An interprofessional orthopaedic team has developed an innovative hub and spoke model of care for Ontario's North West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN): "At the heart of the program is the new PRO-cedure Management Information System (PROMIS) digital health system co-developed by the ROP to create a single point of access for referrers. It links together existing systems such as the regional referral system, hospital information system (HIS), and Cancer Care Ontario's Wait Time Information System (CCO-WTIS)."

"We want to make sure we're doing it in a safe and effective way," said Dr. Mitchell Winemaker, site chief of orthopedic surgery at Juravinski Hospital.

Doctors face alarming risks of burnout, depression and suicide, and tend to be most vulnerable during residency. A recent study suggests some residency programs put trainees at greater risk of depression than others.
Published in Academic Medicine, the study found that trainees reported increased symptoms of depression in programs with long working hours, poor faculty feedback and inpatient learning experiences, and higher research rankings.
