    When you think of Canadian health data, the organization that springs immediately to mind is the Canadian Institute for Health Information or CIHI.
    In this episode we interview Anderson Chuck, the President and CEO of CIHI, about how Canada is “data rich but information poor” and how using Pan-Canadian health data in the right way can drive improvements in health care quality.
    We also discuss how adopting the right data "mindset" can ensure sustainable Canadian healthcare in the future and improve economic resilience and prosperity for Canada as a nation.

    S5 Ep13: Herding Cats and Steering Ships - Dr. Ronald Chapman
    May 1 2026
    This week we’re returning to the Executive C-Suite this time from a Physician’s perspective with our guest Dr. Ronald Chapman, the Vice President of Medicine of Northern Health.
    We talk about his early commitment to a medical administrative career track, what a VP of Medicine does, his 13-year longevity in the role and what it takes to steer a large healthcare organization on a course towards higher quality care.
    We also touch on the benefits and challenges of living and working in rural communities and, if given his time again, why he wouldn’t consider any other job in the world.
