Testimonials from past Panelists & Attendees
"The roundtable was an excellent opportunity to hear and converse in real-time with peers from a diverse operational perspective on some of the challenges they face in Ontario's healthcare sector from vantage points which included legal, government and information technology. The forum facilitated forthright and candid discussion that brought attention for the need of a more coordinated and inclusive approach to be put forward with vendors, government and the healthcare community in order to better assist in the resolution of the outstanding issues uniformly expressed," Peter Catford, Vice President, Information Management & C.I.O., Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)
"The roundtable organized by Direct Engagement on “Security, Privacy Systems & Policies in a Wireless and e-Health Environment” and presented with ITAC Ontario afforded a rare opportunity to gain insight into the issues faced by institutional health information custodians in implementing Ontario’s new health information protection law. The session was well organized and the format contributed to an exceptionally candid discussion, facilitating an appreciation of what remains to be done," Bonnie Freedman, LLB, Goodman & Carr
"The peer-to-peer forum was a special opportunity to hear first-hand about some of the IT challenges facing Ontario's healthcare sector. This information will enable Entrust and other vendors to have a more focused discussion with healthcare IT professionals, collaborating on innovative new ideas and ultimately working as partners to deploy truly valuable solutions,” Entrust Limited.
“Just wanted to thank you for the session on Privacy you organized – it was very helpful to get a sense of the challenges and issues that like organizations were experiencing and it also provided me with a higher level of confidence that we are addressing the legislation in appropriate fashion. Additionally, the composition of the group included diverse perspectives (legal, technical, operational and procedural) which allowed the entire group to gain better understanding surrounding some aspects of the legislation that we may have had some uncertainty around.” Andrew Brearton, Director of Information Services, St. Joseph's Health Centre
"Direct Engagement's roundtable thought leadership forum was an excellent opportunity to obtain up-to-the-moment, unedited information from not one but a boardroom full of decision makers in a candid and frank peer-to-peer dialogue on their burning questions and issues that they face operationally today," Rogers Wireless Communications Inc.
"It was both timely and encouraging to hear from other stakeholders that the implementation of Bill 31 was generating anxieties around the table. Different interpretations of the bill and PHIPA could translate into a variety of differing demands on software and hardware providers. Sharing concerns about this is a first step toward developing realistic, shared standards and consistent operational systems. Compatibility between operational systems will be key in developing a truly patient-centered circle of care. This came across clearly during this productive roundtable facilitated by DEI and ITAC. I just hope the vendors were paying close attention!" George Tolomiczenko, Ph.D., M.P.H., M.B.A., Research Director & Interim Public Affairs Director, SJHC
