The Canadian Health Workforce Network is pleased to be hosting the 2023 International Health Workforce Collaborative (IHWC) on December 7th and 8th. As a hybrid conference, attendees are welcome to join us in Canada’s capital, at the University of Ottawa, or attend virtually.

This conference brings together policy makers, academics, researchers and practitioners from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom with responsibility for and interests in health workforce issues. This year’s theme is Innovative Approaches to Common Challenges.

Join us for a conversation with the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) CEO, Tim Guest, and Canada’s Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), Leigh Chapman focusing on strategies to address today’s health workforce challenges in the context of a global nursing shortage. This event titled “You can’t recruit your way out of a crisis” follows the International Council of Nurses (ICN) Congress, co-hosted by the CNA in Montreal this past July, where the issue of the global nursing shortage was brought to the forefront as one of the most prominent issues in today’s global health landscape.

In this talk, these nurse leaders will cover current issues, and strategic solutions for the future of nursing. With a focus on how we got here, and where we’re going, the discussion topics will include retention, ethical recruitment, and improving work environments for nurses. The speakers will also highlight their hopes for the future of nursing and Canada’s publicly funded healthcare system.

The Future of Health Leadership, Informatics, and Policy (FHLIP) conference is more than just an event; it is a mission-driven gathering dedicated to instigating a paradigm shift in health care. We envision a proactive rather than reactive approach to health care, and we believe that digital health policies are the catalysts to realize this vision.

At the FHLIP conference, our commitment extends beyond discourse. We will actively foster collaboration among various stakeholders, endorse the adoption of trailblazing technologies and scrupulously address issues around privacy, security and ethics. Our comprehensive approach aims to enhance patient outcomes, significantly reduce health care costs, and boost our health care system’s overall efficiency and sustainability.

The FHLIP conference is an initiative designed to lay the groundwork for a more resilient, patient-centric health care ecosystem. It will be a platform to explore best and next practices, identify challenges and question assumptions, and understand the roles of policymakers and vendors. We aim to influence a future where digital health is the norm, not the exception.

The main objective is to catalyze the development of proactive, innovative digital health solutions capable of addressing the ever-evolving challenges faced by the health care sector. In an era of rapid technological advancement and increasing health crises, such solutions are the key to sustainable, effective health care.

The conference provides a unique opportunity for participants to engage with top-tier experts, thought leaders, and innovators in digital health. It will facilitate the exchange of ideas, research findings, and personal experiences, and encourage participants to contribute to the global effort toward transformation in health care.

We invite you to be a part of this extraordinary journey as we strive to shape a better, more proactive future for health care together.
