Dr. Lou named as one of alberta's top 100
physicans of the century

Dr. Francescutti is named to the list of Alberta's 100 Physicians of the Century. The list marks the centennial of the AMA and the College of Physicians, which were created after Alberta became a separate province in 1905. More than 400 names were submitted and the final list was selected by a panel of 14 physicians and members of the public.

In 1997, Lou identified that there was a need for a coordinating organization to undertake the study of injuries and lead the implementation of programs and initiatives aimed at reducing the occurrence of personal injury.

Working with others, he was able to convince the Government of Alberta to establish the Alberta Centre for Injury Control & Research.

The Centre staff consists of researchers, statisticians, program coordinators, educators and communicators who work with partners across Alberta to control injury. The Centre has become an internationally recognized example of a coordinated approach to injury control.

Back in the late 1980s, Dr. Francescutti led a team to develop an award-winning multimedia injury prevention presentation directed at teenagers called HEROES. This exciting new approach to injury prevention has survived the test of time and is still touring the world in a modified version.

A research team at the University of Alberta, led by Dr. Lou, conceived and developed a prototype with the goal of revolutionizing patient information management.

ROAM I.T. is a now a global leader in healthcare information technology, and is proud to have developed the world's only Total Care Solution, RAMPART Clinical Support Tool (CST), for patient-data management, a product that meets the needs of today's fast-paced mobile medical professionals.
