Welcome to OCHART KTE Day >

The Purposes of OCHART Reporting

Accountability

The reports allow the programs,

the AIDS Bureau and the Public

Health Agency of Canada to

check actual activity against

program plans and logic models.

They also provide information on

how resources were used.

Planning

The reports may identify trends

that can be used to adjust

services or develop new

services locally and

provincially.

Quality

Improvement/

Evaluation

The reports may provide

information that programs

can use to strengthen their

services.

Trends in the HIV Workforce

• The number of paid staff has increased steadily over the past few years – from 378 in 2007 to 445 in 2013

• The number of both education and IDU peers is down slightly

• The commitment to GIPA/MIPA is strong:– 77 of 89 programs involved members of target population –

although fewer as paid staff

Page 24: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

24

Trends in Volunteer Services

Page 25: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

25

Trends in IDU Peer Activities

• IDU outreach programs reported fewer active peers and a drop of about 40% in the number of new peers

• However, the smaller number of IDU peers:– were involved in >50% more

informal interactions– distributed 65% more materials– engaged in 30% more community

development activities– were more involved in formal

program delivery– provided about 120% more practical

assistance services

Page 26: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

26

Trends in Training

• Programs invest mainly in:

• Skills building– Addictions, harm

reduction, substance use

• Administrative training• Other skills including:

– Health and safety– Stress reduction– Research interviewing– Gender identity– Clear communications

Chal lenges Fac ing Prov inc ia l Capac i ty Bui ld ing Programs

• Costs of training• Time constraints• The impact of staff turnover (e.g. having to

train new people, not being ableto offer advanced programs

• Keeping training relevant- Developing new programs

- Surveying agencies As we invest in training and building the capacity of our peers, we also face the problem of turnover. When people’s life situations change, their engagement and commitment changes. The positive is that our peers have the capacity to move on to better opportunities, the negative is that we lose the peer we have invested in and have to start the process once again.

“[Our organisation] completed a series of site visits to agencies. These visits have provided insight into issues that agencies face at a local level.”

Page 32: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

Provincial Capacity Building Community Development

Page 38: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

The Benefits of Community Development

• “Having [our organization] representation on boards, working groups, and committees allows us to bring forward issues and perspectives that may not otherwise get addressed. For example, we have been able to challenge viewpoints of individuals and organizations, allowing them to rethink their approach to issues.”

• “At times, attendance at [our] working group and network meetings has been inconsistent. To address this, [our organization] is developing MOUs with participating agencies and improving meeting planning processes to ensure that important Alliance meeting and working group meetings are planned/booked for the entire year to ensure greater communication and participation.”

Page 39: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

39

Capacity Building

• Organizational Capacity– More strategic partnerships

(e.g. mental health,sex workers, long-termcare, geriatrics)

– New ways of delivering services – Challenges: stigma, lack of resources, time available for training,

staff turnover

Based on mental health support needs identified by some clients, we have entered into a new strategic partnership with CMHA in our region to increase our capacity to support mental health issues and to increase CMHA’s capacity to address HIV and sexuality issues in their programming.

Who Does Education?

• General education workers• Population-specific workers:

– Gay Men’s Sexual Health Alliance (GMSH)– African, Caribbean and Black strategy workers– The Women & HIV/AIDS Initiative (WHAI)

• Other organizations that serve specific populations:– Indigenous-focused organizations– IDU outreach workers

Page 43: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

43

Highlights – Knowledge & Awareness

• Education work is shifting:– Fewer presentations/participants – but more ACAP funded

presentations– More presentations

by strategy workersand fewer by general education workers

– Fewer presentations to practitioners/ professionals and more to members of target populations

– More involvement of faith organizations and other partner agencies

“There has been increasing interest in topic-specific workshops such as trans training and harm reduction.”

“[We] organized a public form which included a workshop addressing violence against transwomen, 2-spirited people, LGBTW and sex working women. This even strengthened connections and partnerships with Indigenous, Trans, and Two-Spirited communities.”

Outreach Activities

Page 51: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

51

Highlights – Education & Awareness

• Outreach work is shifting:– More brief outreach contacts with people who use drugs, youth at

risk, Indigenous people – less with gay men and ACB communities– Significant increase in ACAP-funded brief outreach– More significant

outreach through faithorganizations and clinics,less in community publicspaces, correctional facilities,bars or shelters

– Social media: increase in Facebook and blogs (ACAP-funded) and less time in chat sites

“Online outreach with gay, bi and other MSM has shifted a bit in terms of content and topics discussed. A lot of discussion is being generated through changes in profile information presented. For instance, we have been promoting men’s groups a lot more online and this generates a great response that stimulates discussions around relationships, body image and social isolation. There has been a lot more interaction with men that identify as married.”

Page 52: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

52

Trends in Outreach

• Brief outreach– 137,923 contacts

– similar to last year– More ACAP-funded

outreach– Gay men and other

MSM still main target but only 30% of contacts compared to 46% in 2012-13

– 11% more contacts with people who use drugs – mainly due to one organization

Significant face-to-face outreach contacts require a two-way, in-person interaction between agency staff/volunteers and a member of the target population. Brief contact does not involve a two-way interaction but may include people taking material like a pamphlet at even booths.

OCHART – Towards a Better Tomorrow

Page 93: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

OCHART – what it is

• OCHART is a joint reporting tool for organizations funded by the AIDS Bureau and PHAC (reduces burden)

• OCHART was developed and housed at OHTN and is 10 years old

OCHART captures:

1. Quantitative (output level) deliverables (# of people reached, # sessions delivered etc.)

2. Narrative, reflecting changes and trends in demands for service and service delivery

3. Qualitative and quantitative information indicating progress towards completion of work plans

Page 94: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

OCHART – A Brief History…

OHTN hosts the web-based tool, provides administrative, technical and analytical support for OCHART, incl responding to data requests and producing the View From the Front Lines

In 2005, AIDS Bureau & PHAC introduced a joint web-based reporting tool in consultation with funded agencies: the Ontario Community HIV/AIDS Reporting Tool (OCHART)

Need identified in strategies

Agency consultation and review – process included direct agency involvement/feedback

Data capacity survey and IT assessment of agencies

Contracted with the OHTN

Focus-tested the application

Training and implementation

Working group meets regularly to discuss OCHART, outcomes and necessary refinement

Changes made as required

OCHART – where we are now…

• There are 108 agencies/programs currently using OCHART

• OCHART consists of 16 sections that include 239 questions and 82 comments

• OCHART database houses 758 unique data elements• Recent additions:

– 2013-14 Hepatitis C Teams added– 2014-15 Anonymous Testing sites, HIV clinical services and

OHTN added

• Major changes to content in 2014-15; brought issues to the forefront

Page 96: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

OCHART – the key issues…

• Technical issues:– platform is showing its age and could be more user friendly– 10 years = numerous changes to OCHART platform which has

meant ad hoc technical patches– current OCHART platform requires a lot of manual work from a

technical perspective

• Content issues:– questions in OCHART could be revised to better capture the work

of the funded organizations– data collected is primarily output level data. i.e # of presentations,

# participants. It is difficult to analyze the longer term impacts.

• Overarching:– system needs to be updated to reflect the priorities of the new

Provincial HIV strategy to 2020: Changing the Course of the HIV Prevention, Engagement and Care Cascade and does not align well with the PHAC’s Project Measurement Tool (PMT).

Page 97: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

OCHART – the next steps

• Over next 18 months, OCHART will go through transition to address both technical and content issues

• There will be opportunities for community input in the review and transition

• Goal – launch the “new OCHART” for 2016-17 reporting• Until then, this will mean careful, supportive and patient

interactions with OCHART…

Page 98: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

OCHART – what will not change

• OCHART will continue to be a joint federal/provincial mandatory reporting and accountability tool

• OHTN will continue providing support to OCHART users and providing OCHART data for analysis

• Agencies and programs will continue to have an opportunity to provide input into development of OCHART

• Agencies will still get their data/agency reports

Page 99: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

OCHART – what will change

• Will be moved to a new more user friendly platform• Specific sections will be revised to better align with the

provincial strategy to reflect the concept of the HIV Engagement, Prevention and Care Cascade

• Will be revised to better align with PHAC’s PMT tool (ex more narrative – longer term results and impacts)

• Will provide agencies with an opportunity to report on the outcomes of their work 

Page 100: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

OCHART – what will change

• With input from community, we will develop a set of outcome level indictors that will be reported in OCHART.

Some examples may include: - Number of people connected to HIV care within the

reporting period- New partnerships that allow better access to population

at risk for early diagnosis - Purpose of education presentation (i.e. generate more

referrals to HIV testing in a specific priority population)

Page 101: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

Funder requirements - AIDS Bureau

• Critical need to link activities and outcomes with the new Provincial strategy

• The Strategy provides a conceptual framework to respond to HIV in Ontario – the cascade

• We will be using evidence to inform the development of program guidelines, service models, KTE materials, new interventions aimed to minimize people falling out of the spectrum of care/the cascade.

• We anticipate asking questions in the new OCHART from the cascade framework, demonstrating the work is effective in keeping people in care

Page 102: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

Funder requirements - Publ ic Health Agency of Canada

• April 2015 – revision of OCHART tool to include some additional questions to ensure alignment with the PMT (i.e. an ACAP narrative section with focus on results)

• Community Action Fund (April 1, 2017) - integrated fund that addresses HIV, hepatitis C and related STBBIs as well as related aspects of health (e.g., mental health, aging) and social determinants of health

• Once details of the fund are finalized we will discuss alignment with OCHART

Page 103: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

What is your role today

• Contribute to the development of a New and Better OCHART, which starts NOW…

• First - a short presentation/refresher on the HIV Engagement, Prevention and Care cascade

• Then - two rounds of table discussions focused on the activity data that either could be or is collected, which connects to the cascade

• Results will be summarized and presented back to you after the KTE day

• What you say today will inform the process of developing the new OCHART and will help funders to develop a mechanism that is inclusive and mutually beneficial.

HIV/AIDS Strategy to 2020:

Changing the Course of the HIV Prevention, Engagement and Care Cascade

Page 105: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

The New Provincial Strategy

The strategy introduces a three-dimensional approach to HIV response in Ontario. Based on the current epidemiologic data, trends and evidence based practices, the strategy focuses on:

– Delivering services to priority populations

– Addressing biological, individual, social and structural determinants of health

– Changing the course of HIV Engagement, Prevention and Care cascade

Page 106: 1 KTE Day 2014. Housekeeping Welcome & important details. 2.

Strategically tailor the HIV service response to support key

populations to increase access to HIV and other health and social

services for people at high risk of HIV infection and poorer health outcomes when living with HIV
