With a goal to deliver innovative health services and technologies to patients right where they are, the University of Waterloo has partnered with St. Mary’s General Hospital and Grand River Hospital to launch Care Next Coalition.
The Coalition will bring clinicians, researchers and entrepreneurs together to develop educational programs, test cutting-edge technologies, and create integrated care systems that make health care more personalized, accessible and efficient. In rooting this work in a clinical —as opposed to academic— setting, researchers will be able to streamline processes and enable clinicians and other health-care team members in health innovation and entrepreneurship.
The Coalition not only promotes innovation education and experimentation to attract health-care entrepreneurs to the region, but enhances how hospital health-care services are provided to communities, ultimately enhancing the patient experience, improving health outcomes and transforming the health-care system locally.
