  Health Management Technology: Mastering healthcare applications: Toronto hospital uses self-directed and ...
Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital, an internationally recognized 462-bed healthcare center affiliated with the University of Toronto, recognized that its increasingly busy clinical staff simply did not have the time or schedule flexibility to use traditional training methods to learn the escalating number of clinical applications required to best serve the hospital's patients.
Mount Sinai firmly believes in leveraging the latest technology to better serve its patients, but felt that the steady growth in the number of clinical applications meant that the initial time required to learn new and upgraded technology was becoming increasingly invasive for its clinical staff.
Through Sinai e-Learning, it is simple for clinicians to get up to speed with new and upgraded applications, and test their knowledge in scenarios that accurately reflect real-world clinical situations--accelerating training, ensuring competency, and guaranteeing clinical staff can spend the maximum time caring for patients.

Hospital president and CEO Joseph Mapa has an unqualified answer: “This hospital is rooted in and supported by the Jewish community, works according to Jewish values and embodies our Jewish heritage.
Mount Sinai, Mapa said, is in the ranks of the world’s best academic hospitals, an achievement directly connected to the values of chesed (kindness) and care of the sick that are an integral part of the Jewish ethos.
Mount Sinai’s operations are not based in Halachah, or Jewish law, because it is a government-supported hospital, he said, but noted it has an ethics committee to deal with moral issues that may arise.

 From Generation to Generation: A History of Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital by Christopher J. Rutty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Barsky was first drawn to Mount Sinai while writing an article on Canadian hospitals and was struck by the fact that, in 1992, it had been given an unprecedented and unconditional four?year accreditation by the Canadian Council on Health Facilities Accreditation; most hospitals were lucky to get three years.
A common challenge for denominational hospitals during this period was how to maintain their religious roots and principles, while operating as publicly funded institutions, particularly when, as at Mount Sinai, most patients have been non?Jewish, or non?Catholic in St Mary's case.
Few primary documents are extant from the first half of Mount Sinai's history and Barsky had to rely on the recollections of surviving individuals, or their families, who were involved with the hospital.

(Toronto, Ontario, July 27, 2005) — Primary liver cancer is much more likely to take root when a naturally occurring enzyme is in short supply, a team of researchers has found at Mount Sinai Hospital's Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute.
