Order Sets Program

The Order Sets Program includes several projects that will move the hospitals towards standardized order sets in both a paper-based environment and eventually in an electronic environment. Strategy and Project Leadership is leading a project that will identify and develop the appropriate standards, processes, governance structure and on-going internal support required for the development of paper-based order sets and to prepare for future CPOE (Computerized Provider Order Entry).

Patient Access & Flow “One Number” Project – South West LHIN

In April 2009, all the hospitals and the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) in the South West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) of Southwestern Ontario, agreed to work together develop a standardized protocol for the transfer and return of adults with acute physical health problems who were critically ill (need  access to care within 4 hours), emergent (need access to care within 24 hours) and urgent (need access to care within 48 hours) whose immediate medical needs could not be met by the hospital at which they were located.
