GiiC (Geriatrics, Interprofessional, Interorganizational Collaboration) Project
Project Objectives
The project objectives for GiiC (Geriatrics, Interprofessional, Interorganizational Collaboration) were:
- Improve care for frail seniors by developing a Network of Centres of Excellence in Practice Based Interprofessional Education and Interorganizational Collaboration in Geriatric Care, supporting the initiatives outlined in HealthForceOntario’s Interprofessional Care: A Blueprint for Action
- Increase the competency of primary health care professionals in three core areas: clinical Geriatrics, interprofessional care and interorganizational Collaboration (GiiC)
The GiiC Project was a collaboration of the Regional Geriatric Programs of Ontario located in Hamilton, Kingston, London, Ottawa and Toronto, the Centre for Education and Research on Aging and Health (CERAH) at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and the North East Specialized Geriatric Services (NESGS) Group in Sudbury. CERAH and the NESGS Interest Group are affiliated with the Northern Ontario School of Medicine.
Project Strategies
