HIS Conversion and Go- Manager - Temporary - Project REACH

Conversion & Go-Live Manager – HIS Implementation

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is a nationally leading and internationally-recognized academic health care centre based at several sites in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Our team delivers expert, compassionate care to patients from across Ontario; wide ranging and sometimes unique education to thousands of learners each year; and research and implementation of innovations that invent the future of health care. Since our first patient in 1946, Sunnybrook has evolved and expanded to become a network of integrated sites and campuses representing the full continuum of care including pre-hospital, acute, and post-acute and key specialty services for Ontario.

Sunnybrook is embarking on a multi-year digital, clinical transformation project to implement a new health information system (HIS) across all campuses and satellite sites, through Project REACH. The project is a pillar of enabling exemplary patient experience and quality of care and therefore this is not solely an information technology initiative, but one founded in clinical transformation and care redesign.

Led by the Clinical Informatics Team, Project REACH will strive to enhance patient care, streamline clinical workflows and support our clinicians.

Reporting to the Project Director of Training, Conversion & Go-Live, the Manager, HIS Conversion & Go-Live is a senior operational leadership role responsible for developing and executing the cutover and go-live plan for the transition to the new Health Information System. This role owns the cutover and go-live strategy from end to end — encompassing cutover planning and sequencing, site readiness, and go-live command center operations — working across clinical, operational, technical, and vendor teams to ensure every site activates safely and with confidence.

In collaboration with the HIS vendor, project leadership, and change management, this manager will also oversee the development of the go-live schedule, logistics, and support assignments for End Users, Super Users, and At-The-Elbow (ATE) resources. The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on experience in HIS implementations and multi-site healthcare transitions, paired with the leadership presence to guide diverse teams under pressure, resolve issues decisively, and sustain the trust of clinical and operational stakeholders at every phase of one of healthcare’s most complex transitions.
