Position Summary

The Transitional Care Program (TCP) at UHN is a collaborative and innovative approach designed to help patients who no longer need acute care services, but often find themselves waiting for an alternate care facility, such as convalescent and long-term care.  Patients and families have access to the specialized care needed in a restorative setting that allows for patient optimum functioning and quality of life.  The TCP philosophy is all about delivering patient care in the most appropriate setting where patient privacy, dignity and safety are top priorities.

Reporting to the Director of Professional Practice (DPP), the Manager of Professional Practice (MPP) for the TCP will be covering clinical programs at all 3 TCP sites:  82 Buttonwood Avenue, Toronto (Buttonwood RCC); 37 Austin Terrace, Toronto (Hillcrest Reactivation Centre), and 265 Queen’s Drive, North York (Queen’s Estate). The ideal candidate will have a nursing background, will be a member of the UHN Collaborative Academic Practice (CAP) portfolio, as well as a TCP Clinical Leader. The successful applicant will support the development, implementation and maintenance of profession-specific and interprofessional practice standards at the program level and across UHN, as required. The MPP will also be required to participate in the TCP on-call process, on a rotating basis.

Duties

• The MPP is someone with a demonstrated track record of leadership skills who collaborates with other site DPPs, MPPs, other nursing practice and allied health leaders to ensure that practice standards are aligned and integrated, where possible, across programs, and organization wide
• The position will directly supervise a number of Advanced Practice Nurse Educators (APNEs) across the portfolio and maintain strong linkages with UHN’s practice-based education office
• It is also expected that the role will establish, maintain and lead a number of quality improvement initiatives and work closely with the DPP as well as other practice and operational colleagues to promote a vision of practice excellence, integrating practice-based education and point-of-care research capacity within and across UHN programs, hospitals and in the external community.
• Mentorship of diverse staff and learners is also an important aspect of the role
• The MPP also supports and partners with the site DPP to develop and implement care process changes, develop standards of work, inform organization-wide care delivery models, and deliver on practice-based education priorities—all which are in service of creating a safe, exceptional patient experience and a quality, growth-producing environment for our staff
• Other activities would include active engagement in organization-wide projects, most notably the optimization of UHN’s new health information system
