Excellence Awards 1998
Prix Hommage
1998
On February 17, 1998, the Régie de
l'assurance maladie du Québec was
awarded the Prix Hommage 98, in the
large organizations category, for
its "Autoben" project.
Designed to significantly enhance
the Régie's client service
capabilities, the Autoben project is
a technological solution directly
related to the Régie's role as a
database administrator - a role the
Régie plans to further develop in
the coming years. The Autoben
project has resulted in the
implementation of a new system that
makes it possible to continuously
update the Régie's registry of more
than 7 million insured persons, to
issue Health Insurance Cards within
a shorter time-frame, and to
simplify procedures for the public,
while at the same time complying
with the requirements of the
applicable laws and regulations.
The "Hommage" competition,
introduced in 1998 by the ministère
de l'Industrie, du Commerce, de la
Science et de la Technologie,
contributes to promoting excellence
in the area of public and parapublic
sector administration.
Octas Award
For the second consecutive year,
the Régie de l'assurance maladie du

the Fédération de l'informatique du

evening, held in City of Québec on

to completely remodel its client
services in a context of significant
financial constraint.
