An important way that we can expand access to care is by equipping healthcare providers with the latest advancements in technology. In partnership with Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, we recently invested in an innovative electronic mobile application for home care providers in Winnipeg. This initiative is designed to increase home care capacity and reduce falls risk, which makes a positive impact on hospitals like Victoria Hospital and supports the transition from hospital to home. Our early investment set the stage for this technology to be adopted as the new standard across Manitoba.
Victoria Hospital is home to a robust surgery program that performs over 15,000 surgeries annually.
Thanks to our supporters, Victoria Hospital continues to keep pace with advancements in surgical technology. Through the generosity of our community, Victoria Hospital Foundation invested in technological upgrades to two minimally invasive surgery suites including high-definition cameras, flat-panel monitors, and video-conferencing equipment. But even more impressive than these upgrades are the benefits to patients, which include:
These enhanced suites create efficiencies that enable more surgeries to be scheduled per day. Staff benefit from working in an unencumbered environment with access to the latest technology, which helps Victoria Hospital to attract and retain expert surgeons.
Planning is currently underway for a more comfortable and supportive waiting room to enhance care for patients and families.
We are committed to investing in research that helps to shape the future of healthcare.
We recently partnered with Manitoba Medical Service Foundation to invest a combined $27,000 to support new research examining the potential role of artificial intelligence in enhancing emergency department processes for improved care.
We also recently invested in Her Heart Her Way, a free 12-month virtual program that pairs women at risk of heart disease with online mentors who support participants with heart-healthy nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices to help reduce their risk. Her Heart Her Way is a collaboration between Victoria Hospital Foundation, Reh-Fit Centre, Winnipeg Regional Health Authority through ACCESS Fort Garry, and the Government of Manitoba.In 2020, we formed a strategic partnership with Research Manitoba to advance research here in Manitoba and invest in made-in-Manitoba solutions from talented researchers here in our province. The research funded included groundbreaking COVID-19 clinical trials as well as the launch of our first-ever research competition with a focus on projects designed to support mental health and the care of older adults.
