Our Burnaby area client is a leader in the support and provision of healthcare services to the British Columbia public.

The client is seeking a Senior Project Manager on a contract basis to support initiatives within Digital Health Innovation (DHI).

Project Description:

DHI delivers provincial digital health strategies and business transformations by relentlessly focusing on the end user and the end-to-end health services journey for everyone in British Columbia.

Building on this foundation, the province is advancing interoperability solutions that enable more holistic views of patient health records, improve data accuracy, and reduce manual workloads through digitized processes.
