Administrative strategy cannot see the "invisible workload" crushing Ontario's nurses. When generalist consultants implement workforce pilots, they often fail due to role confusion, union grievances, and cognitive fatigue.
"If you hand this to an IT vendor, the nurses will reject it as surveillance. If you hand it to a generalist, the union will grieve it. You need a translator who speaks 'bedside'."
Without clinical calibration, pilots fail due to "Big Brother" syndrome and ONA non-compliance.
Clinical workflow design that respects cognitive load limits and protects the collective agreement.
We do not replace your internal teams. We lead the high-risk phases requiring clinical and regulatory precision.
Phase 1 & 2 Strategy
Design of the "Dyad Model" workflow. We define the specific Scope of Virtual Practice for admission/discharge to ensure the Virtual Nurse offloads 40% of administrative tasks without compromising safety.
Governance & Feasibility
Facilitation of the Ministry advisory table to define the "Provincial Float Nurse" classification. We handle the feasibility analysis to project costs vs. current private agency expenditures.
Union & Clinical Alignment
Bridging the gap between Ministry policy and ONA requirements. We mitigate "contracting out" risks by ensuring all pilot structures align with collective agreements from Day 1.

As the author of Burnout to Balance and the architect behind the Ontario Retention Strategy roadmap, she helps organizations stop hemorrhaging talent by redesigning the work itself, not just the payroll. Her expertise lies in identifying the "friction points" in clinical workflows that cause pilots to fail.
