having a family doctor, being able to access the family doctor, and most importantly, continuity of care with a family doctor, is probably the single most important thing a health care system can provide to its population.”
• Dr. Richard Lewanczuk, Senior Medical Director, Primary Health Care, AHS

Key Leadership Action

your EMR data or HQCA report show?
2. Learn– From and with colleagues and team members
– Do small tests of change to get to big results
3. Shared vision– Create as a team, repeat it at every opportunity
4. Sustain and spread– Make a focus on improvement normal and routine
– Share across clinic, PCN and zone to inspire and help others 21
1. Relational Continuity Actions

– Work in teams
– Offer panel based care; ASaP, Opioid Care, PACT, etc
