A few stories and updates from the IHealth team, full listing here.

IHealth Engagement Lab at RJH moving to new location

The IHealth Engagement Lab at Royal Jubilee Hospital will relocate on Tuesday, October 15 to DT 1391, across from Medical Imaging in the Emergency Department.

The IHealth Engagement Lab at Victoria General Hospital will remain in its current location, S275, next to the physician lounge.

Both Labs are open Monday through Friday 0700-1500, with staff from Provider Education and Experience on site to support medical staff with CPOE and other tools within the electronic health record.

CPOE is a family affair for three physicians
Island Health gastroenterologist Dr. David Pearson had an inside track for his CPOE training. During the RJH Go-Live in June, his daughter Dr. Julia Pearson came from her home in Edmonton to support the IHealth implementation team. Julia’s knowledge of IHealth started over a decade ago when she worked with Island Health’s Clinical Informatics team for eight years helping build Cerner at RJH before attending medical school.

This week, his other daughter, Dr. Hillary Vincent, joined the CPOE implementation support team from her home in the Lower Mainland. So, we had to ask: Is CPOE a family topic for discussion?

“Definitely when Jules is around,” laughed Hillary.

“I’m a very superficial user of CPOE,” said David. “I just want to get through the day. But Julia can show me things that make it more efficient and help when you get stuck on something.”

Hillary is an OB/Gyn resident at Vancouver Coastal Health, and Julia is a family practice resident in Edmonton.
