1:30 PM PRESENTATION: Driving Regional Operational Excellence – Start-to-Finish Care Models for Sustainable, Patient-Centred Health

Regional hospitals face unique challenges — tighter budgets, workforce shortages, and increasing demand for continuity of care. By adopting start-to-finish care models, health services can streamline patient journeys, reduce unnecessary transfers, and strengthen financial sustainability while maintaining quality outcomes. In this session, a hospital CEO shares how regional systems can do more with less, integrate preventative care, and build a model of operational excellence that delivers seamless, sustainable care close to home. 

  • Improving efficiency and sustainability through integrated start-to-finish care models 

  • Enhancing patient continuity and reducing costly inter-hospital transfer 

  • Embedding prevention and early intervention to reduce long-term system strain
