| The following was sent on behalf of Dr Mary Lyn Fyfe, Chief Medical Information Officer, jointly with IHealth leadership. We recognize that many medical staff completed CPOE training early in 2024, in anticipation of a Go-Live in May. When the activation date was rescheduled to September 14, we understood that retaining the new knowledge could be a challenge for those who had already done the training. For this reason, we have designed “refresher” Skill Sharpener sessions for physicians who practice solely at VGH, Gorge or at South Island Surgical Centre (or for physicians who have not yet completed a shift at RJH) to give you the opportunity to reinforce what you have learned. We will also focus on orders management and transitions in care per our lessons learned at RJH.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW We highly recommend attending one of the Skill Sharpener sessions, which will be delivered via Zoom and take from 60 to 90 minutes to complete. Session dates/times vary by department and will be offered August 28 through September 13. Given that Island Health changed the activation date at VGH, we will be able to compensate you for up to two hours of your time at the nonclinical education rate.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO To register for a Skill Sharpener session, please email ihealtheducation@islandhealth.ca, or call the Provider Education and Experience team (ProEX) at 250-713-0484 (Rhonda) or 250-588-4036 (Chloe). We thank you for your ongoing efforts and dedication to this important change to clinical practice. Together, we are improving quality, safety and patient-centered care. |
