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.
