Longwoods Healthcare Services RadioPractical Application of AI to Support Medical Event Prediction and Clinician Decision MakingArtificial Intelligence (AI) can introduce clarity to the clinical journey for the most-challenging diseases and treatment pathways.

Patients and their caregivers require physical and emotional care, especially as they enter the later stages of life. Failure to attend to personhood can be as subtle as being kept waiting for an appointment, as insidious as being required to wear a plastic hospital bracelet that tracks patients according to an institutional number or code, as jarring as being referred to as an aberrant body part - the proverbial "GI bleed in room two" or "breast tumor in room three."...2024-07-2243 minLongwoods Healthcare Services RadioIs Our Health System Ready for Where Science is Taking UsAfter decades of research and innovation, cell and gene therapies (CGTs) are unlocking new ways to revolutionize medicine.

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.

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.

COVID-19 has created historic financial pressures for Canadian hospitals. When the pandemic escalated in March 2020, hospitals everywhere ramped up in heroic and unprecedented ways in anticipation of a sharp rise in demand for services. Governments – both provincial and federal – increased health sector funding to expand hospitals’ capacity in case the curve was not flattened. But how much flexibility do hospitals have in deciding how they spend this money?

Shawn Drake, Tila Smith, and John King
Working on healthcare’s frontlines is, at best, dynamic and uncertain, and at worst, tumultuous. Under normal circumstances, methodologies behind planning, scheduling and deploying frontline workforce are highly emotive for the affected staff. During a pandemic – when the health workforce is essentially executing its roles in a continual state of emergency – stress and anxiety is exacerbated. Logic dictates that when practices of health workforce deployment (HWD) are transparent and accessible, frontline staff benefit.
