Healthcare costs are growing rapidly, and they constitute the single largest expense for provincial and territorial governments across Canada. COVID-19 exacerbated long-term challenges such as wait times, bed occupancy, operating room scheduling, and health human-resource management, making healthcare organizations even more complex to manage efficiently.
After a dozen years, the Centre for Healthcare Engineering has become one of a small group of international leaders in making an impact on the healthcare system.
