Lauren Petersen

          I was born and raised in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I began my role in health care in 2010, first as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) before transitioning into a Registered Nurse (RN) in 2017. I have spent the majority of my career at Providence Health Care working on acute medical and surgical units, thriving in the fast- paced environments. While working as a clinical RN, I've had the opportunity to work alongside several dynamic leadership teams. These teams have inspired me to return to school to pursue a Masters in Health Studies degree, which I plan to use to further my career in health administration in a leadership role.  

           Most recently I have taken on a Clinical Informatics Specialist role within the Clinical and Systems Transformation (CST) project in Vancouver, British Columbia. I will continue to be employed by Providence Health Care during my time with this project. In my role as a Clinical Informatics Specialist I am responsible for design/ build, implementation, and sustainment of a new Electronic Health Record (EHR). Critical to this is to work with clinicians and sites to identify new workflow processes that support best practice and to support end user adoption.
