Reports to: Senior Project Manager Clinical Reinvention

Overview

The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) is widely recognized as one of the world's leading children's hospitals - a pioneer in healthcare, research, education, and training. Building on our rich history and track record, as we look to the future, SickKids requires a significant investment in facilities, equipment and information technology to meet the changing needs of our patients and families, and to maintain the level of service for which we are globally recognized.

In 2015, SickKids launched Project Horizon, a long-term plan for the renewal of the SickKids campus and the foundation for an integrated and seamless paediatric healthcare system. Project Horizon is a multi-year phased redevelopment project to transform the delivery of paediatric care, meet growth needs and replace aging, outdated infrastructure. The goal of Project Horizon is to ensure that SickKids can continue to deliver top quality, specialized paediatric care, through investing in the facilities and technology required to achieve this important mandate.

In addition to the already completed Patient Support Centre (PSC), Project Horizon planning includes 1) the build of a new Ambulatory Care Tower (ACT) at a site less than 1km away from the existing University Avenue (UA) site, 2) the decanting and demolition of existing Black and Hill Wings through a series of Early Works renovations, 3) the build of a new Critical Care Tower (CCT), and 4) modernization of existing Atrium and Burton. Project Horizon will be delivered in sequential phases, given its size and complexity, starting with the development of the ACT and Early Works.

The construction of these facilities represents the physical changes expected; however, Project Horizon will have other impacts, including 1) reinvention of workplace and culture to support future practices, 2) clinical reinvention to improve, modernize and future proof care delivery with technology and AI as important enablers, and 3) increased patient and family-centered engagement and collaboration.

The Benefits Of These Changes Are

• Enhancement of a culture and environment for innovation and excellence in clinical care, education and research
• Improved quality, safety and clinical outcomes
• Empowered patients and families
• Clinical provider access to tools, technology and facilities supporting greater efficiency and productivity
• Medical administration and corporate services staff access to space, tools and technology to enhance productivity and improve engagement
