Shez Partovi, Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer, Royal Philips and Darran Fischer, Managing Director, Philips Canada

A Longwoods Breakfast Series event.

As we look to a post-pandemic world, healthcare industry leaders are asking themselves – how do we transform the technology we turned to in times of crisis into efficient, sustainable, secure solutions that drive quality, proactive care both within a hospital and in the community? Quality care delivered both within and beyond the hospital walls requires a range of foundational elements: informatics and data integration to deliver healthcare anywhere; interoperable, secure IT networks; and adoption of a cloud-based platform approach for flexibility and scalability. This session will discuss the need for a solid foundation on which new models of care delivery can be developed to provide connected, virtual, patient-centered care across the health continuum, bringing care closer to where patients are.
