The Centre for Innovation in Complex Care (CICC) is dedicated to studying how to improve the entire process of care for patients with multiple problems. Its purpose is to engage our patients and clinicians to identify problems with current healthcare practices and develop solutions for addressing them. Innovative research and evaluation in a real clinical environment will allow our clinicians to utilize the latest technology to improve patient care. Key linkages with groups such as the Ministry of Health and the SIMS Partnership will ensure patients from across the city and the province will benefit from the innovative research conducted through the CICC.

With the necessary infrastructure in place, the opportunity to pilot the use of these devices for clinical communication existed. Collaborating on work to deliver critical alerts by email and accessing evidence-based decisions support from the intranet, a pilot to demonstrate the impact of using BlackBerry devices to coordinate patient care ensued.
