The new system, which is replacing Juvo, is being implemented in response to feedback across the Health System for an enhanced patient safety reporting tool. Note: File Managers may still need to access Juvo after the Dec. 10 go-live date to complete report actions. Access to Juvo will end Dec. 31, 2019. Access Juvo Manager Login Here.
