This includes oversight of the full improvement lifecycle — from intake and prioritization through design, configuration, implementation, and evaluation. This work supports a provincially coordinated model of evidence-informed, system-enabled practice. The Program Lead ensures that clinical knowledge, decision support, and specialty workflows are effectively translated into digital systems and continuously refined based on performance, user experience, and clinical outcomes. The Program Lead provides leadership across a complex stakeholder environment, working closely with clinical leaders, operational programs, Digital Health partners, and external partners including academic institutions, professional associations, and physician/nursing and allied health groups. This role also provides mentorship and practice leadership to Senior Advisors, Clinical Informatics, fostering a high standard of informatics expertise and consistency in practice across the province.
