Industry Showcase - From Pilot to Practice: Governing AI in Canadian Health Care (September 22, 2026)

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

AI is no longer a pilot in Canadian health care — it's already running triage, scribing, and clinical workflows. But governance hasn't kept pace: technology leaders now face unanswered questions about visibility, accountability, and patient data protection.

We'll walk through what governance looks like as an operating capability rather than a policy binder — discovering every AI asset across the environment, governing risk and compliance continuously, securing agent identities and access, and measuring value on an ongoing basis.

Join this webinar to see how you can bring visibility, security, and proof to every AI system across your health organization. Walk away with a good understanding of the five pillars your leadership team needs to help you turn AI pilots to a fully governed and secure practice.

Webinar Wednesday - A Living Lab Approach to Advance Digital Tool Testing and Implementation (September 30, 2026)

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

The model integrates simulations, co-creation, clinical observations, and strategies for spread and scale.

Webinar Wednesday - Virtual Health Care 101: Improving Digital Health Literacy through Community Workshops (October 21, 2026)

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:00:00 GMT

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.
