New Physician Workgroup focuses on Clinical System Design optimization

Post Wave-1-launch and Pre Wave-2-3-Launch, we recognize some areas meriting more physician input and representation. One relates to all the clinical documentation tools (in-place as well as anticipated) that physicians navigate in a typical workday.

Core Clinical System Design (documentation, decision and inquiry supports) issues that apply across all clinical areas are managed by Connect Care committees, with all the CSD-related committees reporting to the Content and Standards Committee. Specialty CSD works primarily through Area Councils.

Clinical documentation tools have a big impact on physician clinical information system (CIS) experiences. This is a time when existing tools can be simplified and streamlined; while emerging tools can learn from Wave 1 lessons.

A new physician working group for core documentation CSD will parallel an existing Nursing and Allied Health working group, meeting for approximately an hour biweekly for the next number of months. Example issues include optimal use of flowsheets, forms, navigators, communication templates and text automations.

We seek physicians willing to join and contribute through the new working group that will ideally include clinicians experienced with:

Different practice contexts (e.g., ambulatory, inpatient, etc.)
Some cross-experience with Area Councils
Some cross-experience with Zone medical informatics lead activities
Liaison with professional bodies (e.g., CPSA)

Please contact Echo Enns with volunteers or nominations.

Health Professions Education Summer Studentships - Consider Applying

The HPE Summer Studentship grant is a competitive program sponsored by the University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry that can help support students and faculty proposing a summer education research or curriculum evaluation project.

With Connect Care launched and spreading in Alberta, questions about about the best way to provide trainees with initial and ongoing skills training and, more importantly, eHealth literacy and professionalism training.

Medical informaticians with faculty appointments may want to consider this opportunity. We have already reached out to see if there are students likewise interested.

Area Trainer Opportunities for Waves 2 and 3

Connect Care will launch at several Calgary and Central zone sites in May 2020, and it is time to get ready!

There are opportunities for new physician Area Trainers, a role that has proven exciting and rewarding to physicians who currently help with Wave 1 preparations. Area Trainers deliver Connect Care training while also promoting transformation and clinical improvement at launch.

We've previously posted about Physician Area Trainers. Interested clinicians benefit from exceptional clinical information system orientation and change management coaching. Stipend-supported, Area Trainers can use the role to supplement their usual clinical activities, play a pivotal role at Connect Care launch and positively impact health care in Alberta. Area Trainers are critical to the success of Connect Care, and will champion the initiative in their teams. There will be an opportunity to extend the role to subsequent waves of Connect Care in the zone.
