Shiran is the Clinical Vice-President of Altum Health, Connected Care, Outpatient Strategy & Schroeder Arthritis Institute at University Health Network. Through this role, he supports clinical transformation and health system integration initiatives both locally and across the province. With more than 20 years of healthcare experience, Shiran’s expertise lies in leading complex and large-scale transformational projects. He also oversees established regional programs that support health service providers across the continuum of care.
Through these experiences Shiran believes that by driving transformative experiences we can improve health outcomes and create health system capacity. This belief drives his collaborative approach and extends to the development of unique partnerships. In doing so, he assembles strong, inter-disciplinary teams with a broad range of skills, and applies a holistic approach to problem solving, that result in new innovative programs to support integrated care delivery, new models of outpatient care, ultimately to drive a better patient and provider experience.
Shiran chose a career in healthcare as he felt an innate drive for working in a sector that aligns with his values and enables him to give back to the community at large. “All of the great work we do at UHN is patient-centric. With every decision made, we ask how we are improving the patient experience, and improving care outcomes”.
Shiran believes that the patient’s voice must guide all healthcare activities, whether it be at the system level as an Executive Sponsor of UHN’s Integrated Care and Outpatient Strategies, in the academic setting as an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Toronto, or in the community as the Board Chair at Regent Park Community Health Centre.
