According to the president of Quinte Health, 2025 will be a year of infrastructure expansion, along with staff recruitment and retention.
Stacey Daub spoke to Quinte News as we look ahead at the year to come.
She says there could be two elections and it is critical to have strong relationships with all levels of government.
“A good leader is a person who has exceptional relationships that are built in trust and integrity. I think I have those locally, provincially, and nationally.”
Daub says with advances in technology, there are going to be strides to help both patient and staff.
“The fact is that we will never have enough people in health care to support the aging population that is rapidly outpacing the younger population. So we have to look to technology and A.I. I see it as an augmentation or a support to the front lines.”
That includes a new health information system across the hospitals.
“Most of the A.I. tools for us that are really important to try and fast track, are things that make their jobs easier and make the quality higher.”
The continuation of the expansion of the Emergency Department at Trenton Memorial, construction of the new hospital in The County, and the purchase of new diagnostic and surgical tools for Belleville and north Hastings are front and centre.
