Build and maintain collaborative relationships with health system partners, continuing care operators, government ministries, and stakeholder organizations.
Monitor system performance, quality indicators, and outcomes to identify opportunities for continuous improvement and inform future policy development.
Provide strategic advice and support on sensitive issues, and respond to a wide variety of stakeholders, including the public.
Lead or support stakeholder engagement and consultation activities, translating feedback into actionable policy and program recommendations.
