The CI Lead works within the Indigenous Wellness Core. This role works with the Clinical Informatics (CI) team within the various operational portfolios as well as with various Zone Clinical Informatics teams. This team facilitates the optimal use of clinical information technology in support of the highest quality, safest, and most seamless continuum of clinical service delivery. The CI Lead, as a member of the IWC team, demonstrates leadership and expertise in the development, deployment, adoption, sustainability, and optimization of clinical information systems in support of the Indigenous Wellness Core in alignment with the Indigenous Health Commitments: Roadmap to Wellness.
