Navigating Systems, Integrating Care, and Delivering Outcomes
With core operating principles of early identification, rapid escalation, closed-loop communication, and continuous measurement, the same method scales smoothly from limb preservation to heart-failure management to primary-care attachment.

Our Navigation Solution
Own Health starts by establishing a regional governance structure co-chaired by health-authority executives and clinical specialists, ensuring that policy decisions and bedside realities remain synchronized.
- Together, we build central intake hubs and staff training programs to ensure referrals are routed based on validated risk criteria so high acuity patients receive rapid escalation while low-risk cases are managed upstream and close to home.
- Additionally, Doctor Dash, our digital backbone, integrates lab values, imaging reports, wound photographs, and community notes in real time, giving every provider a single source of truth.
- Our dedicated nurse practicioner and specialist teams monitor the platform and translate its prompts into bedside action within hours.

Demonstrated Clinical Outcomes
Early implementations consistently show rapid and durable impact.
- In Prince Edward Island specialist wait times have fallen from eight months to 4.8 days, urgent off-island transfers are down, and dialysis fistula creation is now performed locally.
- Ontario Health atHome has seen length of stay on its wound-care pathway drop by more than half over four years and now discharges eighty percent of patients from home-care services entirely.
- In partnership with twelve long-term care locations across North Toronto, Own Health has reduced long-term-care transfers for lower extremity wounds by forty percent while improving continuity across home-care teams.
These gains arise from a repeatable framework rather than a single disease-specific intervention, which means they can be replicated wherever the model is adopted.

Fiscal Stewardship through Cost Avoidance
Although clinical benefit is paramount, every health authority must also manage limited resources. Own Health programs reduce system strain by shifting care upstream, which shortens hospital stays, converts urgent interventions to planned ones, and expands community-based management to prevent avoidable admissions. These proactive models not only improve outcomes but generate meaningful cost avoidance.
Prince Edward Island is already reallocating funds once earmarked for out-of-province vascular surgeries, and Humber River Health projects more than $1.2 million in acute-care savings for every fifty patients enrolled in its limb-preservation bundle. Because Doctor Dash displays financial and clinical metrics side by side, executives can monitor return on investment in real time and redirect realized savings to further patient-focused initiatives.
