About Us
As part of the Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services, the Digital Health division provides quality information to health professionals, the public, researchers, and health system decision makers. Through collaboration with the health system, we support the development of data and technical standards, maintain key health databases, carry out analytics and evaluation, and support health research. We support healthcare within Newfoundland and Labrador, including patients and communities through the delivery of information technology (IT) and digital health services applied in the healthcare system to provide quality care. Our mandate includes the development and implementation of a confidential and secure provincial electronic health record as well as other provincial clinical information programs, including the change management required to support adoption by end user clinicians.
In alignment with the Provincial Health Accord, NL Health Services will be replacing Meditech Magic and Client Server (CRMS) as well as other digital health systems with a new leading- edge Health Information System (HIS). This project will be the largest health care system implementation ever launched in Newfoundland and Labrador.
EPIC has been selected as the preferred digital health solution for this HIS project. This transformational change will allow us to join other Canadian provinces in the modernization of our provincial health information system. In support of the HIS project, it has been determined that the NL Health Services will require recruitment for positions in Clinical Informatics, Information Technology, Analytics and Change Management.
