Professional Practice

Our strategy prioritizes scholarship and innovation in professional practice.

World-class patient care is at the core of everything we do at Sinai Health. It drives our mission to become Canada’s leading integrated health system and informs our strategic priorities.

Our strategy

The Sinai Health Professional Practice strategy models our vision of collaborative practice and education across nursing and the health disciplines. This guiding framework for daily clinical practice highlights the following priorities:

Patient and family engagement
Learning
Fundamentals of care
New knowledge and innovation

As a member of the Toronto Academic Health Science Network, we also have a mandate to provide evidence-informed, integrated and patient-centred care within a culture of scholarship and innovation.

To that end, we have developed an Academic Practice Strategy to advance that mandate. This strategy is comprised of the following five dimensions and supported by transformational leadership.
