Description
Join PEACH Health Ontario, Green is Health and CAPE on May 7th to learn scenario planning’s role in building #resilient health systems.
Date & Time
May 7, 2024 05:00 PM PT, 8 PM ET
This session is focused on healthcare system adaptation to climate change. Not only does the health system need to achieve low carbon functioning (mitigation) but it also needs to build resilience to the impact of anticipated climate related crises and plan care for patients and professionals with unpreventable health impacts.
The WHO provides guidance on creating health system resilience, from climate related emergency preparedness to transformative leadership and climate informed health programs. Research suggests Canada has not given sufficient attention to adapting our health system to current and anticipated needs and outcomes. The challenges we must plan for involve significant uncertainty and we cannot solve them within healthcare alone. Scenario planning is a collaborative planning technique, useful within and across sectors, integrating diverse perspectives for uncertain futures. We will illustrate these concepts employing a focus for climate-adaptation. We will describe and provide a brief participant experience with Scenario Planning followed by a facilitated group discussion. The Climate Crisis & Health Care Adaptation: advance preparation is the best medicine.
