CEO MESSAGE: Your chance to learn more about system improvements

October 21, 2024

Hi everyone,

We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully achieved our goals for the first phase of our transformation and learned a significant amount. As we reflect on this journey, we are eager to share our insights and unveil an expanded set of priorities for the next steps ahead.

Over the past 16 weeks, we have made significant strides in laying the groundwork and building the organizational muscle to tackle system transformation – a testament to our collective efforts and dedication. We couldn’t have done this without input from all partners, including those in the community, government, foundations, and staff. Thank you to everyone who has taken part in this work!

Opportunity For Detailed Overviews

The “At a Glance” section of this email includes an overview on the progress made in each workstream.

They are open to anyone in Health PEI, Department of Health, Health PEI Board, and Key Government Partners.

The forums will also be recorded and posted to the SRC Transformation Office web page.
 
Next Steps

To continue to use these newly developed abilities, we plan on introducing an expanded framework to guide our efforts in cultivating a resilient health system in PEI.

To do this, we will focus on three focused priorities. These areas have been identified through feedback from staff, community members, and our partners:

  1. Ensuring every Islander has more access to primary care,
  2. Improving access and flow to acute care services, and
  3. Building the foundation for accountability and excellence at Health P.E.I.

Together, we will continue to make great strides in building capacity to support teams in delivering better healthcare for all Islanders.
