Huron County groups consider sharing electronic network CLINTON - The Huron County Board of Education and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) co - hosted a meeting with approximate- ly 20 community representatives to discuss the potential for establish- ing an 'Integrated Community Net- work' (ICN) to serve the needs of various community and private sec- tor interests throughout Huron County. The July 3 meeting was at- tended by representatives of the Huron County hospital/health, mu- nicipal government, social services, education, provincial agency and the private sectors. Resource assis- tance was provided by Janet Baird - Jackson, for the Board of Educ- tion, Jane Muegge, for OMAFRA, and Miguel Ferreira representing Bell Global Solutions. An `lntegratpd. Cbinmunity Net- work' would permit various part- ners and Huron County participants to communicate by sharing access to technology systems. Participants would work together to form an in- tegrated network serving individu- al, group and Community needs. A primary purpose of an ICN would be to facilitate more effi- cient, cost-effective communication to meet the specific needs of each participating group. For example, within the health community, offic- es and agencies could share medi- cal data and test results in a secure environment, could provide local tele -medicine support from special- ists located elsewhere, could en- hance homecare support and pro- vide symptom monitoring. In the government sector, public records can become more accessible, tour- ism and housing information can be shared and promoted, contract tend- ers, employment opportunities and business transactions could be facil- r Business Directory AUCTIONEER Filson & Robson FULLY LICENSED & BONDED, CALL OR FAX (519) 666-0833 3 Auctioneers for the Price of 1 With modern 4 qulpment Pickup and sell complete or partial estates Spsclallzing In Farm, Real Estate and Qeseral Sales • REPAIi;:, Sewing Maehtne Repairs to all makes Free estimates 90 Day Warranty Experienced since 1952 Sew and Save Centre Ltd. 149 Downie St, Stratford Phone 271-9660 itated.
