Awards

• In April 2006, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care George Smitherman awarded Trillium with Ontario's first Innovation Award for Improving Quality and Patient Safety. Trillium won this award for its continuous commitment to innovation and its breakthrough work with the Trillium order set project

• In November 2007, Canada's National Health Informatics Association (COACH) has recognized Dr. Chris O'Connor, Trillium Health Centre's Director of Medical Informatics and Intensivist, with the Emerging Leader in Health Informatics Award.
