Virtual Hallway

Wait times for specialist consultation in Nova Scotia are unacceptably long. This means that patients suffer needlessly. Medical
conditions can worsen while they wait to see specialists. The burden to care for these complex conditions falls entirely on family doctors. This is not fair. Virtual Hallway is a solution. By providing an efficient and rapid system of specialist consultation, Virtual Hallway: · Provides family doctors with rapid advice · Allows for more streamlined approach to investigation and treatment · Avoids unnecessary delays and suffering for patients · Provides compensation to physician parties Virtual Hallway is a physician owned and operated service, led by psychiatrists Drs. Jacob Cookey, Luke Napier, Daniel Rasic and health care innovator Justin Hartlen. The service started based on their observation that patients were waiting far too long for specialist consultation and that these delays were leading to more chronic, and disabling conditions. In speaking with family physicians, they saw that these doctors were trying their best against a system that was inefficient, and slow to change. The idea was that specialist input earlier on in a course of illness could streamline a person’s treatment, and optimize their care.

WorkInsights

michael@workinsights.io
We founded WorkInsights in 2017 to understand how we work and develop analytics that quantifies and maps the productive energy of
a company to highlight how the working environment limits or leverages the capacity for change, productivity, innovation, and growth. With the incredibly fast pace of change today, we need to lead and work together in ways to be ready for and responsive to change, and capable of thinking about what will come next, and innovating to take advantage of the opportunity. We are disrupting our approach to work and performance. We are not afraid to push boundaries. Founded in our desire to have a positive impact and make change happen for the better so entrepreneurial companies can innovate and grow, we apply our curiosity to ask and listen, to understand and learn. Energy moves people to take action. The working experience affects whether that energy will be positive or not. And energy can be changed for the better. How people approach their work, the relationships between teams – from the frontline to management to leadership – can be positive, strained, or even fearful. This flow of energy affects an organization’s ability to succeed. If the energy is blocked at a level or team, it affects the organization’s ability to reach the potential to be creative, innovative and productive, and make change or growth happen. We need to measure the mindset – how people think, feel and act – of an organization to optimize the approach to work, top-down and bottom-up, we identify how to support people to function at their best. By asking questions, listening to the responses, we gain insight to work together to achieve more while building healthier working environments for healthy people and healthy businesses.
