WCMR: Beyond the search bar

This workshop introduces researchers to a selection of AI-enabled tools that can be used to help find existing literature on a wide range of topics. In addition to practical demonstrations and tips for using them effectively, we’ll also critically examine their limitations, including potential biases, and privacy and copyright concerns.

The final CareNext Collective event for 2025 showcases one of the most meaningful operational shifts at WRHN this year: the sustained reduction of ambulance offload times across both the Queen’s Blvd and Midtown sites. The initiative demonstrates how targeted, system-level innovation can emerge from cross-sector collaboration between emergency department leadership, paramedic services, informatics teams, patient partners, and frontline staff.
