Upcoming Event - June 16, 2010

The Champlain Electronic Health (eHealth) Strategic Plan

Speaker:

Glenn Alexander
Chief Information Officer
Champlain Local Health Integration Network


Keynote Summary

Glenn Alexander, the Chief Information Officer for the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), will provide an overview of the eHealth Strategic Plan for the Champlain region. Mr. Alexander will review the goals that drive the strategic plan, explore the various initiatives identified in the plan, and discuss the guidelines that will be followed in the rollout of these initiatives.

The Champlain eHealth Strategic Plan was developed through an interactive, consultative approach that involved many parties both inside and outside the LHIN. Mr. Alexander will provide insight into this process and will describe how the resulting plan will move the regional eHealth agenda forward, support improved quality of care, and will ensure alignment with the LHIN, provincial, and national vision.

This informative presentation will be of interest to:

  • Healthcare providers and care givers across the region who will be users of the new eHealth systems described in the strategic plan.
  • Health Informatics professionals who will be implementing, integrating with, or supporting these systems.
  • Health IT vendors who are interested in doing business in the region and want to understand the products and services that may be required over the next 12 to 18 months.

Speaker's Bio

Glenn Alexander joined the Champlain LHIN office in November 2007 as the Chief Information Officer (CIO). Since that time, the LHIN has made significant strides in advancing the eHealth agenda. The Diagnostic Imaging Repository Project, started a little over a year ago, is well into implementation with 15 per cent of hospitals now linked to the central repository. All hospitals in the LHIN are now filmless. The LHIN has created a collaboration space, which in the last nine months has grown from 23 users to over 1000, helping healthcare workers collaborate with one another and share information.

He is an Information Technology, Telecommunications, business professional who has been in the industry for over 30 years. His professional roles have included CIO, Associate Vice President, President and CEO. He has developed and implemented business plans for companies that he has run or advised. Glenn has extensive knowledge in health, government, and telecommunications sectors.
