The Innovation and eHealth Branch (IEH) of the New Brunswick Department of Health (DOH) is responsible for overall alignment and integration of innovation and technology within the overall health strategy to achieve optimal health system performance and quality care for all citizens of New Brunswick as well as to ensure the appropriate delivery of information technology services by Service New Brunswick to DOH and system users.
NBIPP
The New Brunswick Insulin Pump Program (NBIPP) supports New Brunswickers living with Type 1 diabetes who are medically eligible for insulin pump therapy. The program seeks to assist individuals in obtaining fair and affordable access to a range of insulin pump devices and the basic operating supplies. Additionally, NBIPP assists individuals requiring intensive insulin therapy delivered via pump therapy or multiple (3+) daily injections, in accessing continuous glucose monitoring sensors.
The NBIPP has undergone a process improvement which covered the expansion of the program and upgrade to the existing MS-Access technology solution. Phases 1 and 2 of this expansion have been completed. Phase 3 has yet to begin.
Phase 1 was completed in December 2023 and resulted in the expansion of the program to increase the number of clients eligible to participate in the IPP by removing the age cap that was set at 25 years of age. Additional changes included: making the program to be a payer of last resort and added support for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) appliances in addition to insulin pumps and pump supplies. These changes required substantial changes to the existing Medical and Client PDF application forms.
Phase 2 was completed in summer of 2024 and resulted in the Client Intake form moving from paper/PDF to an online form allowing application information to move directly into the MS-Access database. This change eliminated the need for the program administrator to manually enter Client information. New reports were also developed, and changes were made to the MS-Access database to receive the data from the online form.
Phase 3 will transition the IPP application from the existing MS-Access database to the Salesforce platform on one of Health’s existing Orgs.
