Abstract
We will present an electronic record
solution that supports both provincial and pan-Canadian info-structure
directions. This solution is applicable not only to individual
hospitals, but also to entire healthcare regions. We will discuss how
software from different vendors brought together by Sierra Systems
works together to meet the information needs of clinicians and
healthcare management, as well as providing wireless data access. Our
approach utilizes the Oracle Health Transaction Base (HTB) providing a
component-based solution that consolidates patient, provider and
clinical data as well as business rules for entire organizations and
health regions. The HTB combines leading-edge technologies from Oracle
itself as well as from partner vendors. In
addition we will discuss the implementation services necessary to
successfully deploy these solutions in a clinical setting.
We will demonstrate Orions Concerto
web portal software as it is used to access and display patient
records as part of the Oracle Health Transaction Base (HTB) solution. This
will include a live demonstration of wireless clinician access to lab
results and patient documents, using new generation Hewlett-Packard
Tablet PCs. More information on Orion and their partners can be found

Trevor Hodge started his health
career with the Saskatchewan Government over 20 years ago, later
moving into various roles in Public Health in Alberta. He became the
CIO for Alberta Health where he was instrumental in developing the
vision and setting the stage for what eventually became Alberta
we//net. In 1997 he became part owner of EDM Management Systems, a
consulting firm subsequently sold to Sierra Systems Group. Trevor is
currently a partner with Sierra Systems and is responsible for the
corporate health practice in Canada and the US. He has been
instrumental in the development of the Health Info structure planning
efforts for the federal, provincial and territorial governments across
Canada, the development of the WHIC Provider Registry System, as well
as bringing the Central Station consortium together that recently won
the electronic health record project at the Capital Health Authority in Edmonton.
Sarah Graham has worked in the
health sector for over 20 years in New Zealand, Australia and South
Africa and has held both clinical and management positions. She has
played an active role in many of the recent health care reform projects in
New Zealand including General Manager of a primary managed health care
network where the health care providers held the funds and shared risk
with the government for health care delivery of their patients. With
over 5 years at Orion and its sister company HealthLink, Sarah
is now responsible for Orion Business Development in Canada. Recently,
she moved to establish Orions offices in Edmonton for the
Central Station Consortium Capital Health project.
