This Community of Practice (CoP) site examines the use of the The Assertive Community Treatment Transition Readiness Scale© (ATR) to support recovery and transition practices.

 

The Eastern Ontario ACTT Network participating teams and others in Ontario are working with the ATR pilot evaluation working group to support teams to further strengthen their everyday steps to promote recovery, community integration and client transition within the unique care system and community resources of each team.  

 

Basic Tips on how to get around this site

 

  • Please follow this forum by clicking upper right button
  • To go back to the main page of the CoP- go below the main menu, this brings you to CoP Topics.  Make sure you click Follow This Forum - upper right.
  • If you press home, you will land back into the overall EENet Connect site and need to find your way back here via entering via Forums.
  •  If you have difficulties posting, I can help you post or post on your behalf if needed - bill.dare@theroyal.ca or Dialog Tool (top right hand corner)
  • There are various files on right hand side, with resources, though many of them are also linked via the topic discussions as well
  • Once you are registered with EEnetconnect, you really can control eenetconnect information going to your email account if it is getting too busy on your email ... go to MANAGE menu, notifications, go to bottom of it and go for weekly digest. Getting too much email notices from this site is the greatest turn off.

More background on a CoP's potential

The CoP will share information about our pilot's progress in using the ATR assessment for transition from ACT scale, provide updates on Gary Cuddeback's work on transition from ACTT as well as the work of other researchers and practitioners who are focused on approaches to improve Recovery and Transition practices in ACTT.

 

While Gary Cuddeback has done the initial validation of the tool, the pilot evaluation group is working with him to develop further analysis of the ATR and its usefulness in informing transitions. Please see the background article about the pilot http://eenet.ca/products-tools...ransition-readiness/ that describes our initial start up and vision.

 

This CoP aims to draw on and share both front line clinician and manager experience with the clinical and structural components and the issues and innovations your team encounters.  The vision of the CoP is that through dialogue and knowledge sharing, evidence based practices on transition and recovery can be further developed and engaged with by teams.

 

 

Most of us on the front line already share with others on a daily basis our individual practice wisdom.  The CoP will help us all to bridge research and practice. This CoP, while virtual, will complement the other ways we are communicating and sharing knowledge to advance the recovery steps of the people we work with. Etienne Wenger, a leader of the CoP model describes it as,

“a willingness to share ideas, expose one’s ignorance, ask difficult questions, and listen carefully.” (from -Cultivating Communities of Practice, 2002).

 

Your participation in the CoP, can take many forms from perhaps, simply using the site to think about a client you are working with and their challenges to greater integration into the community, to co-writing an article with others.  Just like the ATR scale and other transition from ACTT practices, the CoP model and theory is itself in early stages of development.

Welcome.

In this topic area, the CoP tries to invite and explain the purpose and approach of a digital community of practice that is linked to the other ways individuals are sharing practice and resources.  A little bit of life imitating art.  

 

I'm unsure if anyone would be interested in sharing ideas on use of digital communication in learning, but just to see, I have posted below an article that tries to address the roles and functions in facilitating this.

 

Intro is from Steven Downes-----http://www.downes.ca/

Role of Community Management in Workplace Learning Today 
Sahana ChattopadhyayIDOther Reflections, 2014/11/25

One thing that occupies my thinking is the tension between personal learning and community. Clearly community is important. But if community defines learning, the personal is subsumed. This post looks at community platforms used by organizations and the role of "community managers who can facilitate activities on the platform." This person needs to be, suggests the author, in part a trainer, a content curator, a connector, a brand ambassador, and a consultant. What is not discussed - a nd probably should be - is what happens when these roles conflict.

The article Knowledge translation in healthcare: A review of the literature by: Oborn, E., Barrett, M. and Racko, G.

https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/file...ingpapers/wp1005.pdf (identified by Stephen Downes “a leading voice in online and networked learning” http://www.downes.ca/ ) provides an big picture and distilled overview of our developing understanding in integrating research with practice in both organizations and broader systems through knowledge translation.

 

... A critical issue, often discussed in terms of enabling innovation or competitive advantage, is the need for knowledge embedded within one community or organisational group to become available or known to members in a different community. As conceptualised by the notion of communities of practice (Lave and Wenger 1991, Brown and Duguid 1991, Wenger 1998) knowledge is learned within a social context; individuals who are not familiar with, or members of, a given social context are likely to ascribe a different meaning or understanding to a specified knowledge set ...  (from article)

 

I also found this article that looks like a useful overview as well, looking at process of knowledge translation.
