March 5th, 2003.  A 78-year-old woman dies in a Toronto hospital of SARS.  So begins this gripping video which looks at SARS aftermath and the creation of a nationwide electronic Public Health Surveillance Tool called Panorama, developed by Canada Health Infoway.  The video was produced in December 07 and updated in August 08. 

A big part of the q team has a hand in this one, designers Graeme Mathieson and Matthew Bennett, editor Steve Lang, director Richard Quinlan and narrator Dorothy Engelman.  The video features a dramatic graphic look and feel along with a gripping narrative.  Minister of Health Tony Clement ends the video with a compelling message - the need for better tools like Panorama to help meet the challenges the next SARS will present.  Ironically this summer’s Listeriosis outbreak again illustrates the need for a solution like this.  Panorama begins to roll-out in the spring of 2009.
