The IHealth activation of advanced electronic health record (EHR) functionality, including electronic ordering (computerized provider order entry, or CPOE) at South Island Tertiary sites is re-scheduled as follows:
- Victoria General Hospital, Gorge Road Hospital acute units and South Island Surgical Centre will go live on May 25, 2024.
- Royal Jubilee Hospital will go live on June 8, 2024.
A total of 21 ambulatory clinics will activate at the same time as acute care areas on May 25 and June 8. (See clinic list in the full memo.)
This timing change was necessary to accommodate the transition of Island Health's Cerner system to a Remote Hosting Option (RHO), which was delayed until February 23-24. The RHO dates were determined to be too close to Tertiary activation dates, with additional time needed to ensure system stabilization.
Staff at South Island Tertiary sites should continue with their IHealth learning journey in preparation for Go-Live in May and June. More information can be found here.
Please share this information with colleagues. Thank you for your continued dedication to this important quality improvement initiative.
