Shared Health brings together clinical experts from across the province to deliver a patient-centred, accessible, responsive health system that people can count on. Shared Health plans clinical and preventive services for delivery across the entire province, supported by centralized administrative functions that use human, capital, and financial resources in the best way possible. We work collaboratively with regional health authorities, service delivery organizations and communities to ensure the health care needs of Manitobans are met compassionately, effectively, and as close to home as possible.

The SAP S/4HANA conversion project was one of the largest technology projects undertaken by Shared Health, and was completed using a completely virtual team. After months of collaborative work by Digital Health and its partners, including rigorous test cycles and problem-solving, the SAP enterprise resource planning platform (ERP) for the Winnipeg health region and Shared Health was converted to SAP S/4HANA on January 17, 2022. This system provides critical hospital and business administrative services, supporting payroll for over 36,000 employees in locations across the province, human resources, supply chain and financial services. As well, SAP interfaces with many other clinical and business systems.
