An Interprofessional Approach

The Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie’s interprofessional approach means that professionals from different fields—including doctors, mental health professionals, and health promoters—work together to promote access to the full range of healthcare services we offer our clients. Team meetings, cooperation among colleagues, and internal benchmarks mean that the interprofessional team treats health problems in a way that takes every aspect of the client’s health into consideration, while addressing the social determinants of health.

Our interprofessional approach also means that personal information can be shared among professionals to allow them to select the best treatment strategy to improve the clients’ health.

Canadian Index of Wellbeing

Canadian Index of Wellbeing: a framework for measuring what matters!

The Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW) at the University of Waterloo analyzes how well people in the province are really doing in the areas of their lives that matter the most.

CIW tracks changes in eight quality of life categories or “domains” including:

  • community vitality
  • democratic engagement
  • education
  • environment
  • healthy populations
  • leisure and culture
  • living standards
  • time use

To learn more about the CIW, visit their website.

Alliance for Healthier Communities Model of Health and Wellbeing 

The Alliance for Healthier Communities has developed an evidence-informed Model of Health and Wellbeing (MHWB) to guide delivery of primary health care.

The model defines health in the same way as the World Health Organization: “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

Like the World Health Organization, our goal is to achieve better health for all. To reach this goal, the Alliance for Healthier Communities model champions transformative change for people and communities facing barriers to health.

For more details on this model, visit the Alliance for Healthier Communities website.
