Canada Health Infoway

Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) is leading the development and implementation of electronic health record projects across Canada. Infoway works with provinces and territories to invest in electronic health projects, which support safer, more efficient health care delivery. Fully respecting patient confidentiality, these private and secure systems provide health care professionals with immediate access to complete and accurate patient information, enabling better decisions about diagnosis and treatment. The result is a sustainable health care system offering improved quality, accessibility, productivity and cost savings.
