Systems contribute to perpetuating systemic barriers and inequity. In response to social injustices, inequitable outcomes and experiences, many organizations and leaders are making bold commitments to address systemic racism and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Advancing these commitments requires more than responding to a call to action, but also developing the efficacy on how and what is needed to change at a micro and macro level.
Leaders within health and social care systems, can seek to advance organizational, structural and system change. Through examination of executive leadership within healthcare organizations across Canada, gaps exist whereby the distribution is often not reflective of the communities and populations served. To disrupt this status quo, understanding the experiences of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) within systems and as professionals across their career trajectory as emerging, senior, and tenured leaders is needed.
Amplifying the voices and perspectives of BIPOC health professionals and policy leaders. The resources to be shared are intended to shed light on levers, enablers, and action to support leadership development and organizational change through an equity lens. Through the reflections of keynote speakers and panelists hear insights on how healthcare executive leadership can cultivate organizational culture, social capital, development, and leadership pipelines that are meaningful in advancing and sustaining change.

With the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic every health system around the world has had to reexamine their clinical, operational, financial and workforce capacity and resilience. Those health systems that had prioritized some of their enterprise digital investments prior to the pandemic were able to cope better and rebound faster. However, many organizations are now emerging from the last wave, recognizing the need to finally address manual or inefficient workflows in order to reduce administrative burden on clinicians and staff, while harnessing enterprise data to provide insights and operational feedback that can bring joy, meaning and purpose back into an exhausted workforce.
As organizations pursue digital health initiatives and reimagine healthcare operations, a demand for new capabilities is emerging – workforce shaping. Workforce shaping is not just about simplifying tasks or reducing overtime but reexamining the job responsibilities and tasks at every level in the organization to consider new roles and skill mix that optimize the capacity of the organization. By improving data access across the organization, every level of decision-maker can act swiftly and with confidence to drive operational excellence, managing costs and ensuring quality of care.
Please join us for the upcoming webinar on September 22nd, 2021 where you will hear from health system leaders across North America who are harnessing digital platforms and data to support workforce shaping, advanced analytics and operational improvement.

Integrated Care Solutions for Ontario Health Teams
Keynote Speaker
Janet Davidson, Chair of CIHI’s Board of Directors
Creating purposeful partnerships with integrated community teams, is an effective way to collaboratively co-design models of care which support seamless patient transitions while reducing administrative burden and hospital congestion unique to your site. Alignment of vision and goals allows hospitals and integrated community teams to rapidly respond to changing needs and new opportunities in the healthcare space.
Through community partnerships, we will share examples of unique programs of care which support bundled funding models, frail elderly patients who are at risk of becoming ALC and ALC transitional rehab models. Performance metrics show significantly reduced hospital length of stay, reduced hospital readmission and reduced unnecessary emergency department visits but most importantly show more positive patient experience and outcomes.

Ontario Health Links Infographic
By Jessica Pavan, Esther Pollack and Will Falk
Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care tells us that 5% of patients account for 2/3 of healthcare costs. These are most often patients with multiple, complex conditions. When the hospital, the family doctor, the long-term care home, community organizations and others work as a team, the patient receives better, more coordinated care. Providers will design a care plan for each patient and work together with patients and their families to ensure they receive the care they need. For the patient it means they will :
- Have an individualized, coordinated plan
- Have care providers who ensure the plan is being followed
- Have support to ensure they are taking the right medications
- Have a care provider they can call who knows them, is familiar with their situation and can help.

“If you have a single child with a rare condition, you’re powerless to understand the cause,” says Dr. Kim Boycott, a geneticist and senior scientist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa. “But once you have a second or a third to compare, that gives us a chance for a match, for an answer." – André Picard, The Globe and Mail
