Siuwin’s Session

Amid significant budget constraints, Ontario’s healthcare system faces a projected funding shortfall in the coming years—even as an aging population and record population growth escalate demand for services. With real-term cuts already straining hospitals, advancing digital innovation and AI is no longer optional; it’s a pragmatic necessity to safeguard quality care.

In this presentation, he will:

• Share Halton Healthcare’s progress in AI and digital transformation,

• Outline strategies for innovation without new budgets,

• Highlight low-cost, high-impact priorities,

• Provide updates on active AI projects, and

• Address talent gaps in healthcare AI.

This is a roadmap for doing more with less—without compromising care.
