She currently holds a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair for knowledge translation in child health. Her research program, translating Evidence in Child Health to enhance Outcomes (ECHO), aims to improve the health outcomes of children in Alberta and Canada through application of the best research evidence, as well as exploring factors that shape research implementation. - [home care tips](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/home-care/) - Here you will find resources that include tips for parents and families caring for their children at home, prior to or after seeking medical care. - [child health](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/child-health/) - Child health settings are unique, multidisciplinary settings encompassing a wide-range of healthcare professionals. Previous research points to the unique challenges of child health settings including higher emotional investment from health care professionals, the expectation of family-centered care, and unique ethical situations. - [storytelling](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/storytelling/) - Storytelling and art are powerful, ancient communication forms that can cut across age, culture, language, literacy, and gender barriers. Independently and together, they have the potential to create understanding through imparting knowledge and sustaining interest through meaningful connections with the recipients. Although recognized as an effective and engaging means of communication, storytelling and art have not been utilized to their full potential in the healthcare environment; however, there is increasing interest in their power to motivate, communicate, heal, and engage with multiple audiences. - [chronic pain](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/chronic-pain/) - While acute pain is our body’s way of letting us know something is wrong, chronic pain is very different, and can persist for months or years. - [ebook](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/ebook/) - Electronic Books (or eBooks) are useful tools in our modern digital age that can be used to combine storytelling and art in an electronic format to communicate across age, culture, language, literacy, and gender barriers. - [gastroenteritis](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/gastroenteritis/) - Gastroenteritis is an infection of the bowel (intestines) caused by a virus or bacteria that can cause diarrhea and vomiting. It is common in infants and children, and can cause the loss of important fluids and minerals (dehydration). - [croup](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/croup/) - Croup is a common respiratory illness caused by a viral infection. It can cause swelling of the upper airway, including the windpipe (trachea), voice box (larynx) and vocal cords. This swelling can lead to a hoarse voice, barky cough and sometimes difficulty breathing. - [whiteboard animation](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/whiteboard-animation/) - Whiteboard animation is the process of illustrating a story using a whiteboard (or a whiteboard like surface) and markers. The animations are accompanied with narration to provide an alternate form of storytelling in our modern digital age. - [ear infection](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/ear-infection/) - [research](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/research/) - [in the news](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/in-the-news/) - [trainees](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/trainees/) - [bronchiolitis](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/bronchiolitis/) - [nursing](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/nursing/) - [emergency](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/emergency/) - [covid-19](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/covid-19/) - [school](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/school/) - [cultural adaptation](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/cultural-adaptation/) - [Acute Otitis Media](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/acute-otitis-media/) - [talks competition](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/talks-competition/) - [needle poke](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/needle-poke/) - [children](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/children/) - [fever](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/fever/) - [child](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/child/) - [health](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/health/) - [sick](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/sick/) - [fevers](https://www.echokt.ca/tag/fevers/)
