Reflections in a Time of Crisis: What it Takes to Manage and Lead Integrated Systems of Care 

Viktoria Stein, Robin Miller, Jodeme Goldhar and Anne Wojtak

The leadership and management for integrated systems of care requires new capabilities, ones that challenge the status quo and overcome the institutionalized siloes within professions and within organizations. It requires shifting the way we design, lead and implement health and social care. This leadership imperative predates COVID-19, but the global pandemic has become the tipping point for change.

Longwoods Breakfast: Not Just a Land of Pilot Projects: Excellence in Care with and for Everyone with Jennifer Zelmer

June 8, 2021 with Jennifer Zelmer, President and CEO, Healthcare Excellence Canada. Everyone in Canada wants and deserves excellence in healthcare, but that is not the reality for all. Access to quality care is uneven; health outcomes vary even more widely. And great ideas for addressing these challenges often get stuck as pilot projects, benefiting only the lucky people in the organization or region served by the initial innovator. While that doesn’t have to be the case, it’s also true that safer, higher quality care at scale doesn’t just happen. Smart approaches that move wise practice from spread to scale – and build resilience in the health sector – will be key to health system transformation as we move beyond the current phase of the pandemic.

Longwoods Breakfast: New Day, New Ways: How Healthcare Can Be Different — and Better — in the Post-Pandemic World

May 5, 2021 with Dr. Verna Yiu, President and CEO, Alberta Health Services. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated and expanded change within Alberta Health Services (AHS) and other healthcare systems across Canada. But what happens when the pandemic is over? In her 30-minute presentation, Dr. Yiu envisions a new healthcare system for the post-pandemic world. She will discuss how change can transform the delivery of continuing, acute and community-based care, and how virtual health and the use of data/analytics could be two drivers of this change. If health leaders can build upon the momentum for innovation built during the pandemic, Dr. Yiu believes Canadians will benefit from improved access to care through health systems that are better designed for the 21st century.
