Project Manager – HIS Implementation (2-Year Contract)
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is a nationally-leading and internationally-recognized academic health care centre based at several sites in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Our team delivers expert, compassionate care to patients from across Ontario; wide ranging and sometimes unique education to thousands of learners each year; and research and implementation of innovations that invent the future of health care. Since our first patient in 1946, Sunnybrook has evolved and expanded to become a network of integrated sites and campuses representing the full continuum of care including pre-hospital, acute, and post-acute and key specialty services for Ontario.

The project is a pillar of enabling exemplary patient experience and quality of care and therefore this is not solely an information technology initiative, but one founded in clinical transformation and care redesign. Led by the Clinical Informatics Team, Project REACH will strive to enhance patient care, streamline clinical workflows and support our clinicians.
