THE CALGARY HEALTH REGION SELECTS CGI TO ADVANCE E-HEALTH SERVICES

The Calgary Health Region has awarded a five year contract to CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), valued at approximately $9 million.

This agreement assigns CGI as the primary IT services provider to design, build, implement and operate the Alberta’s Provincial Health Information Exchange (pHIE), an initiative sponsored and co-ordinated by Alberta Health and Wellness and led by the Calgary Health Region. As a foundational component for the interconnection of systems and sharing of information, envisioned over the next several years this “one person, one record” heath information project will create a well-managed, safe and secure point for data exchange between the Regional, Physician, Alberta Cancer Board and Provincial systems that comprise Alberta’s Electronic Health Record.

“Healthcare providers will be given complete, real-time picture of their patient through access to clinical data that is securely transferred between various systems. Patient care and safety will benefit by having health information in the hands of all of the care providers the patient encounter. Privacy and security standards will be higher than anywhere else in the world”, says Bill Trafford, Vice-President Advanced Technology, Calgary Health Region. “We are working closely with CGI to build and operate a system that incorporates leading technologies to give us one of the world’s most advanced health information exchanges.”

“The demonstrated expertise that CGI has in healthcare transformation enables us to help the Calgary Health Region deliver landmark services to citizens”, says Bill Clark, CGI Senior Vice-President in Western Canada. “In turn, Calgary’s leading-edge models will be leveraged to the benefit of other jurisdictions across Canada.”

CGI Healthcare provides expertise that accelerates transformation to electronic health records, facilitates secure health information exchange, automates administration for hospital providers, aligns IT environments with business requirements and manages these environments and the applications that sit within them. The company has served healthcare clients throughout Canada and the United States, including more than 200 hospitals, 30 healthcare systems and more than 140,000 users as well as managed care organizations, private insurance companies and governments in North America including almost half of all government health departments in Canada.
