Medicus Project<br />
The Medicus system is a central information database that serves multiple areas of the <strong>DFM</strong>. Medicus enables a<br />
systematic and automated approach to workflows and operations. Some highlights from this year include:<br />
Streamlined process and management of academic appointments<br />
Algorithmic and automatic generation of resident schedules<br />
Streamlined process and management of clinical privileging<br />
Consolidation and automated reporting on scholarly activities<br />
Quarterly <strong>Report</strong>s<br />
<strong>Report</strong>s cover a large variety of metrics from billings,<br />
continuity, panels, teaching, and are starting to include<br />
clinical metrics such as most frequent medications and<br />
diagnoses.<br />
This year, an effort has been taken to gather direct<br />
feedback from physicians about current metrics and<br />
desired future metrics.<br />
Collaboration with Vendors<br />
Collaboration took place with both AHS Information<br />
Technology ( AHS IT) and Telus to maximize tight<br />
resources and minimize duplication of efforts.<br />

implemented to test possible replacement<br />
technologies for Sunray networks.<br />
Resident Selection Surveys<br />
A custom built survey allowing for residents to select<br />
schedules for their upcoming year and rank the<br />
schedules using an intuitive drag and drop mechanism<br />
was implemented this year. Residents receive<br />

their selections are received by the program.<br />
