Event Overview
Navigating to a Better Future in Healthcare
The healthcare sector has embraced a few years of turbulence as they dealt with immense pressure to be sustainable and resilient. The pandemic has placed a spotlight on the healthcare sector by making the key challenges of this industry top of mind for all citizens. Employee burnout, increasing turnover, rising concerns for equality and accessibility to primary/virtual care, and the rapid growth of the aging Canadian population is only the tip of the problems faced in the industry.
Growing collaboration between public and private sector has introduced new areas of collaboration which can help this sector pivot into becoming more prepared to provide preventative and personalized care. The growing suites of services can help alleviate and provide remedies for some of the current challenges, but it introduces concern for privacy among citizens. How can healthcare leaders identify promising areas of opportunities to innovate and deliver improved patient outcomes at lower costs?
To help you on this journey, Public Sector Network brings together the Healthcare Roadshow 2023 where trailblazers and leaders will share their best practices and key lessons highlighting how they are navigating their organization through turbulent times.
