CHNET-Works! is an integral component of the OHHRRN’s overall knowledge exchange strategy. It is an IT link to community health stakeholders and researchers, decision-makers and health human resources from across Canada around current and pressing health human resource issues. The goals are to share and discuss leading edge research and application and to support mobilization and evidence-informed programs, services and policies. It’s key tool is the Fireside Chats of which there have been over 230 hosted since 2006 to over 8000 participants. Dorothy Bonnenfant is the Animateur for CHNET-Works!

Équité d'accès aux professionnels et aux services de santé en langue minoritaire
Date: 16 mars, 2012 - 13h00-14h00 heure de l'est
Présentateur: Louise Bouchard, Professeure de Sociologie
Bien que le Canada se soit doté de deux langues officielles, le français langue majoritaire au Québec et l'anglais langue majoritaire dans le reste du Canada, un certain nombre de francophones et d'anglophones de ce fait vivent en contexte linguistique minoritaire (CLOSM).
Des études antérieures ont montré que cette situation agit comme déterminant de la santé et entraîne un état de santé et un accès différentiel aux ressources. L'objectif de cette communication est de comparer la minorité à la majorité linguistique en termes d'accès aux professionnels de santé capable de desservir en langue minoritaire.

Fireside Chat: NCCAH: Towards a Healthy Aboriginal Health Policy
Date: October 06, 2011
Presenters: Dr. Josée Lavoie, Associate Professor & Donna L. Atkinson, Manager
This Fireside chat is in collaboration with the National Collaborating Centre for Aboriginal Health.
Aboriginal, provincial and territorial health care systems are composed of a multiplicity of units: health providers, Regional Health Authorities, hospitals, First Nation health providers, long term care facilities, etc all engaged in the delivery of services.
In an ideal world, these units integrate the care they provide in a seamless way. Seamlessness is a recurrent theme these days, and an ideal to aim towards. In reality however, each unit works relatively autonomously, based on internal priorities, budgets and to some extent, external pressures.
Brain Gain, Drain & Waste
Date: December 16, 2010
Presenters: Ivy Lynn Bourgeault PhD

- The context - What is the big picture of international health labour migration?
- Why do health workers decide to leave their home country and come to Canada?
- What is their experience of emigrating to Canada?
- How do we manage professional integration?
- What are the barriers and facilitators to professional and labour market integration?
- What policies would be beneficial?
Community Health Workers/Lay Health Workers
Date: November 30, 2010
Presenters: Sara Torres & Ronald Labonté
A lay health worker is a member of the community who has received some training to promote health or to carry out some healthcare services, but is not a healthcare professional. Lay health workers carry out different tasks such as giving help and advice about issues such as child health, child illnesses, and medicine taking. Some lay health workers may treat people for particular health problems.
In this session we will discuss the international experiences of the use of community health workers in achieving greater health access, community health mobilization and equitable health outcomes. This will be followed by an examination of the emerging knowledge in Canada about interventions by community health workers (also known as lay health promoters, health aids, health educators, multicultural health brokers, community health representatives, promotoras, home visitors, personal support workers or paraprofessionals). Internationally, a wide range of community health worker interventions are directed to changing behaviours and improving health outcomes among hard to reach populations, however, little is known about the role that these interventions play in Canada and their contributions in addressing health inequities among marginalized communities, including immigrants and refugees. In this session we will also examine the promising role that community health workers play in Canada in maximizing utilization of preventive health programs by marginalized populations; in strengthening health and social programs interventions for at-risk families; and, in reducing health disparities for marginalized communities.
Health Evidence: A Canadian resource for facilitating evidence-informed public health decision making
Date: February 11, 2010
Presenters: Maureen Dobbins RN, PhD & Paula Robeson, RN MScN
This Fireside Chat is in collaboration with Health-Evidence.ca
This Fireside Chat presentation will include real practice-based issues to illustrate how health-evidence promotes quick and easy access to public health effectiveness evidence. In addition, there will be a demonstration of how to navigate the site and what other content is available.
Advisors on Tap will discuss how health-evidence.ca has helped local public health units with their decision making in practical ways as well as answer questions about how to use review evidence in decision making, from searching to interpretation.
