Proposed Contractor Parachute 300-150 Eglinton Ave E. Toronto Ontario M4p 1e8 4. Definition Of Requirements Or Expected Results Unintentional Poisonings Are A Leading Cause Of Preventable Injury And Death In Canada, Particularly Among Children And Other Vulnerable Populations. Canada’s Five Regional Poison Centres Serve As Vital Resources For Both The Public And Medical Professionals Seeking Guidance On The Treatment Of Poisoning And Adverse Drug Reactions. Together, These Centres Manage Approximately 200,000 Cases Annually, Providing Valuable, Evidence–based Information On Exposures To A Wide Variety Of Products And Substances Regulated By Health Canada. Canada Did Not Have A National Poison Centre Surveillance System Until The Need Was Identified In 2013 And 2014 By Various Authorities. In Response, A Pan-canadian Task Force Was Established, Bringing Together The Canadian Association Of Poison Centres And Clinical Toxicology (capcct), Poison Centres, And Provincial, Territorial, And Federal Health Authorities, Along With Other Key Partners, To Collaborate On The Development Of The Canadian Surveillance System For Poison Information (csspi). In 2016, A Business Case Was Completed Outlining A Multi-year Implementation Plan For The Csspi Program, Including The Technical Development Of An Automated Surveillance Application On The Canadian Network For Public Health Intelligence (cnphi). Alongside The Csspi’s Implementation And Technical Development, Health Canada And Its Partners Have Been Nurturing And Expanding The Toxicovigilance Canada Network, While Also Conducting Public Outreach And Communication Activities With The Support Of Partners Such As Parachute, Canada’s Leading Injury Prevention Organization. Toxicovigilance Canada, Led By Health Canada, Is A Collaborative Network Of Various Disciplines And Jurisdictions That Strengthens The Capacity For The Timely Detection, Analysis, And Response To Poisonings, Substance-related Harms, And Toxic Chemical Exposures. With The Anticipated Rollout Of The Csspi Application On Cnphi In 2025-2026, The Program Will Achieve A Key Milestone: The Ability To Conduct Near Real-time Surveillance And Generate National Statistics On Poisonings. The Csspi Program Will Provide Critical Evidence To Support Core Departmental Responsibilities, Pan-canadian Toxicovigilance Initiatives, And Public Health Efforts Aimed At Poison Prevention, Through Knowledge Translation And Outreach Activities. The Objective Of This Contract Is To Support Public Outreach And Knowledge Translation To Enhance The Impact Of The Csspi Program And Strengthen The Toxicovigilance Canada Network. Over The Next Five Years, Health Canada Requires The Services Of A Contractor To Coordinate Pan-canadian Outreach And Communication Activities, Build Professional Capacity And Facilitate Knowledge Exchange Across A Broad Network In Canada, Support And Coordinate Csspi Face-to-face Meetings And Toxicovigilance Workshops With Key Stakeholders, And Lead The Publication Of The Pan-canadian Annual Data Reports.
