MSA CST SubCommittee
An MSA CST subcommittee made up of Medical Staff Executive members, CST physician leads, and Medical Affairs is supporting the ongoing engagement of physicians and medical staff through CST implementation. We will help to represent the medical staff voice, monitor medical staff issues and bring people together if needed. Here is what we are doing:

  • Regular check ins with CST physician leads around implementation/go live
  • Help medical staff to hear about important things going on
  • Provide support for physician champions who feel they don’t have what they need
  • Monitor issues and questions that are not resolved through the formal CST processes, and advocate to have them discussed and answered
  • Facilitate a WhatsApp group so physicians can check in with other via smart phone
  • Fund community supports to help make life easier with snacks in the physician lounges
  • Measure physician impacts with pre-post surveys
  • Consolidate advice and ideas for improvements to move forward to VCH.
New! GoLive tips from Lions Gate Hospital physicians

A few handy tips from Lions Gate colleagues (Nov. 6, 2019)

  • Find your current workflow and adapt the system to it.
  • Personalize your own system and delete all the things you don’t to simplify each tab of admission, rounding, discharge.
  • When you find something annoying or difficult, save it as a favorite – you’ll never have to find it again.
  • You can look up other people’s folders to see their favorites.
  • Don’t let a shift go by when you ask people in the shirts about what things can make your daily workflow easier, and what favourites you can use.
  • You can still write notes on paper and then enter them.
  • If mistakes are made, things can be corrected after!

HOW WILL CST ROLL OUT?

Our PHC acute care sites, St. Paul’s Hospital, Mount Saint Joseph Hospital (MSJ) and Holy Family Hospital (HFH), going live with CST the second 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.
