Right care, real time – delivering best practice

This month Vancouver Coastal Health announced a multi-year partnership with the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) and Providence Health Care (PHC) to implement the Clinical and Systems Transformation Project. Team IBM will lead this initiative with the local Project Management Team to create a common, end-to-end clinical information system across all three organizations.

More than just technology

The Clinical and Systems Transformation Project is aimed at developing consistent processes, protocols and procedures as well as technical systems and capability to ensure clinicians have accurate, consistent and up-to-date information when required.  This includes centralized and standardized processes such as ordering procedures and medications; as well as administrative functions like referrals, scheduling and registration.
