Innovations in Clinical Care

At the Slaight Centre, we are developing innovative new treatment strategies and improving existing systems to provide new hope to young people and their family support networks.

We realize innovation means little if patients cannot effectively access our services. That's why the Slaight Centre is bringing together all CAMH clinical care programs serving transition-age youth under our umbrella.

To improve existing treatment systems, we are assisting in the design, implementation and sustainability of Integrated Care Pathways (ICPs) within core clinics at CAMH. This means care teams of interdisciplinary professionals–spanning clinicians, scientists and staff–can work together seamlessly to map the treatment process from start to finish, which increases alignment and integration, reduces redundancy, and streamlines service delivery. ICPs place the patient at the centre of their care, rigorously evaluate patient care and standardize best practices.
