U of T and partner hospitals are improving patient care with new data tools
An example of the innovation made possible by the hospital network’s ecosystem is GEMINI. The GEMINI research network at St. Michael’s Hospital, part of Unity Health Toronto, deploys a data and analytics platform that leverages the rich information in hospital computer records to generate insights about how health care is delivered, informing changes that improve the patient experience while supporting the system.
Over the past five years, the project has grown from a TAHSN-based innovation to an initiative that is helping the Government of Ontario improve health care at hospitals across the province.
