Mackenzie Health. The first of its kind
Mackenzie Health is a regional healthcare provider that serves more than half a million people across the York Region in Southern Ontario, Canada. Mackenzie Health has a vision to create a world-class health experience, which means delivering quality, compassionate and timely patient-centered care.
What Mackenzie was looking for was a partner who could break down conventional boundaries and apply new behaviors, augmented by processes and technologies, to enable people to collaborate in completely new ways that would unlock value across the whole organization. It wasn’t just the first project of its kind for Philips; it was the first of its kind in healthcare.
A partnership built to last
As organisations that deliver care, we need to bring in the same level of due diligence and rigour that a business would bring into their operations to ensure that we can bring value to our patients and to our customers”
