Humber River Hospital - 2017/1018 Digital Annual Report

Innovation

Through innovative approaches, Humber is shaping the future of patient care at the bedside and in the operating room.

Breaking New Ground with the Opening of Canada’s First Hospital Command Centre

By working with a number of high technology partners, Humber River Hospital is positioned to create efficiencies that enhance patient care. The Command Centre is what ties all of the pieces together so that decisions can be made in real time to improve communication, create efficiencies and improve the patient care experience.

Canada’s First Ventral Hernia Repair with da Vinci® Surgical Robot

Humber Has the Edge on Lymphedema

Dr. Thomas Constantine performed one of the first supermicrosurgical procedures of its kind in Canada to relieve symptoms of lymphedema a condition that affects some after cancer surgery when lymph nodes are removed.

Quality Care

Chief of Staff and Chief Nursing Executive Message

We are grateful to Humber’s leadership team for its continued commitment to creating a supportive environment for our medical, nursing, and professional staff teams to provide exceptional, compassionate patient care this past year. 

Discharge Planning Pathway

In collaboration with the Central Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) and hospitals, Humber helped create the discharge planning pathway to standardize discharge planning. Humber then created the web-based iPlan application to centralize and align patient care services with home and community needs for timely access to care. iPlan, which captures an overview of all activity, was adopted by hospitals throughout the Central LHIN.
