e-Health Conference & Tradeshow

According to the National Library of Medicine, "The most vulnerable exchange point within the healthcare system is when a patient is required to transition from one healthcare service to the next, with the greatest potential of health disparities for older adults and chronically ill patients."

Whether a patient is being moved from acute care to a long-term care facility, or from an ER setting to a community clinic, implementing comprehensive, yet easy- to-use, transitional care solutions is vital to supporting positive patient outcomes - and for controlling costs by managing readmission rates. This session brings together representatives from across the healthcare ecosystem to discuss the challenges of implementing transitional care protocols, and how to leverage technologies to drive efficiency, promote collaboration, and mitigate risk.

Healthcare staffing shortages have long plagued the Canadian healthcare system, but COVID-19 made an undeniable impact that is still stretching resources like never before. How well healthcare organizations address scheduling challenges may not increase staff numbers, but it can greatly influence how they perform despite being understaffed.

This is part of the reason a growing number of Canadian hospitals and long-term care facilities are abandoning spreadsheets and generic scheduling solutions to manage the shifts of their staff. This panel will discuss how a web-based, healthcare-specific, staff scheduling solution can help address collective agreement compliance, last-minute schedule changes, and critical workflow management.
