Why focus on system complexity?

Because those who work to solve Canada's health workforce challenges understand that focusing on just one solution cannot yield true impact: a web of interconnected factors surrounds every challenge, new and old.

What it's about:

This past year has seen familiar challenges - retention, staff shortages, working with the education sector - take on new features as other complex systems outside of healthcare leave their mark.

How to make progress in the face of this?

It begins by acknowledging the roles we each have to play as we collectively embrace system complexity and work to develop new, resilient and adaptive solutions.

Take part in an action-oriented couple of days with focused workshops on Canada's most pressing health workforce issues, designed to foster tangible and meaningful solutions that could only come out of a gathering of minds.

Why participate?

We know too well the challenges that impede progress in health workforce planning - but when viewed through this lens of system complexity, we can begin to ask ourselves different questions, to acknowledge our various roles in collectively working together - and ultimately, to make progress in the face of interconnected challenges.

Explore topics including interprovincial credential recognition, team-based care, rural and remote solutions, education and AI with a group of people who, collectively, hold the knowledge and ability to create the system-level change we're all wanting to see.

Who it's for:

The event is intended to support collaboration amongst:

  • Health system leaders, as they strengthen health workforce data and planning
  • Federal-Provincial-Territorial (FPT) governments, as they implement policy and funding decisions
  • Employers and regional health authorities, as they implement on-the-ground workforce strategies
  • Professional associations, regulatory bodies, unions, and the health workers they represent, in ensuring a strong healthy health workforce
  • Caregivers and patients as they partner in care giving
  • Members of the education sector who work to prepare the workforce of tomorrow
  • The research community and students as they contribute to the overall knowledge about health workforce in Canada
  • First Nations, Inuit and Métis organizations interested in health workforce planning and care delivery
  • Special interest organizations such as those focused on equity, diversity and inclusion, internationally educated health workers, language concordance, etc.
  • International health workforce organizations interested in collaboration and shared learning
