# BC Ministry of Health

Optimizing Healthcare Workforce Data for Swift Decision-Making.

## Challenge

During the COVID-19 outbreak, those working on the frontlines to keep the population safe were also some of the most at-risk to contract the virus themselves. The province of British Columbia needed a centrally-managed platform to track all the facilities that a healthcare worker might work at and assign them to a single site, in order to help manage the spread.

## Solution

We were engaged by the BC Ministry of Health and the Health Employers Association of BC to quickly build a website to collect facility and single site preference information from healthcare workers, all while prioritizing data security. The entire system was purpose-built around data protection, including encryption and anonymization, ensuring all data was hosted on Canadian servers.

## Impact

The initial site was launched in just six days. Since then, the site has collected staffing data of over 100,000 BC-based healthcare workers and cross-referenced it with schedules from over 1,200 facilities.
