North
Spirit Lake Health Day
On
December 4, 2001, the focus was on the health sector. We identified
who was present and who
was
absent in the health sector, with the aim of ensuring that those
who are away are invited to review and comment on the workshop results.
|
 |
|
We
gathered expectations on cards.

Participants
brainstormed on what good health means in North Spirit Lake. The diagram
allows everyone to "spray" their ideas on to paper.
From
the spray diagram, we worked on another one, describing:
-
the vision or results that the health workers are working towards (large
bubbles),
-
the programs they are involved with (in
green),
-
the existing programs (in red)
-
how they are using the technology (in
red),
-
how they plan to use the technology that the SMART project brings to
the community (in orange),
and
-
what to measure to show that the visions or goals were being reached,
or that the programmes were moving ahead (yellow
sticky papers)
The
existing programs are: a) Mental health, b) Home visits for elders, c)
Training for medical support, d) Recreation programs, e) Healthy foods,
f) School lunch program, g) Nutrition program, and h) Healthy babies healthy
children. The programs that participants want to have are: a) Agriculture
training program, b) Diabetes programs, c) Cooking courses, and d) Refreshment
courses
The
table below is a summary made from the diagram. Many programme outcomes
contribute to more than one result. Programmes that are already using
SMART technology have red letters for phone (P),
video-conferencing (VC), personal computers with Internet (PCI); training
(TR), service support (SS); On-line services including list serves, chat,
discussion forum (OL); websites (W); and new technology (T). The future
use of technology for different programs is in orange (and we used the
same abbreviations as in the case of present use of technology).
