CST will introduce a new electronic health record that when complete will be shared between all Providence Health Care, Vancouver Coastal Health, and Provincial Health Services Authority sites. Clinical practices will be transformed through standardization of practices and processes across all sites.

WHEN IS CST COMING TO PROVIDENCE?
The road map for the project will see our PHC acute care sites, St. Paul’s Hospital, Mount Saint Joseph Hospital (MSJ) and Holy Family Hospital (HFH), going live with CST the first two weeks of November. This initial go-live will include residential care at MSJ and HFH. Other PHC residential care homes including Brock Fahrni, Langara, and Youville will go-live in a second wave 2 – 3 months after MSJ and HFH,
The first wave of ambulatory clinics affiliated with these sites will also go live within the two week time frame in November. We’re finalizing the list of remaining ambulatory clinics to determine the timing in order to minimize the gap between subsequent waves. Following PHC, VGH, UBC and Richmond acute sites will go live in 2020.
HOW CAN YOU GET STARTED?
Providers are encouraged to get a head start on the change by signing up for training on Front-End Speech Recognition (FESR) using the m-modal system and ensuring basic computer competency.
