With an annual budget of more than $1 billion and 1,100 inpatient beds, the Network provides the full spectrum of care from primary, secondary, community, tertiary and quaternary care services to post-acute through rehabilitation, palliative care and long-term care.
Rooted in the legacy of our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph, the three organizations share a commitment to Catholic healthcare, a vocation to serve the most vulnerable and those most in need with compassion and dignity; to improve health and the overall social determinants of health, rather than just treat disease. True to Catholic Social Teaching, a calling to social justice and the common good, our organizations prioritize a holistic and compassionate approach, recognizing the whole person in the community, the fundamental link between spirituality and healing, and the diverse cultural and spiritual needs of those served.

The hospital’s palliative care program offers seven days a week patient admissions for people approaching the end of life.

Its teams also help to diagnose and manage chronic illnesses at its ambulatory clinics. St. Joseph’s areas of specialty include mental health, cardiology, diabetes and nephrology, with St. Joseph’s also being home to tertiary care programs in bariatrics, thoracic surgery and hepatobiliary surgery.

It is also one of the province’s major sites of care for critically ill patients and runs provincial programs in the treatment of diseases such as multiple sclerosis and cystic fibrosis – the largest of such clinics in Canada.
St. Michael’s is currently undergoing a major redevelopment project that will help position the site to become Canada’s premier critical care hospital.

Founded on the principle of mutuality, the CMPA is a not-for-profit, mutual defence organization in which the cost of medical liability protection is shared by its almost 100,000 physician members across Canada.

L’ACPM est une organisation de protection à but non lucratif qui se base sur le principe de la mutualité, au sein de laquelle les frais de protection en matière de responsabilité médicale sont partagés par ses quelques 100 000 médecins membres provenant des quatre coins du pays.

Il/elle représente l’ACPM avec intégrité, détermination et professionnalisme, et agit en tant que porte-parole auprès des médias et des acteurs du milieu, en plus de guider et de superviser les relations de l’ACPM avec les divers intervenants ainsi que ses initiatives de communication partout au Canada, mais plus particulièrement au Québec.
La personne idéale possède une compréhension approfondie du secteur des soins de santé au Canada, y compris des questions juridiques, réglementaires et médico-légales afférentes, en plus d’une expérience d’au moins cinq ans dans un poste de haute direction. Dotée de fortes capacités en matière d’analyse, de prise de décision et de résolution de problèmes, celle-ci fait preuve d’une intégrité sans faille et offre invariablement un excellent rendement, même dans des conditions stressantes. De plus, sa vaste expérience dans l’établissement et le maintien de relations avec divers intervenants démontre ses brillantes aptitudes politiques, diplomatiques et interpersonnelles, lesquelles permettent de gérer efficacement différents intérêts dans l’atteinte d’objectifs communs. En tant que leader, le/la titulaire du poste possède un style de gestion ouvert de même qu’une feuille de route jalonnée de réussites dans la direction d’équipes hautement performantes ayant surpassé leurs objectifs.

St. Michael’s Hospital, Providence Healthcare and St. Joseph’s Health Centre (the Network), fully affiliated with the University of Toronto, the largest research entity in Canada, is seeking an international leader in research and innovation to serve as their next Vice President, Research & Innovation.
On August 1, 2017, three hospitals in Toronto, Ontario, Canada officially united under a single health network (Providence Healthcare, St. Joseph’s Health Centre and St. Michael’s Hospital) to advance the health of our patients, clients and residents, and our urban communities. The Network’s more than 10,000 staff and physicians serve communities from Etobicoke to Scarborough. With an annual budget of more than $1 billion and 1,100 inpatient beds, the Network provides the full spectrum of care from primary, secondary, community, tertiary and quaternary care services to post-acute through rehabilitation, palliative care and long-term care.
The Network is fully affiliated with the University of Toronto (U of T), the largest research entity in Canada. The Faculty of Medicine at U of T is ranked the top medical school in Canada, and among the top 20 worldwide. U of T Medicine researchers collaborate with researchers all over the world. Last year, they co-authored more than 12,000 papers with researchers in 153 counties ranging from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. The Faculty of Medicine and its affiliated hospitals form one of the leading health sciences centres for research and education in North America. The hub centres on the Toronto Academic Health Sciences Network – nine teaching hospitals fully affiliated with U of T and four associate member institutions – and extends to another 20 community-affiliated hospitals and healthcare sites in the Greater Toronto Area and beyond.
Research at the Network is conducted by 244 world-class scientists in two main areas - the Keenan Research Centre for Biomedical Science, which focuses on basic and translational science research, and the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, which focuses on clinical and health services research. Our Network’s research funding totals $78 million annually. The Keenan Research Centre for Biomedical Science is home to basic science and translational research at the Network. Our researchers target common and high burden illnesses that are important to patients. Our research teams strive to make discoveries that will improve patients’ lives. The Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute runs clinical trials and specializes in research on health services and policy, population health, global health, indigenous health and knowledge translation research at the Network. Our focus is on conducting research and disseminating knowledge that is relevant for our health-care system and important to our patients.
The VP, Research and Innovation role is a rich mix of operational and strategic responsibilities. Reporting to the President and CEO, the VP, Research and Innovation will provide leadership in promoting the Network’s research culture by fostering an environment conducive to high quality scholarship informed by and grounded in the Network’s values and focused on the highest quality patient care. In addition to oversight of the larger research portfolio, the Vice President will have an expanded role with responsibilities for working directly with the Network’s Executive Committee and the Research & Education Committee of the Network's Board on developing a vision for the future of research within the three hospitals as well as trans-institutional strategies. The successful candidate will also work closely with leaders from the Toronto Academic Health Sciences Network (TAHSN), a dynamic network of academic health organizations comprised of the University of Toronto and 13 academic hospitals including Providence, St. Joseph’s and St. Michael’s.
The next Vice President will be a leader in the world of health research.

Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority
The Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority –Stanton Territorial Hospital (NTHSSA) is offering challenging work and work life balance. Stanton Territorial Hospital (STH) is a 100 in-patient bed accredited facility, located in Yellowknife Northwest Territories (NWT). This is an exciting time to work at Stanton as the hospital is undergoing major redevelopment with a new $350 million facility being built with operations scheduled to transition into the new facility in 2019, for more information on the redevelopment visit www.stantonrenewal.ca. STH is the referral center for approximately 43,000 NWT residents and 5,900 residents from the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut. STH provides health care services to adults and children on an inpatient/outpatient and outreach basis in order to restore health with dignity. STH maintains a tobacco free environment within the building and throughout the property, recognizing the health hazards associated with tobacco in the workplace, both to smokers and non-smokers alike. Therefore, Stanton maintains a tobacco free environment within the building and throughout the property. The position will be located within Stanton and report directly to the Manager of Diagnostic Services, playing a lead role in a team that provides diagnostic imaging (DI) services to the entire population of the Northwest Territories. The incumbent will be the key subject matter expert and provide application development and support services to a variety of users in regards to NWT PACS and PACS integration to various other eHSS systems including Voice Recognition within Radiology, the NWT inter operable Electronic Health Record (iEHR) and Radiology Information System (RIS). These users depend on the integrity and availability of the PACS system, including the business functionality provided by the applications, and data collected and used through them.
The NWT PACS system serves as the information system foundation for all NWT DI services, an integral part of medical diagnostic services. It is a territory wide system including primary PACS systems in two hospitals and two large Health Centers in the NWT (Stanton, Inuvik Regional Hospital, H.H. Williams Memorial, and Fort Smith Health Centre), integrated with Radiology Information Systems (RIS) and multiple modalities (equipment and electronic data) within these facilities; secondary integrated systems in eighteen (18) Community Health Centres located across the NWT; integrated Voice Recognition; and integration to out-of- territory PACS systems for contracted radiologist services and patient-centered care access. All images captured through PACS and modalities at the various locations are transmitted electronically to the PACS at Stanton's DI Department and Stanton's contracted radiology services for interpretation of diagnostic images and reporting. The NWT produces approximately 45,000 Diagnostic Imaging examinations annually. As the information in the PACS is used for diagnosis and treatment in direct patient care, timeliness and availability of the application is of the essence, and could mean the difference between life and death.
The incumbent also provides application and systems expertise and leads day to day operations, including all problem/incident resolution that cannot be resolved at the user or the local level, system maintenance, change management, key user education and training, equipment interfacing, development, upgrade, and implementation work for PACS application(s). This work will include integration testing, privacy, security, data integrity, system administration and coordination amongst a broad group of NWT users, system technical experts and out-of-territory users. Additionally, the incumbent chairs the NWT PACS User Group and will ensure existing PACS application standards are developed and consistently applied and maintained across the territory.
The incumbent acts as a lead in design, development, and enhancement projects to implement solutions that support the strategic direction of NWT DI and HSS service delivery, and policies and practices that affect the business processes as they pertain to the NWT PACS.
In addition to working with the business user community, the incumbent will work closely with local PACS Administrators/Super Users and staff at the four PACS sites and 18 community health centres in the NWT to ensure standard procedural practice of the PACS, and to provide technical and functional support and systems management of the Direct Radiography portable x-ray units integrated with the PACS system.
The incumbent may also provide radiology technical expertise to nurses and assigned personnel in remote communities with the production of basic x-rays (extremities and chest).
Typically, the above qualifications would be attained by:
A minimum of two years of PACS administration experience; preferably 1 year of working in a northern/rural environment; and, advanced knowledge of other computer applications and operating systems such as: Windows, MS Office, Word Processing, Excel, PowerPoint, email and internet.
Following equivalencies will be considered:
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Imaging Technology, or equivalent • Minimum 2 years of experience as an Informatics Administrator or similar level • Strong information technology skills with emphasis in system administration, user management, network troubleshooting and performance monitoring, database/SQL administration, process automation scripting • Knowledge of PACS, RIS, Imaging modalities, and associated workflow would be an asset
