Discussion with Dr, Clare Liddy & Dr. Celeste Fung on eConsult
Dr. Clare Liddy - the interim Chair of the University of Ottawa Department of Family Medicine, as well as a Clinical Investigator at the C.T. Lamont Primary Health Care Research Centre, an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa Department of Family Medicine with a cross-appointment to the School of Epidemiology, Public Health and Preventive Medicine, and a Tier 2 Clinical Research Chair in Family Medicine at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine. She practices comprehensive Family Medicine within the Ottawa Hospital Academic Family Health Team at the Riverside Family Medicine Clinic and is a senior investigator with the Bruyère Research Institute. One of Dr. Liddy's most significant contributions to primary care research is co-founding the Champlain BASE™ eConsultation service (eConsult) which to date has served over 48,000 patients, enrolled more than 1,400 primary care providers, and offers access to 114 specialty groups in our health region of 1.2 million people. She has acquired $3.4 million of funding for projects pertaining to eConsult, including a $1.1 million grant from CIHR supporting the spread and scale of an eConsult chronic pain service in Manitoba, Ontario, Newfoundland, and Quebec. Her work on eConsult has led to the expansion of the BASE™ model of care to new jurisdictions within Ontario and beyond. eConsult is one of two services offered by the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement’s Connected Medicine Collaborative, which has led to eConsult’s launch in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Québec, and Manitoba. eConsult is also growing in its home province, with Ontario-wide expansion being managed by the Ontario eConsult Centre of Excellence, of which she is a co-executive director. A collaboration she built with the Ontario Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation at Bruyère enables targeted support for long-term care homes to adopt eConsult for the benefit of some of the most frail Ontarians.
