Humber River Hospital recently invested in a predictive analytics Command Centre.

ORLANDO, FL -- ( Canadian Healthcare Technology Magazine ) -- It drives PeterBak nuts when hospitals tout their HIMSS Analytics EMRAM scores and make reaching Stage 6 or 7 the object of their IT strategies. Not that he’s against the EMRAM program. It’s just that he believes there’s more to healthcare IT than dreamt of in the HIMSS Analytics philosophy. “EMRAM doesn’t cover what’s going on, above and beyond the patient charts,” he said. “It’s limited.” Bak, CIO with Humber River Hospital in Toronto, gave an interview to Canadian Healthcare Technology while at the 2019 HIMSS conference.
