 Sarah Kramer
 Sarah Kramer's career in health care, government and the private  sector
have been dedicated to creating effective information management  strategies
and systems to advance evidence-based decision-making - from the  bedside
to the Cabinet table.
 
 As Vice President and CIO at Cancer Care Ontario (CCO), Sarah has
focused on  implementing CCO's ambitious Information Management
Strategy which will lay the  groundwork to support the transformation
of the organization from a radiation  therapy care provider to a
purveyor of evidence-based system advice, performance  measurement and
monitoring. Recently, Sarah has taken on a leadership role in  developing
and implementing the information architecture to support for the  Ministry
of Health and Long Term Care's Access to Services and Wait Times  Strategy,
lead by Dr. Alan Hudson. 
 
 Prior to joining CCO, Sarah was the CIO for
the Department  of Health in Nova Scotia, and has held a number of
senior positions in Ontario s  health care, government and private
sectors.
