Fragmentation is one of the most persistent challenges in Canada’s mental health system. Information sharing improves care and coordination, but non-harmonized privacy legislation can make it feel impossible. Converge invites you to join George Alvarez (Converge), Richard Mugford (Distress Centre Calgary), and Alisha Matte (BoardWalk Group) as they discuss the Information Sharing Framework (ISF), a practical guide for how organizations across sectors can work together to share information safely and appropriately. This session will provide an overview of the ISF and then ground it in real-world practice, including how panelists have applied the framework to reduce duplication, improve coordination, and strengthen systems. Whether you’re grappling with data sharing agreements, trying to build stronger referral pathways, or simply want a framework you can bring back to your organization, this session will give you both the theory and the practice.
We are here to answer any questions that you may have.
