UHN Connected Care

UHN Connected Care is known for our ability to deliver sustainable change management programs. Born out of a variety of province-wide projects, we are focused on the healthcare experience as a whole. We have worked with and for stakeholders across the care continuum and garnered strong regional knowledge, including electronic referrals, electronic health records and emergency management systems.

Early years saw us introducing core foundational items to achieve transformation. While there was a heavy technology lift to our projects, our work has always been successful because of an integrated project and change management delivery approach. We continue to look to the future to see where healthcare needs to go, seeking solutions within and beyond digital health to enable what we want to do.

Today, we break down barriers to change and connect people who want to solve these problems, bringing policy makers, funders, thought leaders, clinicians and patients to the table to build solutions together. Working with our partners to bring life to great ideas, we use these ideas to create change through sustainable, shareable practices.
