The next Board of Health meeting is scheduled for June 24
Southeast Public Health continues to move forward with major merger transition projects following a recent update presented to its Board of Health.
Among the key developments is the selection of a new electronic medical records system designed to improve secure storage of personal health information, ministry reporting, and clinical data integration across programs. Officials say implementation will happen in two phases, with the first programs beginning to use the new system this summer.
The organization is also transitioning its merger office into a Project Management Office, which will oversee major projects and initiatives during a two-year pilot period.
Additional work continues to unify the agency’s IT network to allow staff to work seamlessly between offices throughout the region.
A new records management working group has also been created to standardize document retention and organization practices across the agency.
Frontline staff training remains a priority, including instruction in project management and new software systems. The next Board of Health meeting is scheduled for June 24.
