GOVERNANCE

Manitoba eHealth Provincial Program Council
The Manitoba eHealth Program reports to the Deputy Minister through a Provincial Program Council that is composed of senior executives of the major stakeholders with representation from regional health authorities, CancerCare Manitoba, Diagnostic Services of Manitoba and Manitoba Health.

The Manitoba eHealth Program is administratively housed within the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, and is subject to all Winnipeg Regional Health Authority policies and processes. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has a direct reporting line to the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and to the Deputy Minister of Manitoba Health through the Council.

Manitoba eHealth Program Oversight Committee
The Manitoba eHealth Program is supported directly by Manitoba Health and the Manitoba Government through a separate operating funding envelope. Its overall mandate is subject to review by an Oversight Committee, reporting directly to the Minister of Health, and chaired by the Deputy Minister.

As well as the Deputy of Manitoba Health, the Committee is composed of the Deputy Minister of Innovation, Energy and Mines; the Chair of the Program Council; as well as one member from the Council, the Executive Director of RHAM. The Committee meets twice per year to review the progress and status of the program as well as to review its plans for the future.
