Detailed Overview

Supporting the Vision, Values, Purpose and Commitments of Fraser Health :

The Solution Architect provides business architecture design expertise and leadership to the Information Management (IM) service within Fraser Health including identifying, designing, and evaluating alternative IM solutions that will enable effective health care delivery, optimize the realization of business benefits, and mitigate IM risks. The IM Solution Architect develops IM solution models from the conceptual level through logical to high level physical. To ensure effective outcomes, the IM Solution Architect demonstrates strong links among the desired benefit / outcome, the capabilities of the solution, and the overall investment of funds.

While embracing whole business solutions, the Architecture encompasses automated processes (purchased or custom-built applications), electronic information collections, defined domains of automation, interfaces and integration points with other systems, interfaces to manual business procedures and information collections, and information technology (computers, networks, operating system software, database management systems, security software, middleware, etc.). The Architecture directly integrates business information, functions and processes, must be implementable within the organization and other stakeholders impacted (change management), and must be deliverable given current technology standards and established solution and delivery constraints (project management).
