Our Surrey 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 half-time, contract basis to support Digital Enablement  – Clinical Ancillary Solutions activities.

Project Description:

The project will modernize and replace the Stryker LIFENET Alert system at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) and Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) to ensure uninterrupted, secure transmission of pre-hospital ECG alerts from BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) to hospital cardiac teams. This system is critical for early triage and rapid Code STEMI activation before patients arrive. With vendor support ending in December 2026, the current platform poses growing operational, security, licensing, and interoperability risks for over 100 clinicians who rely on these alerts for time-sensitive cardiac care.

Since LIFENET end-of-life support concludes in December 2026; a replacement solution must be initiated in advance to ensure continuity and alignment. The scope includes procuring and implementing the latest LIFENET solution, upgrading required infrastructure and licensing, validating interoperability with BCEHS systems, standardizing workflows across all sites, and training clinical teams. All LIFENET sites will be upgraded and aligned by March 2027, ensuring a stable, compliant, and provincially aligned ECG alerting workflow.

Anticipated services include:

Our client is seeking a single Project Manager to lead and coordinate the planning, upgrade, and implementation of the LIFENET ECG alerting platform, including the replacement of end-of-life components and alignment with provincial standards. This engagement will be up to a maximum of 0.5 FTE.

• Conduct hands-on analysis as required to finalize functional, technical, and interoperability requirements, including validation with BCEHS systems.
• Collaborate with clinical, technical, and operational teams, Technology Services, external vendors, and regional partners to ensure coordinated delivery, standardized workflows, and effective change management.

The Project Manager will work closely and collaboratively with Digital Enablement team, Tech Services and the clinical area regarding solution strategy, delivery and change management for this project.
