HIMSS Ontario Chapter – Digital Health Innovation Conference November 2022

The Project AMPLIFI team had the pleasure of participating in the HIMSS (Health Information Management System Society) Ontario Chapter – Digital Health Innovation Conference last month. The conference provided the opportunity to network with industry leaders, learn about exciting digital health initiatives in Ontario and abroad, as well as share the exciting work we are doing as part of Project AMPLIFI with the broader digital health community.

Team members, Dr. Dan Perri (Chief Medical Officer, Project AMPLIFI) and Tyler Aird (Senior Project Manager, Project AMPLIFI) presented their work on the pilot study that preceded Project AMPLIFI. The pilot project enabled the sharing of resident health information between St. Joseph’s Villa Long-Term Care home in Dundas, Ontario and St. Joseph’s hospital. The pilot demonstrated value for residents and health care providers and resulted in funding to expand health information exchange across the province. As a result, SJHH was tasked to lead Project AMPLIFI by the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Long-Term Care.

The conference was humming with enthusiasm and interest about Project AMPLIFI – The Project AMPLIFI speaking session was standing room only!

To learn more about the pilot project and associated findings, we encourage you to refer to the published pilot study paper for further details.
