Assets of common interest – A few examples (1 of 3) DSIE: The application “Demande de services interétablissements” (request for inter-institution services) is a clinical information exchange tool required by different stakeholders regarding users who are transferred from one institution to another or to their home. I-CLSC: Information system for managing clinical information for first- line services in local community service centres (CLSC). It is also used by rehabilitation centres (centres de réadaptation en dépendances) and Aboriginal communities. Info-Santé and Info-Social Web (ISISW): Application that supports professionals in their telephone interventions with the general public and also with customers registered through the Service. Module de garde (care module): The application allows organizations providing care (medical, social, nursing or other) to collect the schedules. The Info-Santé and Info-Social personnel can consult the schedules of the professionals listed.

Assets of common interest – A few examples (2 of 3) PIJ: This application is for managing information concerning users, the services they receive in accordance with their relevant intervention process. RRSS: Application for finding the most suitable service or the most appropriate resource, responding to the problem experienced by the user. Available for the network stakeholders, it helps to quickly locate the coordinates of a particular hospital, a CLSC or a rehabilitation centre, in addition to the resources that are part of the network through their mission to assist the public (pharmacies, medical clinics, community organizations, etc.). RSIPA: This solution provides various software tools to stakeholders in the health and social services network (RSSS) to support the clinical evaluation process of the person with a loss of autonomy.

Assets of common interest – A few examples (3 of 3) Videoconferencing: the centralized videoconferencing and collaboration service supports the telehealth activities, administrative meetings, continuing education, research and distance learning through the integrated multimedia telecommunications network (RITM). For a complete list of assets of common interest including a more comprehensive description, you are invited to visit the following website: informationnels.aspx [French only] For support, the FNQLHSSC will be the link with the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS).

Partner approach for accessing the RITM / RI To access the RITM information assets, any non-contracted partner must: 1- Identify their needs: Are the users mobile? What information assets need to be accessed? –The DGTI-MSSS steering department (Direction du pilotage) controls the assets of common interest contents. It assists applicants in prioritizing their needs and identifying the information assets to meet these needs. –An agreement with the owners of the information assets must be signed to obtain access rights. Will access to information assets be given to all users of all sites or only to a few clinicians? Are the clinicians already part of the RITM? Do you require videoconferencing with the RITM? 2- Subsequently, the FNQLHSSC shall send a formal request to the MSSS: Identify the best remote access service based on the needs expressed and the volume required. A safety analysis will be conducted to determine the level of trust and the controls required for connecting the First Nations CSSS to the RITM.
