Longwoods Leadership Discussion with Dr. Chris Hayes, Chief Information Officer, Trillium Health Partners.
Joy in Work: Nicety or Necessity
The predicted shortage of the healthcare workforce has reached a crisis state. National and provincial agencies are advocating for greater resources and new strategies to close the gap required to deliver healthcare services to Canadians. However, most of these recommendations are aimed at increased funding to augment recruitment and clear healthcare need backlogs. Although retention strategies are included, they do not address the fact that the work environment is a local issue, one that healthcare organizations need to address with local strategies. This discussion will focus on the need for and methods to improve local sense of meaning and purpose, reduced burden and increased joy in work.

Healthcare is at the tipping point (finally) of going "Omnichannel". This means organizations and clinicians design and deliver care models that enable patients to access services (and the clinicians who deliver the care) at the most appropriate time and setting—whether virtual or in-person—across unified care delivery & administrative workflows, and a unified patient experience. The concept of “care, anywhere” has been talked about for decades in Canada. Hear this case study on integration and how it is NOW possible, at scale, for any care setting, clinical context or acuity level.

Rebalancing Care for Aging Canadians with SE Health
Wednesday Jan 18, 2023
Wednesday Jan 18, 2023
As pressures mount in healthcare settings across the country, how can we shift the financing and delivery of continuing care to better support older Canadians to live and age at home and in their communities? This Longwoods Breakfast briefing will explore how we can leverage evidence, experience, expertise and values to rebalance care, drive transformative change, and close the gap between current reality and what longstanding evidence tells us the health system needs. Join SE Health’s new President and CEO John Yip, in conversation with researchers Justine Giosa and Paul Holyoke, as they highlight an emerging impact-oriented model of ‘long-term life care at home’, informed by big data and input from aging Canadians, health and social care providers, system leaders, researchers and policymakers.

Our healthcare system is facing a critical moment as we rebuild from the pandemic. What have we learned about our healthcare system in response to the stress it faced? How should we approach building a better healthcare system that is both resilient to future crises and sustainable in the face of long-term stresses? The Partnership for Health Sustainability and Resilience, founded by AstraZeneca, the World Economic Forum and the London School of Economics is launching a Canadian report in partnership with Sara Allin, Associate Professor at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation (IHPME) at the University of Toronto. The report will assess Canada’s health systems across seven key domains: financing; governance; workforce; medicines and technology; service delivery; population health; and environmental sustainability, in order to identify strengths, potential weaknesses, opportunities and risks. We look forward to seeing the results of the report and discussing the key takeaways for Canada’s healthcare systems.

Falling through the Cracks: Missed Vaccines are Putting our Kids at Increased Risk of Cancer and Meningitis
The COVID-19 pandemic created a crisis in delivering routine and school-based vaccinations to school-age children, resulting in delayed and missed vaccinations for many children across the country. This is putting children at risk of preventable diseases, such as meningitis as well as human papillomavirus (HPV), which could lead to increased risk of cancer later in life. What is the extent of the problem and what are governments and public health agencies doing to catch-up on missed vaccinations? Join us for a discussion with clinicians and public health experts for how this issue has particularly impacted Ontario and what they think needs to be done to address the problem.

Stranger in a Strange Land: Moving from Toronto’s Hospital Row to PEI
The healthcare systems in downtown Toronto versus PEI could not be further apart. In May 2021 Dr. Gardam left academia to take on the role of CEO of the PEI provincial health authority, with the intent of trying to bring complexity science-based approaches to reforming Canada’s smallest provincial healthcare system, all while still in the grip of a pandemic. Working in a small system has laid bare the acute challenges facing Canadian healthcare, and has required Dr. Gardam to dig into fundamental issues that must be addressed if PEI is going to pull their system back from the brink. Join Dr. Gardam as he discusses these challenges and how Heath PEI is attempting to fix historic barriers to improvement.
