MUHC is a non-profit organization under the authority of the Quebec Government, mandated to provide development services and manage the outsourcing contract for the McGill University Teaching Hospitals

My first two years were in the capacity of a Sr. P/A responsible for development, implementation and maintenance.

My responsibilities for the last 4+ years have been as a Senior Systems Analyst/Project Manager. The majority of my work involved system integration and choosing technology solutions for the healthcare sector. I operate at times more like a Business Analyst with a team of 7 at my disposal but the hands-on approach of the organization keeps my feet firmly planted within the technology, and because of this have a very good vision for IT solutions. Getting IT solutions realized was also my responsibility, and worked very closely with all aspects of the organization (my team, vendors, directors, and provincial/state authorities) to co-ordinate efforts and smooth out the political and technical wrinkles. Some of my special accomplishments have been:

Integration Engine realization

TCP/IP sockets for VSE/ESA (Novell SAA Gateway) realization

Interfaces Task Force setup/chair

Documentation standards

Conformation to industry standards (HL7)

Internal Interface standards

Some of my more specific projects have been:

Master Patient Index (five hospitals)

Integration Engine Project Leader (RFP, purchase, install, admin.)

Radiology Imaging (support/integration role)

Pharmacy BDM (vendor) integration

Radiology bar-coding/film tracking
