Connect Care Clinician Blogs

The AHS CMIO maintains a number of blogging channels to serve Connect Care users, super users and informaticians.

Blogs (short periodic postings) can offer a useful way for clinicians to keep abreast of developments, tips, questions and supports related to the Alberta Health Services (AHS) Connect Care initiative and its clinical information system (CIS). All clinician-oriented blogs are available via a common link:

• blogs.connect-care.ca

Different sub- “channels” support specific interests and needs:

• Bytes (bytes.connect-care.ca): general interest news and updates

• Bridges (bridges.connect-care.ca): topics of interest to clinicians not using Connect Care as the record of care

• Vlogs (vlogs.connect-care.ca): short video postings about Connect Care

• Tips (tips.connect-care.ca): how-to messages that can improve user experiences

• FAQ (questions.connect-care.ca): frequently asked questions about CIS functions

• Informatics (informatics.connect-care.ca): updates of interest to clinical informaticians

• Support (support.connect-care.ca): peer-to-peer help, tips and tricks

All channels can be accessed from any channel by using a button-bar that appears immediately below the blog title area. A global search function allows the same keyword to be used to search all blog channels simultaneously.
