Meet Terri Fiorenza, Director – Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Digital Health.
Q: Terri, could I start with your coffee order please?
A: A small skinny latte is my go-to, however I also have an espresso after dinner as well.
Q: You are the Director of EMR – what does the job entail?
A: I oversee the EMR team who is responsible for maintaining, optimising and enhancing the EMR based on user and organisation requirements, which also includes establishing the future direction for EMR build across the organisation in line with the Northern Health Digital strategy and the organisation’s strategic plan.
Q: If you could describe Northern Health in a sentence, what would it be?
A: Northern Health is an innovative and progressive healthcare organisation committed to achieving exceptional outcomes through patient-centred care, advanced medical practices and continuous improvement.
Q: What has been your greatest achievement in life?
A: My greatest achievement is my family, who inspire me with purpose and direction.
Q: How do you unwind from work?
A: The drive home is time I take to unwind from work, by listening to music and making phone calls to family and friends.
Q: What is something that most people would not know about you?
A: Not much really! My kids find it hard to believe that I have sky dived, bungee jumped and ridden in a hot air balloon. These activities occurred before children, and needless to say, those thrill-seeking days have definitely slowed down as I’ve gotten older!
Q: What is your favourite holiday destination?
A: Italy would have to be my favourite holiday destination because of its rich culture, history and vibrant atmosphere. I’m lucky enough to be visiting again this year after 14 years since my last visit, and this time around sharing the experience with my family.
