The CHE project was initiated in March 1999. Two CHEs were established - one in Edmonton, Alberta focusing on adult health and one in Winnipeg, Manitoba focusing on child health.

High-capacity knowledge-server computers were purchased, installed, configured and optimized. These handle storage and dissemination of knowledge resources, educational support systems and research databases on intranets and the Internet.

• Filled these positions in Edmonton and Winnipeg
• Designed online and printed educational materials to help CHE users install and access the CHE Clinical Integrator Desktop
• Designed and delivered orientation workshops for CHE users, including physicians, nurses, librarians, and students
• Created infrastructure for online help systems

Key accomplishments:

• Procurement and set-up of office space in two major health regions
• Organization of stakeholders and development of governance protocols
• Hiring, training and enabling of first CHE staff
• Instalment and deployment of major Internet services
• Adaptation of a wide range of software technologies to serve the CHE mandate
