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 />

Technology ( AHS IT) and Telus to maximize tight<br />
