Biographical Info I have been a registered nurse for 38 years, primarily specializing in Long Term Care. My career has progressed to the position of Senior Administrator of two Long Term Care facilities, where I served for approximately 20 years. During this time, I have demonstrated competence in managing the day-to-day functions and operations of these facilities. I adhered to Best Practice Guidelines, Ontario College of Nurses Standards, and the "Fix It" Long Term Care Act to maintain a high standard of care for residents and families. By understanding the roles and responsibilities of staff and managers, I could effectively identify any deficiencies requiring intervention, which I believe is a crucial aspect of leadership. I led my team through Ministry of Health inspections, developed Quality Improvement initiatives, handled public health inspections, and managed the full disclosure of adverse events to residents and families. Additionally, I have experience in creating and implementing successful corrective plans for non-compliances identified by the Ministry of Health. My leadership contributed to our team achieving exemplary accommodation in the 2023 Accreditation Canada process. I am also a member of Patients for Patient Safety Canada, a nationwide patient advocacy group. I joined this exceptional group following a personal experience involving an avoidable medical error that resulted in my father's death while in hospital. This event deepened my understanding of the legal aspects of the medical system and fueled my passion for fact-finding. My experience with adverse events and disclosures, both personal and career-related, enables me to engage with the public from a unique perspective, combining intellect, compassion, and empathy. I am skilled in reviewing, analyzing, and preparing documentation in chronological order to identify care gaps, judgment errors, and delivery of subpar care. Additionally, I am confident in presentations, public speaking, and round table discussions. I look forward to applying my expertise to achieve successful outcomes.
