Clinical AI adoption is growing across Canada, but organizations continue to face challenges evaluating impact and determining whether implementations are ready to continue, refine, or scale. This webinar will share findings from a pan-Canadian environmental scan of clinical AI activity before introducing the CHIEF Executive Forum Clinical AI Toolkit, a practical, flexible resource designed to support real-world evaluation.

Participants will learn about the toolkit’s Minimum Viable and Expanded Evaluation approaches, KPI Library, readiness assessment, ROI approach, decision guidance, and supporting resources. Representatives from CAMH and SE Health will also share their experiences applying the toolkit in practice, including how they have used it to structure evaluation, select measures, and support decision-making, as well as lessons learned from putting the toolkit into use.

Join fellow CHIEF members for an evening of candid conversation about the decisions shaping Canadian healthcare. Meet colleagues beyond the usual digital health circle, share what your organization is wrestling with, and help identify the priorities CHIEF should bring forward in January and beyond.

Digital transformation now touches clinical operations, workforce, finance, quality, strategy, and system performance. This fall, we’d like to bring more of those perspectives into the room.

Public-sector CHIEF members are invited to bring an executive colleague whose role is increasingly shaped by digital, data, or AI, but who does not typically attend digital health events. They might lead clinical operations, quality, strategy, finance, nursing, medicine, or another portfolio.

Consider inviting someone with whom you regularly make decisions involving digital, data, AI, or technology.

To register an executive colleague, please contact chief@digitalhealthcanada.com.

This webinar will share outcomes from the Virtual Healthcare 101 (VHC 101) pilot, a library-based digital health literacy initiative co-designed with patient and community partners and delivered by the Virtual Care Program at London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph’s Health Care London. 

As healthcare increasingly shifts to digital-first models, equity-deserving populations continue to face barriers related to digital literacy and awareness of virtual care options. VHC 101 addresses a vital question: How do we ensure that the future of healthcare includes everyone in a system that is increasingly relying on digital tools? Using a co-design methodology alongside our community and patient partners, we created a 90-minute workshop designed to introduce community members to virtual healthcare and digital system tools and resources to help improve participants' knowledge of and comfort with accessing virtual care. 

The presentation will highlight key findings from the initiative, including measurable improvements in participant comfort with technology and understanding of virtual care options, insights from library partners, and six key drivers of digital inclusion identified through the pilot. The session will also explore lessons learned and the ways in which we are building out the program to ensure that the future of healthcare truly works to bridge the digital divide.
