PROJECTS

Successful innovation projects have achieved Quadruple-Aim targets.

These projects have transformed care delivery, improved clinical practices, and are now Bruyère’s celebrated partners.

ROBOTIC PATIENT TRANSFERS

Lateral transfers are a routine part of any hospital’s day, yet, despite their commonality, transfers can pose challenges for staff, who are required to perform the move with at least one additional team member.

WEARABLE PATIENT WANDERING SYSTEM

Patient safety is of the highest importance to Bruyère, and one of the greatest ongoing challenges for clinical teams comes in the form of wandering.

DIGITIZING RECORDS

Annual influenza immunization clinics play a crucial role in a hospital’s battle against the contraction and spread of infectious diseases. With COVID-19, we had to rethink how we delivered our flu vaccinations and store staff records.

AUDITORY ASSESMENTS

Undiagnosed hearing loss is a ubiquitous issue that leads to serious social and health consequences for affected individuals. We set out to understand how providing objective hearing screening upon admission could improve patient care and empower patients to address their hearing loss.

COVID-19 SCREENING

At the onset of COVID-19, Bruyère was faced with the challenge of staff and visitors intending to enter Bruyère’s multi-site hospital and long-term care homes as they normally would. The need to screen employees and visitors for COVID-19 symptoms when entering our facilities was an immediate priority in our response to the pandemic.
