There are many important topics to learn about as you begin your work at London Health Sciences Centre and/or St. Joseph's Health Care, London. LHSC and SJHC have numerous clinical care policies and procedures for you to become familiar with. There are a number of systems such as PowerChart and Picture Archiving Communication Systems (PACS) that you will need to access and use daily.
It is critical within your first weeks at the hospitals to learn about Privacy and Fire Response procedures for your own safety and for the safety of patients and employees.
WHMIS, Workplace Hazards Management Information Systems training is mandatory for all employees and also important for your own safety and the safety of those you work with.
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PRIVACY AND ADVANCED POWERCHART, THESE PROGRAMS CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED THROUGH AN LHSC OR SJHC COMPUTER BECAUSE THEY ARE ON THE HOSPITALS' INTRANET SITES.
