 I had the honor of working directly with Stan in 2003-2004 on the planning and implementation of the B.C. Medical School Expansion. The Expansion was to enable the cost-effective education of medical students in Victoria and Prince George – locations distant from Vancouver.
This project was only made possible through the intensive use of
technology. As Chief Technology Officer, I had overall responsibility
for the project, but Stan played a crucial role in strategy, planning
and operations. This was even more remarkable given his continuing
responsibilities for other (non-project related) information technology
needs for the Faculty of Medicine. I
found that Stan is able to engage in broad discussions of strategy and
applications of emerging technologies. On the other hand, he is also
able to plan and implement detailed processes to address operational
issues such as procedures to recover from potential failures of
technology. Stan is a tireless worker… he is also unfailingly pleasant
and positive…. he will be an asset to any organization seeking to use
technology in creative ways. Jim S.C. Tom, Ph.D. Associate Vice Chancellor for Information Technology / CIO University of Missouri - St. Louis Stan Shaw and Derek Ritz performed a review of our IT Department within the Family Medicine structure. This
was a comprehensive review, looking at a number of different facets of
our IT Department including the clinical care provided OSCAR (Open
Source Clinical Application Resource), the administrative structure,
the hardware, the security, etc. Eighteen months later, we continue to use and refer to their review....We found their review to be thorough and insightful. Our
department felt that we benefited greatly from their expertise and
their ability and willingness to listen carefully and understand the
issues from many different perspectives. They brought a wealth of information and experience to this project and we have benefited greatly from it. David Price, MD, CCFP Chair and Associate Professor Department of Family Medicine Faculty of Health Services, McMaster University Chief, Department of Family Medicine Hamilton Health Services I
want to thank you for the work that you have put into the development
of the MPAACT Charter and the relationship building with the CIO's of
the Health Authorities. In our meeting today with the CIO Council to
review the Charter, the work that you have both done with them was very
evident: the sense in the room was a sense of collaboration…..the sense
of a team going forward with this was very palpable. Thank you. Joanna Bates MDCM CCFP FCFP I have spent many years both as a strategic IT planner and a consumer of IT services. Dr. Shaw stands above the crowd in regards to his depth of knowledge, strategic acumen and operational expertise. He is recognized as a leader in his field for good reason. Jerome Marburg LL. B.

Stan and I collaborated on a strategic evaluation of IT use at the family medicine department of a large Canadian medical school. We worked jointly on the data gathering, analysis and reporting phases of the project. At every step, Stan's expertise, keen insights and deep industry experience were leveraged, culminating in a final report that was very well-received by the client. I would unequivocally recommend Stan in any similar engagement and would welcome a chance to collaborate with him again. He was a terrific teammate. Derek Ritz, Principal, ecGroup Inc. |
