This presentation describes how a leading Toronto hospital approaches AI strategy, what organizational structures have been established to support implementation, and how the organization works to prioritize initiatives and move AI solutions from pilot to clinical practice.

The presentation also provides context on the Canadian healthcare landscape: how the publicly funded provincial system shapes AI adoption, the role of academic health science centres in driving innovation, and how Canadian hospitals navigate regulatory frameworks and partnerships with research institutes. Participants will gain insights into governance models, key enablers and barriers, and lessons learned.

The session connects directly to the project Advancing Healthcare with AI: A Swedish-Canadian Collaboration and the Swedish healthcare delegation's visit to Toronto in autumn 2025, reflecting on how insights from that exchange have shaped ongoing work on both sides, and outlining concrete next steps for continued collaboration between Swedish and Canadian healthcare organizations.
