What will change for physicians?>
What’s the plan? >
Watch: CST/Providence Information Forum, March 2019 (Dr. Charles Lo – ‘Future of Clinical Care’ at 9:58)
CST will introduce a new electronic health record that when complete with 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. The roadmap for the project will see PHC acute care sites activated in Fall 2019 followed by VGH, UBC and Richmond acute sites going live in 2020.
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.
If you have questions about the project and what it will mean for your clinical practice, reach out to your department/division provider champion or to the Senior Medical Director for CST Implementation.
