Project description
The goal of the Provincial Home Care Scheduling project is to implement a standardized staff scheduling system and related payroll export for the home care program in seven regional health authorities (RHAs).
Currently, the regions without the system use either a manual paper based system or an electronic system such as Manitoba Support Services Payroll (MSSP), Microsoft Word or Excel to capture client information as well as schedule client visits. The issue with this type of scheduling is that information is fragmented over a number of different media which can present challenges when making decisions. The process to capture client information is time intensive, it can be error prone, it results in duplicated effort during the documentation process and it creates inconsistency in data captured across the RHAs.
Procura has been selected as the vendor to provide the system for home care scheduling across the province.

Major milestones/ schedule
Stage 1: May 2009 to November 2009
This stage includes vendor software agreements development and the definition of operational standards. Business and functional requirements will also be identified and used to develop a proposed future state. The proposed future state model will represent the common processes that will be used by all regions on a forward basis. Early engagement of stakeholders will occur.
Stage 2: November 2009 to April 30, 2010
The second stage will define the Governance structure that will be used for project and ongoing system support. It will also include the definition and development of the QHR export, data migration and Client Registry interface. A preliminary business readiness region by region report will be prepared.
Stage 3: May 3, 2010 to September 30, 2010
This stage will include the physical installation of the central hosting server environment and the creation of the help desk and support structure that will be in place prior to deployment and implementation in each region.
Stage 4: October 2010 to July 2011
The final stage includes the activation preparation and go-live activities for all regions. Change management activities, training, process and business readiness will also occur.
