For me, it\u2019s truly exciting. I see nothing but opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-default\" style=\"border-color:#2e3343\"><blockquote class=\"has-text-color has-theme-primary-color\"><p>I&#8217;m gaining connections I&#8217;ve not had before in this [community of practice]. I see nothing but opportunity.<\/p><cite>Karen Brule, CHIM, Executive Director, Alberta Health Services<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:42px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Karen\u2019s health care career started in 1989, her work in health information management (HIM) in Alberta began during the province\u2019s restructuring of its health system. She progressed through a series of leadership, project management and data standards roles, working within information management, including health information, and technology. In 2009, when AHS was formed, Karen accepted a role as director of provincial strategic initiatives, a position that, she says, \u201creally started getting us thinking into the opportunities for provincial service delivery in areas like data integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Provincial Senior Director Kathleen Addison\u2019s leadership and the overall vision of a provincial eHIM delivery model, \u201cthe stage was set to explore opportunities for standardization and leading practice application [of these standards] across all domains of health information management,\u201d Karen says. \u201cThese opportunities were also enabled by further organizational restructuring across all domains, with a balance between a zone operational and provincial service delivery.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these opportunities and choices culminated in Karen\u2019s unique HIM career path and also influenced the development of information governance in health care in Alberta. A key point on that career path? Serving in the role of operational director, which expanded her understanding of \u201cthe challenges and requirements within the operation\u2019s health information management space, including health information records management, registration, access and disclosure, provincial speech recognition\/dictation\/transcription services, and of course, data collection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This meant that when Karen transitioned into the role of director of provincial strategic initiatives, she did so with a highly knowledgeable perspective on information governance \u2014 knowledge and experience that ultimately propelled her to her current role as executive director of provincial standards and strategies at AHS in 2017. \u201cI\u2019m now responsible for overseeing provincial strategic initiatives. This includes the Provincial Data Integrity Unit, project and business solutions, and resources dedicated to supporting our provincial clinical information system. It also includes communications, learning and development, Clinical Terminology Services, and the Enterprise Information Management (EIM) program.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the aid of tenacious efforts and know-how from Kathleen Addison and Karen\u2019s ED predecessor, Karanne Miller-Lambton, \u201cthe EIM program truly came into fruition,\u201d providing a foundation upon which to explore and execute key IG deliverables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-default\" style=\"border-color:#2e3343\"><blockquote class=\"has-text-color has-theme-primary-color\"><p>The information governance community of practice could provide opportunities to share ideas, job descriptions, and responsibilities.<\/p><cite>Karen Brule, CHIM, Executive Director, Alberta Health Services<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:43px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s this scope of experience that Karen brings to her current engagement with CHIMA\u2019s information governance community \u2014 a community she says she joined in order to be a part of, and to assist in, fostering relationships with like-minded colleagues across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot only is this an opportunity for interjurisdictional networking,\u201d Karen says, \u201cbut I also envision simple things such as a library of resources \u2014 with whatever people are willing to share. There might be barriers or restrictions to that, but I think if we can surpass those challenges, [we would all benefit from] sharing general experiences, strategic planning documents including roadmaps, frameworks, templates and, even organizational structures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One example that springs to mind: \u201cIn Alberta, we\u2019re implementing a provincial clinical information system \u2013 Connect Care \u2014 a fantastic opportunity to advance our IG activities in a digital environment. As we progress, we\u2019re discovering the need for new and emerging roles, some in support of specific IG areas such as information lifecycle management. The IG community of practice could provide opportunities to share ideas, job descriptions, and responsibilities,\u201d Karen says.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advantages of building and tapping into such a network of professionals are not just reserved for IG specialists either. Karen emphasizes the community is an opportunity for continued learning for those who work directly in IG and those who don\u2019t, noting that future topics for exploration may include informatics, virtual health, and digital health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The type of knowledge shared at first \u201cmight not be, necessarily, overarching plans for information governance \u2014 because I know some jurisdictions may not be at that level of maturity. But [it could be information in] specific areas such as master data management, metadata management, and other data management initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c[In Alberta], we are at varying levels of execution,\u201d Karen says, \u201cbut we\u2019ve really moved some of these areas along significantly over the years. There is a huge organizational appetite to advance the information governance agenda as well, which is extremely exciting and encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.echima.ca\/ig-community\/\">Learn about the CHIMA Information Governance Community<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently we spoke with Karen Brule, CHIM, Executive Director, Alberta Health Services (AHS), to discuss her career journey through the health information profession and her current involvement with the CHIMA Information Governance Community. \u201cA lot of my time has been [focused] on operations and dealing with local issues in the past few decades,\u201d Karen says, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":1504565,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[438,383,359,356,136,418,350,144,362,137],"tags":[468,388],"class_list":["post-1504564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-438","category-abnt","category-articles","category-chima","category-type","category-interviews","category-partner","category-chapters","category-stories","category-year","tag-community-groups","tag-information-governance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
