The Strategic Technology Enablement (STE) pillar led by GVP Chris Briggs includes both teams dedicated to deep expertise in specialty business areas such as Education, Research, Population Health, Philanthropy, Marketing and Communications, and Provider Solutions and Deployment, as well as teams dedicated to Clinical Technology Services.
The Clinical Technology Services name is new, but the work of the End User Services, Clinical Engineering & Biomedical, and AskIT teams is not new. Over the past year, there has been an ongoing effort to align the Clinical Engineering and the local IS teams, and to put in place leadership for each region/ministry for service delivery of these functions.
Now that Clinical Technology Services leadership hiring is complete, IS & RESO caregivers are encouraged to get to know the team serving their region.

In addition to establishing local teams that serve the needs of our caregivers, the Clinical Technology Services team has designed a number of central roles that support the entire system and their outcomes cross all regions. Those teams include:
- Enterprise Services/Shared Capability – Steve Ellithrope, exec. director
- AskIT/AskCE (Remote Services) – Angela Sanders, exec. director
- Service Transformation – Ami Worcester, exec. director
- Service Analytics – Jelena Ramsey, director
IS & RESO caregivers will begin to hear about work that is underway to optimize our efforts. For example, Steve Ellithorpe, exec. Director, has already begun to work across the regions in the contracting and sourcing space. Caregivers should be reassured that Steve and others working on system-level work will be highly engaged with regional leaders, local teams, and other partners.
Now that the organizational model is complete and in the final stages of implementation, the Clinical Technology Services team will focus on five strategic focus areas:
- Cybersecurity
- Workforce strategy
- Operating model
- Data-driven insights and strategy
- Service Delivery Modernization
Teams will be working to optimize processes, enhance service excellence, and transform to a true modern enterprise service model.
