In this episode, Dr. Paul Wheatley-Price sits down with Shannon Farley, a Nurse Practitioner (NP) at the William Osler Health System in Brampton, ON. They chat about what an NP is and the difference with other types of nurses, current challenges in the ERs and how nurses play a role in "diverging" cancer patients away from the emergency room, and the role they play in a patients' oncology team.
In this latest episode of HIROC's Healthcare Change Makers podcast, Dr. Frank Martino, President and CEO of the William Osler Health System, reflects on his leadership journey while emphasizing the importance of remaining positive and aiming high in your career, especially in the context of leading one of Canada's largest community hospital systems. Dr. Martino highlights his organization's ambitious initiatives, including the adoption of an advanced hospital information system, new redevelopment projects, and a groundbreaking partnership with Toronto Metropolitan University's (TMU) School of Medicine. Our discussion also touches on Osler's commitment to innovation, such as incorporating technologies like artificial intelligence into future healthcare delivery. Throughout the interview, Dr. Martino's passion for healthcare and his commitment to building strong partnerships and a resilient, patient-centric culture shines through. He talks about the importance of cultivating a positive workplace, building psychological safety within his organization, and the value of learning from failures. Dr. Martino also delves into his thoughts on his outstanding healthcare team at Osler and their unwavering commitment during challenges posed by the pandemic, and how his organization has evolved to respond to the complexities of serving a growing and diverse community since he joined in 1991. Our conversation even turned personal for a moment as Dr. Martino shared a few heartwarming memories from his experience, including a critical life-saving moment early in his career, showcasing his dedication to his healthcare team. Quotables: “We were very proud of receiving accreditation with exemplary standing. Something that is the highest achievement that you would receive from Accreditation Canada. That allowed my staff to understand that they were exceptional healthcare workers and continue to be. Aim high and always be positive.” – FM “We as an organization have had to evolve. We've had to expand. We've had back-to-back redevelopments in our health system expanding the capacity that this community deserves.” – FM “And that is what we focus on, in addressing those challenges, with innovative projects and initiatives. Assuring that we communicate with our community. We go to them for advice when a new initiative or strategy has been put in place. We want to make sure we get the patient and caregiver perspective on how we should grow programs and what initiatives and innovations we should put in place, and whether they actually work for them.” – FM “When I go and do rounding, we call it ‘Let's be Frank,' or ‘Frank Conversations,' and during these frank conversations we work around a huddle board and it's been a huge success!” – FM “Our job is really to keep an eye on the future. Look at what healthcare will be like in 10, 20, 30 years. One area that we're going to start to focus on is looking at how artificial intelligence becomes part of the way we deliver care in the future. Harnessing it in an effective way, both in our workflow and in the way we intersect with patients.” – FM “I think culture is what really defines and organization. We at Osler look at people as one of our foundational enablers to our strategic plan. We are to deliver patient-inspired healthcare without boundaries. To achieve that, you need to have the ‘people' component of your organization inspired to provide the best care for both patients and families.” – FM “One mentor once told me, ‘you need to surround your yeses with a lot of no's,' so you need to focus on the things you know you can achieve and do them well and prioritize.” – FM “If I would give anyone advice, it's get out of your office, out of your chair, and walk. I love walking meetings.” – FM Mentioned in this Episode: Toronto Metro Metropolitan University School of Medicine Brampton Civic Hospital Etobicoke General Hospital Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health & Wellness The College of Family Physicians of Canada Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well by Amy Edmonson The University of Toronto Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) Family Medicine - Western University Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on Twitter, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

In this episode, Dr. Paul Wheatley-Price sits down with Dr. Shantanu Banerji, Associate Professor at UManitoba and Medical Oncologist at CancerCare Manitoba, and Dr. Parneet Cheema, Director of Cancer Care and Medical Oncologist at William Osler Health System, about all the new developments at ASCO this year.
A new review paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 15, Issue 8, entitled, “How can we modulate aging through nutrition and physical exercise? An epigenetic approach.” The World Health Organization predicts that by 2050, 2.1 billion people worldwide will be over 60 years old, a drastic increase from only 1 billion in 2019. Considering these numbers, strategies to ensure an extended “healthspan” or healthy longevity are urgently needed. In this new review, researchers Ana Teresa Rajado, Nádia Silva, Filipa Esteves, David Brito, Alexandra Binnie, Inês M. Araújo, Clévio Nóbrega, José Bragança, and Pedro Castelo-Branco from the ALFA Score Consortium, University of Algarve Campus Gambelas, William Osler Health System, and Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown discuss their present study that approaches the promotion of healthspan from an epigenetic perspective. Epigenetic phenomena are modifiable in response to an individual's environmental exposures, and therefore link an individual's environment to their gene expression pattern. Epigenetic studies demonstrate that aging is associated with decondensation of the chromatin, leading to an altered heterochromatin structure, which promotes the accumulation of errors. “In this article we explore aging and its associated epigenetic changes as well as how these changes may be delayed or reversed through nutrition, caloric restriction and sustained physical activity, as schematized in Figure 2.” Canonical histones are replaced by histone variants, concomitant with an increase in histone post-translational modifications (PTMs). A slight increase in DNA methylation at promoters has been observed, which represses transcription of previously active genes, in parallel with global genome hypomethylation. Aging is also associated with deregulation of gene expression - usually provided by non-coding RNAs - leading to both the repression of previously transcribed genes and to the transcription of previously repressed genes. “Age-associated epigenetic events are less common in individuals with a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition, caloric restriction and physical exercise. Healthy aging is associated with more tightly condensed chromatin, fewer PTMs and greater regulation by ncRNAs.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204668 Corresponding Author: Pedro Castelo-Branco - pjbranco@ualg.pt Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article: https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.204666 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging: https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts Keywords: epigenetics, aging, nutrition, caloric restriction, physical exercise About Aging-US Launched in 2009, Aging-US publishes papers of general interest and biological significance in all fields of aging research and age-related diseases, including cancer—and now, with a special focus on COVID-19 vulnerability as an age-dependent syndrome.

Libby Znaimer is joined by the Zoomer Squad including Marissa Lennox, Chief Policy Officer at CARP, David Cravit, Vice President of Zoomer Media, and Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine. In the news: the Canadian military conducted an assessment of the Woodbridge Vista Care Community home this past Sunday. This home has seen 22 residents die due to COVID-19 and the province handed over the facility to William Osler Health System to manage it temporarily because of its failure to manage the spread of the virus. Also, as protests against racism continued to unfold this past weekend in Toronto, and abroad, the question on many people's minds has become: will these activities seed another wave of COVID-19? Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

I was intrigued to speak with Dr. Herbert Brill of William Osler Health System regarding the study he did with other health care professionals on the efficacy of the DGP blood test with children referred for further consultation in screening for celiac disease. The study focussed on children with a negative TTG test and a positive DGP test. The study concluded the test was not useful in screening children for celiac disease in the general population.

Today, your host Ellen Gardner, Communications and Marketing at HIROC, speaks with Brendan Carr, President and CEO of William Osler Health System. He had always wanted to be a physician, but Brendan Carr’s educational journey started in business when he acquired an MBA. That experience – and time as a commanding officer in the naval reserve – taught him the value of situational leadership and the power of leading through influence and seeking different perspectives and ideas from those around him. That belief has been reinforced as a healthcare leader, where he feels the best ideas and chance for impact come from the end user. The opportunity to work in different healthcare systems across the country before coming to Osler has kept him curious and engaged. Brendan is acutely aware of the growing pressures on our healthcare system and the importance of not letting the drive towards greater efficiencies be done at the expense of quality and safety. Key Takeaways: [1:45] The value for Brendan of working in different healthcare systems [3:30] Why the fruition of full integration across the country hasn’t been possible [6:20] Why local conditions do matter in terms of what we can achieve for patients [7:19] Biggest accomplishment since he started in the job a year ago [8:05] The favourite part of his job [8:59] The fact that as leaders, we have to admit that at times we’re driving our systems for efficiency at the expense of safety and quality [12:28] Why every practitioner at Osler needs to know that in overcapacity situations, they can take whatever action is necessary to avoid a ‘never event’ [16:35] His belief that our greatest opportunities for change have to be co-created, using design principles that are driven by the end user [20:02] Earliest leadership lesson on why authoritarian leadership doesn’t always work [22:10] His belief that we need to love this system enough to let it evolve to where it needs to go, because it is not there right now [23:55] What he loves about coming to Ontario and Osler – on any day, he can be at all sites and interact with staff, teams, patients and families [25:35] The challenge of being an authentic leader [29:02] Why it’s rewarding to spend time with young, aspiring leaders [32:01] Showing up for work every day as people and human beings has a huge impact [34:05] Advice Brendan has received that has influenced his career and leadership style Mentioned in this Episode: William Osler Health System Mid-Staffordshire disaster Vancouver Island Health Authority Nova Scotia Health Authority Canadian Patient Safety Institute Listen to more interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com Follow us on Twitter, and listen on iTunes and Google Play Music.

Why is important that our seniors matter? Our seniors are the fabric that holds a community together. They laid the foundation for the success of our communities, and are still a vital and important part of it’s ongoing success. We thought it was important that seniors and their caregivers have a place to ‘go’ weekly to learn, share ideas, share experiences and create a new online community for the betterment of everyone, especially seniors. On “Making Our Seniors Matter” today: We speak with Aaron, Occupational Therapist but know at William Osler Health System as and Elder Life Specialist; Kuldeep, a Clinical Nurse Specialist from William Osler Health System; Yvette Logan from Peel Regional Police joins Glenn in studio to talk about a current SCAM targeting seniors; This and more on today’s Making Our Seniors Matter!
