PART TIME Senior BA to articulate requirements for test cases for replacement health systems project (SOW20230315ND - 2)

S.i. Systems enterprise health client is seeking a PART TIME Senior BA to articulate requirements for test cases for replacement health systems project. 

9 month contract 

The project is to replace the BC Cancer OSCAR and CAP software systems. IMITS will be using the existing systems as a reference and creating new systems on the cloud to enhance the existing functionality/workflows and develop new functionality.
OSCAR and the CAP are two automated, web-based applications within BC Cancer’s Provincial Pharmacy information system that operates on the PHSA network and currently hosted on IMITS servers.
 
OSCAR

• OSCAR is used to collect, adjudicate, and reimburse claims for cancer treatment drugs (referred to as “Benefit Drugs”) dispensed at the 61 CON hospital pharmacies operated by the regional health authorities across BC. OSCAR processes nearly half of all cancer treatments delivered in the province.

 
CAP

• CAP is a software system supporting a 3-stage expert appraisal of special requests for anti-cancer treatments for all British Columbians. CAP receives over 9000 claims from the 61 CON hospitals and 6 BC Cancer regional cancer centres annually.

·       These software systems are essential to managing the BC Cancer Budget, are 15 years old, are not vendor supported, and do not meet modern security requirements.  Critically, these systems increasingly having unexpected errors and downtime that affect the integrity of the medical record.
·       This is a nine-month, 0.5 FTE engagement with a final product of delivering new systems to the users at BC Cancer and the 5 regional health authorities.
