    FELLLOWSHIP OVERVIEW:


A post-doctoral fellowship position is available to a PhD trained individual with a desire to embrace the complexity of how care changed amid our COVID-19 pandemic and current human health resource crises and how to transform care to ensure we meet the quintuple aim of radically and rapidly accelerating improvements in population health, enhancing care experience, reducing cost, improving workforce safety and well-being, and optimizing equity and diversity.

This position will advance an understanding of the design, implementation, and evaluation of new models of care through knowledge synthesis, consensus development and delphi panels and the development of programme theory to guide future fundamental nursing care interventions and novel primary research studies.


ORGANIZATION AND DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION:


This role will primarily be housed at the Centre for Nursing Excellence, Science of Care Institute and Innovation at Sinai Health, but may also involve travel to the CIHR Models of Care study partner sites Providence Health, Scarborough Health Network, Sunnybrook Health Sciences, Trillium Health Partners Unity Health Toronto, and University Health Network and CIHR ESSENCE-CANADA collaborating partners (Canadian Nurses Association).

advancing new discoveries and innovation in how care is co-designed, implemented, and measured.

The Science of Care Institute is in a growth trajectory that builds on a strong foundation of an inter-disciplinary team of researchers, clinician-scientists, trainees and staff from our Collaboratory for Research and Innovation and Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute (LTRI) working together to produce high quality research to drive health system transformation.

LTRI is a University of Toronto affiliated research centre and is one of the world's leading centres in biomedical and health systems research.

Our Science of Care Institute and affiliated Centre for Nursing Excellence and LTRI is committed to excellence in health research and the training of young investigators.

Strong partnerships with the clinical programs in our hospitals and with our health system partners ensures that scientific knowledge is used to promote human health and health system improvement.

Further, As Canada's only Magnet designated hospital we are committed to nurse led research and innovation to exceed the Magnet standard related to New Knowledge and innovation.

Sinai Health was redesignated as a Magnet Hospital in December 2020 meeting all the required standards.

POSITION OVERVIEW:

RELATED STUDIES:

MODELS OF CARE STUDY


Recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic has generated significant pressure on healthcare institutions to employ multiple human health resources (HHR) strategies to manage and augment hospital capacity.

Although alternative models of care were initially implemented as a temporary solution to ensure safe patient care, this approach may need to be used beyond the current COVID-19 pandemic as a contingency measure to manage future crises (e.g. predicted global HCPs shortage).

Despite changes to models of care, no empirical literature on the impact of alternative team-based models of care on HCPs and patient outcomes, particularly in the context of COVID-19, were found.

This gap in knowledge is problematic, as these new models of care and provision of care, which were initially intended to be temporary, are becoming normalized and standardized, without a strong evidence base to understand their impact on HCPs, health system, or patient outcomes.


ESSENCE-CANADA STUDY
Patient safety, clinical effectiveness, care quality outcomes, service use, and experiences are associated with nursing care. When nursing care is missed or rationed, patient experiences can be eroded and negative outcomes experienced (e.g. increased hospitalizations, adverse events, and mortality).

Core to high-quality nursing care is a fundamental care approach which involves respecting and addressing people's physical, psychosocial safety, and well-being needs through trusting relationships with patients and their care partners in positive work environments.

When fundamental care is left undone, nurses are impacted including reporting lower job satisfaction, morale, and moral distress with some leaving (or intending to leave).

Missed, ignored, or minimized care continues to exist. and has amplified for nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Decreased mo
