Exceptional quality care starts with empowering the people who deliver it

At Scarborough Health Network (SHN), we are committed to innovation that improves on how we serve our patients and their families. In July, SHN became the first Ontario hospital to launch the largest scope of health human resources (HHR) technology upgrades (including artificial intelligence) with an integrated suite of best-in-class applications. 

Backed by our strategic vision and people-focused model, these systems are enabling us to work more effectively as one SHN team across our three hospitals and community-based locations, and advancing our award-winning corporate culture. We are building on people management solutions for talent acquisition, staff scheduling, training compliance, and more, to support rapid growth and level up employee experiences, at a time when trained professionals are in high demand and short supply.

Importantly, the new system aligns seamlessly with our Where the World Comes to Work recruitment brand celebrating the global nature of SHN’s workforce and community. With SHN serving one of the most diverse populations in the country, equity, diversity and inclusion are core to our recruitment strategy. We are now providing a better application experience for all candidates, including those from diverse backgrounds who are excited to start their journey at SHN and make a difference in Scarborough. For example, job candidates can easily filter their career interests, access our employee referral program, personalize job applications and highlight their unique strengths, and introduce themselves directly to the recruiter.

Ultimately, these new technologies are about investing into quality, patient safety, and our people—the foundational strategic pillars of SHN’s Strategic Plan 2024-2029.
