Four hospitals, Collingwood General and Marine Hospital (CGMH); Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH – Midland); Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC – Orangeville) and Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH – Barrie) have partnered to implement the latest version of shared Health Information System (HIS) platform, called MEDITECH Expanse. This transformational project, which has been named CARE4, is designed to improve the quality of patient care and the delivery of that care throughout the partner hospitals.
This is not just an Information Technology upgrade. The CARE4 project is a clinical and administrative transformation that will enable our hospitals to:
- Enhance quality and safety of patient care
- Streamline care coordination and transitions between the partner hospitals
- Improve health outcomes and the patient and family experience
- Streamline and standardize provider workflow and processes
- Improve access and coordination of information
This is one of the largest and most exciting projects in our collective history. It positively impacts several hundred clinical and operational workflows across the continuum of care, ultimately providing safer, high-quality care to the residents of the regions we serve.
