Job description

Project Manager -Healthcare (Contract / Remote)

Duration: 1yr contract to start, with high probability of extension

Location: Remote Canada

The Opportunity:

Our client vision is to eliminate the diagnostic and surgical backlog resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The project includes individuals with expertise related to surgical and diagnostic services, governance, analysis and evaluation, and project management. The task force is comprised of a steering committee and a project team. The steering committee is comprised of citizens, patients, indigenous representatives, front-line care providers and provincial clinical specialty leaders. The candidate will address waitlists for diagnostic and surgical procedures, as well as related services affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This will include identifying the priority needs of patients and implementing local and out-of-province services as a temporary initiative to offer the safest and most timely health-care solutions available.

Our client works closely with health-care experts across the system to identify and implement short- and long-term solutions to deal with the waitlists. This includes:

creating a centralized information management system for health-care providers that will include surgical and diagnostic wait-list information to help streamline when and where surgeries and tests can be done as quickly as possible.
ensuring health-care providers are working to their full scope of practice, such as licensed practical nurses, who can expand patient resources required for surgery.
providing updates on a monthly basis to ensure timely, consistent and transparent information in line with recommendations.
negotiating agreements with specialized health-care providers inside and outside of provinces who can increase the number of surgeries and other services that can be performed while the backlog is being reduced; and identifying patients who are ready for their procedures and could travel to another jurisdiction if it could be performed there sooner, while also identifying any supports they may need to do this safely.
