AIMS: What to expect
As you know, the new Administrative Information Management System (AIMS) will come online next week. Use this checklist to identify and highlight tasks that are required to be completed pre and post Go Live for AIMS.
Modernizing our province’s health-care administration processes will mean a more reliable payroll system, automated staff scheduling, and a real-time picture of our vast inventory, to name just some of the benefits.
Managing expectations surrounding such a large scale change is important. We ask that you recognize that we are going to get most things right and some things wrong. We will rely upon our quality improvement mindset to continually improve the processes and services once stabilized. When AIMS is first implemented issues requiring correction could include:
- Some employees being paid incorrectly,
- Some employees being scheduled incorrectly,
- Potential for supply orders being missed,
- Incorrect financial information (like payments to vendors), and
- Reporting limitations as data stabilization needs to occur and staff need time to stabilize the system before they can perform more routine functions.
It is expected there will be errors and issues at a level greater than we experience today until the implementation is stabilized.
