Since its creation last June, Shared Health was evaluating many health initiatives, including rural and remote health authorities’ proposed clinical cuts to meet the province’s savings targets. In addition to clinical assignments, Shared Health will take over provincial lab services, handle health human resource issues and be in charge of capital planning and supply chain processes. The VP of population and Aboriginal health, the COO of emergency response and patient transport, as well as the regional director of primary healthcare and chronic disease have all moved to Shared Health. WRHA’s regional director of primary healthcare and chronic disease role was divided amongst two employees. The other portfolios, including the VP of population and Aboriginal health and COO of emergency response and patient transport, will now be under Shared Health’s purview.
