It would be a vast understatement to say that our healthcare systems are facing extraordinary pressure. The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed our people and our systems to their limits. We observe with trepidation that the current state of healthcare has not looked more precarious at any time in recent memory. Patients and families are feeling it. Providers, clinicians and leaders in the system are feeling it. And all of us recognize that it will take incredible political will and system-wide commitment to make the changes that are needed to renew and strengthen our front-line teams, structures and capacity. As editors for Healthcare Quarterly (HQ), we see the opportunity to contribute to the daunting task ahead by shining a light on leading practices and lessons learned from implementing change across Canada and beyond. Our commitment is to continue to showcase healthcare leadership in all forms and share opportunities for post-pandemic recovery and the future of healthcare.
