COVID-19: Five Learnings that Could Transform Ontario Healthcare
Gary Sims, Mike Lapaine, Dave Edwards and Pam McLaughlin
It is clear that the various organizations within the healthcare system in Ontario have cooperated to manage the challenge of COVID-19 and – together with the public – avoided the high volumes of cases seen in other areas of the world in the early weeks of the pandemic. We experienced tragic losses of life in long-term care and retirement residences, but other sectors stepped in to share the burden. In many areas, a great deal of problem-solving took place in a short time based on a limited but evolving understanding of the disease.
Are there lessons in this crisis that could make our system stronger as we face a second wave of the virus, and whatever lies beyond it? Based on our first-hand experiences through SWAHN, we believe there are.
