Director, Advanced Analytics, St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto
The Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA) team is an applied data science team at Unity Health Toronto. Over the past 7+ years we’ve deployed more than 50 data science tools into practice across our hospitals. These range from staffing solutions (like assignment or scheduling) to operational (like ED department wait times or volume forecasting) through to clinical tools (like CHARTWatch, a deterioration prediction tool, and a suite of real time medical imaging tools).
This talk is broken into three parts:
- Who we are as a team, how we’re structured, and a focus on some of our deployments.
- We go into detail about some of our tools, the way we’ve approached deployments, the environment(s) we use, and some of the lessons we’ve learned along the way.
- A (very) fresh reflection on how a team like ours handles massive digital transformation. At the time of the presentation, we will be 2 months post-go-live with a new electronic patient record system. I’ll discuss what we’ve done in preparation (for more than a year), how we’re managing the redeployment of our tools to bring them back online, and what our immediate and longer-term future holds
