We have extended the deadline for submissions to Sunday February 9 at midnight.
Come to the 2025 CESO conference taking place Feb 25 and 26 at Sick Kids and tell your colleagues about an interesting problem that you encountered, and the approach you took to solve it. You don't necessarily need to have been successful in solving the problem, if you think your approach might be interesting for others to learn from (such as what NOT to try if they encounter the same problem).
If we choose your problem for presentation at the conference, you will receive an e-transfer for $200 after your presentation. Also, if we choose your problem for presentation, you may present it in a pre-recorded video which will be shown during the problem-solving session at the conference, or you may give a live presentation lasting no longer than ten minutes.
The Problem-Solving Challenge session will take place on Wednesday February 26, 2025.
Please send us a brief description on the attached form (no more than 250 words) of the problem.
Please organize your submission under the following headings. Just a sentence or two under most headings is all that is needed. Make your submission early to take advantage of the early bird bonus.
1. Problem
What was the problem that needed to be solved? Describe the technology involved. What is the application of the technology? What were the symptoms of the problem?
2. Impact
What was the impact the problem was having on patients, nurses, others?
3. Discovering the problem
How did you learn about the problem? Was it a call for service? Did you discover it before anyone had reported it?
4. Unsuccessful attempts
What things did you try that were unsuccessful?
5. Skills, tools and techniques
What skills, tools, and techniques did you use in your attempts to solve the problem? Did you finally solve the problem? What did the solution look like?
The last day for submissions is Sunday February 9 at midnight.
Thanks!
