Keynote Address | Our Building, Our Health: Scaling Up Success across Canada |
In Health care, sometimes the simple changes we make to the way we function every day end up having the biggest impact on people. whether it's giving patients and providers the ability to adjust the temperature in their rooms, or changing the way we schedule specialist appointments - everyone who works in the system has the ability to bring about change that matters. If we look for the opportunities to do more with less and think outside of the box, we can deliver a better care experience, improve people's health and lower costs inside the health care system at the same time. The challenge is to move from the pilot project to the system solution, so that success benefits all Canadians. To achieve that goal, we each have a role to play.
Dr. Danielle Martin Dr. Danielle Martin sees the cracks and challenges in our health care system every day. A family doctor and national media commentator on the health issues that hit closest to home for Canadians, Dr. Martin speaks with passion on our national health-care system, defending and defining the ways we can make it even more worthy of our immense national pride. Her debate on the merits of the Canadian vs. American health systems in a U.S. Senate Subcommittee hearing in Washington, with Senator Richard Burr and Bernie Sanders, the video of her testimony went viral and has since achieved over 1.3 million views. Currently, Dr. Martin practices in the Family Practice Health Centre at Women’s College Hospital, where she is also the Vice-President of Medical Affairs and Health System Solutions. In 2006, her first year of practice, Dr. Martin helped launch Canadian Doctors for Medicare, representing Canadian physicians who believe in a high quality, equitable, and sustainable health system, and chaired its board until 2013. She went on to help found the WCH Institute for Health System Solutions and Virtual Care – a hub of innovation dedicated to solving the health gaps in our system. In 2015, Dr. Martin was named Canada’s eighth most powerful doctor by The Medical Post, and in 2013 was named one of The Toronto Star’s top “13 People to Watch”. In the media she is a regular contributor to CBC TV’s The National, and writes a monthly column for Chatelaine magazine. Her upcoming book, Better Now: Six Big Ideas to Improve Health Care for All Canadians, will be published in early 2017. |

Track 5: | Understanding Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and the Great Benefits to Patients and the Healthcare Industry Presentation |
Dr. Stephanie Taylor, CEO and Founder, Taylor Healthcare Consulting, Inc, Stowe VT | |
CCHFM Core Competency: Compliance |
Engineers put much thought and work into designing and managing building HVAC systems with the goals of preserving building materials, conserving energy consumption and keeping occupants comfortable. The primary function of most buildings, however, should be to protect the health and safety of people. Paradoxically, the intersection of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and occupant health or disease is one of the least understood subjects in the field of public health! This is not from intentional neglect of engineers, but from lack of medical research on IAQ and health. Two significant trends are occurring in this century: people spend more and more time indoors, and the incidence of chronic disease is higher than ever before. Are these two factors related? If so, how can indoor air management support occupant health and not promote chronic illnesses? Objectives: |

CCHFM Core Competency: M&O, Compliance, PDC |
Today’s hospital facility manager has what appears to be hundreds of priorities, codes and standards to follow and ultimately solutions and approaches to address infection control issues. What are the priorities? And how do I engage with infection control? What are the codes and standards that I have to or should follow? And how do I keep up with them and train my staff? What are the solutions and approaches available in industry? And how do I evaluate, choose and fund them? And to all of this – what is the real outcome? This presentation will take you on a whirlwind journey (not over the falls) where we have jointly worked with and alongside our infection control team to navigate with some good (and celebrated) success.

CCHFM Core Competency: Compliance |
Extensive literature exists regarding various infection prevention and control measures intended to reduce healthcare associated infections (HAIs). CSA Z8000 standard on health care facilities has been developed by experts and published in 2011. It provides guidance on how to best design health care facilities to make them efficient, accessible, safe, sustainable and minimize health care acquired infections. The focus of the research project is to examine various design elements found in CSA Z8000 as they relate to infection prevention and control. We now have a number of new and renovated hospitals that have implemented the measures found in CSA Z8000 and many of these facilities have volunteered to share data. The results of the analysis of this data will identify trends and confirm the effectiveness of the standard for selected design elements such as single patient room, and recommend enhancements for continuous improvement of the standards. |

Track 8A: | Preventing Hospital-Acquired Infections Through Evidence-Based Design: Humber River Hospital Experience - Sponsored by Abatement Technology Presentation |
Nataly Farshait, Director of IPAC, Humber River Hospital, Toronto ON | |
CCHFM Core Competency: PDC |
Healthcare providers function in the environment of enormous responsibilities and constant multitasking. Both infrastructure and design play a vital role in supporting healthcare workers in providing the safest and the most efficient care to patients. Moreover, hospital design is an essential aspect of the healthcare preparedness to the challenges of new and emerging infectious diseases, as well as higher public expectations and awareness of healthcare related risks. There is a clear evidence that use of technology and a well-designed physical space plays an essential role in making our hospital safer for patients, visitors, and employees. Future research is needed to correlate clinical outcomes, specifically related to hospital-acquired infections, with the individual role of the multifactorial design interventions. |
