August 11 - Exploring the Shift in Healthcare Delivery

Exploring the Shift in Healthcare Delivery - Advanced Portable Diagnostic Imaging Tools: A Case Study

TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2020 - 5:00PM PT / 6:00PM MT / 8:00PM ET

COVID-19 has exposed vulnerabilities in healthcare systems around both diagnostics and treatment globally. These vulnerabilities include a strong dependence on expensive diagnostic equipment (e.g. CAT scans and MR) that are typically available only at hospital centers. From March 2020, COVID-19 caused outpatient volumes at most hospitals to drop significantly leading some US healthcare providers to lay off qualified staff and even to declare insolvency. In Canada, COVID-19 has raised questions about how best to provide universal healthcare that include not only managing the well-being of COVID-19 patients but also, cancer screening to continue to save lives during a pandemic. This seminar will discuss the need for and the emergence of advanced portable diagnostic imaging tools such as a world first dual energy portable X-ray that can be used within clinics, hospitals, long term care facilities and even at home to enable resilient healthcare systems at a global level.

The panelists include:

Rifat Khimani - Co-Chair, Ismaili Nurses Alliance, Member, Aga Khan Health Board (moderator)
Karim S. Karim - Executive Director, Center for Bioengineering and Biotechnology, University of Waterloo

August 18 - Virtual Care: A Risk Management Checklist

Virtual Care: A Risk Management Checklist

TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2020 - 5:00PM PT / 6:00PM MT / 8:00PM ET

To respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, health providers have been forced to take unprecedented measures of closing their doors and restricting access to in-person services. This has accelerated innovation and the adoption of virtual care solutions to enable health providers to connect clinical services with those in need. As we begin to come out of COVID lockdown across the country, it is clear that virtual care is here to stay as an alternate or additional model of care. This webinar will offer an overview of general legal requirements and privacy and security challenges with virtual care. Participants will leave with a risk management checklist of essential action items for every health provider engaging in virtual care.

The panelists include:

Ryaz Chagpar - Chairman, Aga Khan Health Board for British Columbia (moderator)
Karima Kanani - Partner, Miller Thomson LLP
