Information Management Systems are the central process management and communication hub for many newborn screening programs. In late 2014, Newborn Screening Ontario (NSO) undertook an end to end assessment of its information management needs which resulted in a project to develop a flexible IS Information Systems (IS) ecosystem and related process changes. This enabled NSO to better manage its current and future work-flows and communication needs. An idealized vision of a Screening Information Management System (SIMS) was developed that was refined into enterprise and functional architectures. This was followed by the development of technical specifications, user requirements and procurement. In undertaking a holistic full product lifecycle redesign approach, a number of change management challenges were faced by NSO across the entire program. Strong leadership support and full program engagement are key for overall project success. It is anticipated that improvements in program flexibility and the ability to innovate will outweigh the efforts and costs.
信息管理系统是许多新生儿筛查项目的核心流程管理和通信枢纽。2014年末，安大略省新生儿筛查项目（NSO）对其信息管理需求进行了端到端评估，结果促成了一个开发灵活的信息系统（IS）生态系统及相关流程变革的项目。这使NSO能够更好地管理其当前和未来的工作流程及通信需求。由此形成了一个理想化的筛查信息管理系统（SIMS）愿景，并细化为企业架构和功能架构。随后制定了技术规范、用户需求和采购方案。在采用整体全产品生命周期重新设计方法的过程中，NSO在整个项目中面临了一些变革管理挑战。强有力的领导支持和整个项目团队的参与是项目整体成功的关键。预计项目灵活性和创新能力的提升将超过所付出的努力和成本。
