Administrative Datasets

Rationale: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that is very common (7.9% ofCanadians over the age of 12). Despite numerous clinical guidelines, education events and administrativedata reviews, there has been little change to the way asthma is managed in the Canadian health caresystem for nearly 30 years. We evaluated, through the Physician Learning Program (PLP) in Alberta,possible reasons why administrative datasets have not been able to provide meaningful information toadjust health policy. Methods: Provincial data was attained through Alberta Health Service and Alberta Health on pulmonaryfunction testing from 2005-2011 (through the PLP). The number of asthma diagnosis made during the sametime frame were then compared. Results: The preliminary results of the PLP found that spirometry was billed for roughly half as often asthe asthma diagnostic codes were utilized during the same time frame. However, the review also revealedinconsistencies in how administrative data are captured, making it difficult to determine whetherspirometry is being underutilized by physicians in making asthma diagnoses. Conclusions: Inconsistencies in how administrative data are captured in Alberta may be contributingto an incomplete picture of the rates of asthma diagnosis and physiological testing, and may explain, inpart, the limited influence of administrative datasets on guiding meaningful change within the healthcaresystem.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of special education practitioners (i.e., speech-language pathologists, special educators, para-educators, and other related service providers) on their role as communication partners after participation in the Social Communication and Engagement Triad (Buckley et al., 2015 ) yearlong professional learning program. Method A qualitative approach using interviews and purposeful sampling was used. A total of 22 participants who completed participation in either Year 1 or Year 2 of the program were interviewed. Participants were speech-language pathologists, special educators, para-educators, and other related service providers. Using a grounded theory approach (Glaser & Strauss, 1967 ) to data analysis, open, axial, and selective coding procedures were followed. Results Three themes emerged from the data analysis and included engagement as the goal, role as a communication partner, and importance of collaboration. Conclusions Findings supported the notion that educators see the value of an integrative approach to service delivery, supporting students' social communication and engagement across the school day but also recognizing the challenges they face in making this a reality.

Service learning (SL) is a form of experiential learning in which students are involved in community service activities that are related to academic course objectives. A key aspect that separates SL from other forms of experiential learning is the mutually beneficial nature of the service activities. Much of the SL and international SL (ISL) literature has focused on positive learning outcomes for students, with much less focus on the benefits of SL to the community. Speech, Language, and Hearing Services (SLHS) in Zambia is an intensive SL short-term study abroad program. This paper describes the benefits to the community via the SLHS in Zambia program.
