Clinical Information System Project
PHSA was implementing a single clinical information solution (CIS) for its agencies and services. The new CIS will improve quality and accessibility of patient information by creating an integrated record for each patient based on a single identifier and using standardized processes.
The PHSA was in the implementation stages of this solution. PHSA is focused on delivering (across all patient care sites at BC Children’s Hospital, BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre, BC Mental Health and Addition Services and BC Cancer Agency) the foundational components of integrated diagnostic imaging, laboratory, and pharmacy solutions. It is also developing a robust clinical data repository as well as beginning to provide an electronic view through Cerner.
