Key Discussions

• Once we have finalized the standardization piece, CGI will reach out to HAMIS team to confirm datasets.

• VIHA wanted to confirm that the new tool will have the ability to export a submission that translates into formulas (as long as kept in the same format that CHEFS can accept)

  • or download the form/template to excel

• Communication with the operators/LTC sector

  • training is important; the rollout will be approached much more holistically and efficiently

  • kerri envisions a mapping process where we can map each field captured in the quarterly report to the fields in the new tool.
