When we hosted the health care summit at Sheridan in late January—that was a convened round table, as I said—I was quite impressed by the discussion and the solutions. They're not particularly mind-blowing. The problem is one of talent. We heard that it is one of scope of practice and ensuring that the full scope of professional practice is duly leveraged. It is about model of care—the right care at the right time and the right place.
A lot of the solutions that came to the table from partners focused on many of the themes we've talked about today, such as collaboration, the use of technology, outreach to underserved communities and the use of data to inform where we're going and what needs to happen.
I'm compelled to just underscore that I've worked in medical education for about half of my post-secondary career. The challenges of ensuring that we have the right talent in ancillary services to position physicians and more specialized talent to do their jobs is critical. An absence of focus on PSWs, practical nurses and administrative medical support staff.... I think that deserves our focused attention right now.
