Eastern Ontario Counties Focus Group on Maternal-Newborn Health Services and Programs EASTERN ONTARIO COUNTIES Prepared by France Morin and Debbie Aylward, Perinatal Consultants Champlain Maternal Newborn Regional Program INTRODUCTION The Champlain Maternal Newborn Regional Program (CMNRP) is conducting focus groups as part of one of its strategic priorities focused on enhancing the transition of maternal-newborn care from hospital to community. The focus groups are one of the activities of the CMNRP Mapping Maternal Newborn Services Workgroup. CMNRP is pleased to present a summary report of key findings and recommendations from the focus group that was conducted at the Eastern Ontario Health Unit in Casselman on October 26 th , 2016 from 13:30 to 16:00. A total of 19 health care providers from various organizations that provide maternal- newborn health services and/or programs 1 in the Eastern Ontario Counties participated. Those include: Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott/Russell and Akwesasne. The purpose of this focus group was to: 1) confirm and identify additional maternal-newborn health services and/or programs currently available in this community; 2) explore the views of participants about the strengths, challenges and gaps of existing services and programs in relation to access, navigation and continuity of supports; and 3) identify opportunities for improvement and make recommendations to improve the current system. The focus group was divided into four parts. Notes were taken and the session was audio-recorded in order to accurately capture participants’ contributions. Information from the notes and the recording were reviewed, collated and presented in this report. PART 1 – Document Current Maternal-Newborn Health Services & Programs Prior to attending the focus group, participants received a list of maternal-newborn health services and programs that were identified by CMNRP through searches of portals ( thehealthline.ca ; 211.ontario ) and websites of organizations as well as telephone calls with key informants. Copies of this list were available at the session to use as a reference. In the first part of the session, participants were asked to briefly identify services and programs that were missing from the list and those who were no longer available. They were encouraged to submit any additions or modifications to the list to the facilitator following the session. An updated copy of the list of maternal-newborn health services and programs can be found in Appendix A. 1 For the purposes of this focus group, “maternal-newborn health services and programs” included services and programs offered during pregnancy, birth and the first few months after birth (up to 3 months). CMNRP Focus Group – Eastern Ontario Counties. Oct. 2016 Page 2 PART 2 – Identify Strengths, Challenges and Gaps in Maternal-Newborn Health Services & Programs Participants were tasked to identify strengths, challenges and gaps in current maternal-newborn health services and programs in their community. Participants were asked to consider how easy it is to access these services and programs, how people navigate between them and how the services are meeting the needs of childbearing families. Key findings from this exercise are presented below in Table 1. TABLE 1 - STRENGTHS, CHALLENGES AND GAPS IN MATERNAL-NEWBORN HEALTH SERVICES AND PROGRAMS Participants identified the bolded areas as applicable to all perinatal periods (prenatal, labour & birth and postnatal).

Participants were asked to think about services/programs that could be created, enhanced or improved. A representative from each table was invited to share the recommendations generated by their group. Ideas and suggestions are presented below in Table 2. CMNRP Focus Group – Eastern Ontario Counties.
