Clinical Informatics Instructional Designers

Healthtech Consultants is seeking Clinical Informatics Instructional Designers to work for our public sector client in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. You must be available to work 100% remote full-time 40 hours per week with availability Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm Pacific Standard Time.

Project Overview

Island Health is continuing to progress the iHealth initiative by expanding the implementation of Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) in tertiary sites, activating next in Victoria General Hospital (VGH) and Royal Jubilee Hospital (RJH).

The CPOE stream encompasses the implementation of guided electronic ordering for diagnostic tests, medications and specialist referrals. Medication safety focuses on closed loop medication management, including bar code medication administration and includes interaction checking, medication reconciliation and electronic management of medication histories.

The IHealth team and senior clinical and medical leaders have agreed that Victoria General Hospital (VGH) will go live in mid-February 2024 and Royal Jubilee Hospital (RJH) will go live in mid-March 2024 with computerized provider order entry (CPOE) and a “closed-loop” medication administration and management system. Gorge Road Hospital (GRH) and South Island Surgical Centre (SISC) will activate with VGH.

Background

IHealth is a client-focused transformation within Island Health. It is all about client-centered care:

• Supporting quality, safe patient care

• Creating consistency across sites and systems

• Helping to decrease the risk of medication-related errors

IHealth is a transformative approach to health and care within Island Health and our community. One way we are achieving this is by using a technology called the Electronic Health Record (EHR).

The EHR, developed in partnership with Cerner, is a recording and reporting tool, enabling electronic health documentation, communication, scheduling, ordering and standardization, and decision-making.

A singular, fully electronic health record empowers staff, physicians and clients to be better informed, with increased efficiency and accuracy. Island Health’s primary goal in introducing the IHealth initiative is to improve the health of island residents through personalized, integrated care.

The Instructional Designer works with Subject Matter Expert (SME) and the Content Development Team to produce instructionally sound Learning and Performance Support (L&PS) product manuscripts which support the organization's initiatives and the Vancouver Island Health Authority IHealth Initiative. They direct the SME through the content authoring process, advising on product instructional components (static and animated graphics, appropriate learning activities and feedback, simulations and interactive sequences as well as learning evaluation within the product, including formative and summative evaluative components and content design and layout).
