Abstract Background Recruiting and retaining health professions remains a high priority for health system planners. Different employment sectors may vary in their appeal to providers. We used the concepts of inflow and stickiness to assess the relative attractiveness of sectors for physical therapists (PTs) in Ontario, Canada. Inflow was defined as the percentage of PTs working in a sector who were not there the previous year. Stickiness was defined as the transition probability that a physical therapist will remain in a given employment sector year-to-year. Methods A longitudinal dataset of registered PTs in Ontario (1999-2007) was created, and primary employment sector was categorized as ‘hospital’, ‘community’, ‘long term care’ (LTC) or ‘other.’ Inflow and stickiness values were then calculated for each sector, and trends were analyzed. Results There were 5003 PTs in 1999, which grew to 6064 by 2007, representing a 21.2% absolute growth. Inflow grew across all sectors, but the LTC sector had the highest inflow of 32.0%. PTs practicing in hospitals had the highest stickiness, with 87.4% of those who worked in this sector remaining year-to-year. The community and other employment sectors had stickiness values of 78.2% and 86.8% respectively, while the LTC sector had the lowest stickiness of 73.4%. Conclusion Among all employment sectors, LTC had highest inflow but lowest stickiness. Given expected increases in demand for services, understanding provider transitional probabilities and employment preferences may provide a useful policy and planning tool in developing a sustainable health human resource base across all employment sectors.

Although the use of performance indicators for the analytical (and highly measurable) phase of the medical laboratory process has had a long and successful history, it is now recognized that the value of a laboratory test is embedded in a system of care. This case study, using both documents and interview data, examines the approaches to accountability in the Ontario Medical Laboratory Sector, noting both the challenges and benefits. This sector relies heavily on the regulation instrument, including a requirement that all medical laboratories licensed by the provincial government must follow the guidelines set out by the Quality Management Program - Laboratory Services. We found the greatest challenges exist in the pre-analytical phase (where a large portion of total laboratory errors occur), particularly the interface between the laboratory and other providers.

15. Simulation Interventions for the Classroom to Support the Acquisition of Interprofessional Competencies.

Gamble BJ, Graham L, Goulding HM, Moreau E, and Barth B
- Abstract
Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) supports the delivery of quality and safe healthcare. The acquisition of interprofessional competencies both pre-licensure and post-licensure are key to implementing this approach in the healthcare workplace. This report documents the development and implementation of a simulation intervention to support interprofessional education (IPE) in the undergraduate classroom for pre-licensure learners. The learning activity framework includes an exposure phase (e.g., didactic classroom instruction) and an immersion phase (e.g., simulation intervention and debriefing). Details on the debriefing process are included as it is key to achieving the learning objectives. The three learning activity pilot tests (n=150) revealed that learners recognized that interprofessional competencies were an important asset to support IPC. The pilot tests identified the need for further development in order for students to make a connection with the mastery phase (i.e., clinical placement). The next steps will include the development and incorporation of formative tools to assess learners' progress, as well as a plan to evaluate the learning activity that will connect all three phases (exposure, immersion, and mastery) of the learning framework., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2021, Gamble et al.)

- Abstract
How do self-regulated health professions' regulatory bodies address financial conflict of interest (coi) and ensure accountability to the public? using document analysis, we examined how four ontario regulatory colleges (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, audiologists/speech-language pathologists) defined coi and the education, guidance and enforcement they provided for coi-related issues. These colleges are upholding the mandates to define, identify and address financial coi by providing regulations or standards and guidelines to their membership; they differed in the amount of educational materials provided to their registrants and in the possible coi scenarios they presented. Although there were few disciplinary hearings pertaining to financial coi, findings for the hearings that did occur were documented and posted on the college public registers (the listing of all registered college members along with all relevant practice information), informing the public of any limitations or restrictions placed on a member as a result of the hearing., (Copyright © 2014 Longwoods Publishing.)

- Abstract
Long-term care (LTC) residential homes provide a supportive environment for residents requiring nursing care and assistance with daily living activities. The LTC sector is highly regulated. We examine the approaches taken to ensure the delivery of quality and safe care in 10 LTC homes owned and operated by the City of Toronto, Ontario, focusing on mandatory accountability agreements with the Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs). Results are based on document review and seven interviews with LTC managers responsible for the management and operation of the 10 LTC homes. One issue identified was the challenges associated with implementing new legislative and regulatory requirements to multiple bodies with differing requirements, particularly when boundaries do not coincide (e.g., the City of Toronto's Long-Term Care Homes and Services Division must establish 10 different accountability agreements with the five LHINs that span into the City of Toronto's geographic area)., (Copyright © 2014 Longwoods Publishing.)

Gamble B, Daniels F, Deber R, Laporte A, and Isaac W
- Abstract
Registered respiratory therapists (RRTs) aid in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory illness and cardiopulmonary disorders, conditions that are increasingly being managed in settings other than the hospital sector. However, analysis of a longitudinal data set of Ontario's RRTs (2,903) from 1996 to 2007 demonstrates that the majority of RRTs work full-time in the hospital sector, where retention is high. Despite a policy direction encouraging the shift of the site of care from the hospital sector to the community/home, this has had little impact on where RRTs work, raising the question of who is providing respiratory services in the community.
