The IHealth Medical Staff Champion Council (MSCC) is composed of 44 members of Island Health’s medical staff, who have been hired as Specialty Leads. This collaborative team meets monthly to provide change leadership throughout the order set harmonization process and the VGH / RJH Tertiary Activation project.
Specialty Leads:
- Actively coordinate and facilitate workflow review sessions and skill sharpeners
- Provide in-person support leading up to and during go-live
- Serve as a liaison for issues/resolution between their area, operations and the IHealth team
- Provide ongoing support post activation as we move to other sites
