InfoWay

Canada Health Infoway invests with provinces and territories across the country in Electronic Health Record initiatives.

Infoway has partnered with British Columbia on several initiatives. One of the most notable is the Fraser Health Authority shared diagnostic imaging project, which allows 12 hospitals to electronically capture and share patient X-Rays, MRIs and CT-scans.

For more information on Canada Health InfoWay and eHealth in BC, refer to the eHealth Strategic Framework (pdf) document.

 
arrow eHealth and PharmaNet

A patient is discharged following a short stay in hospital.

As a result of the expansion of PharmaNet into the hospital environment and physician offices, the patient is confident that prescribed medications are safe and compatible with the medications their physician had previously prescribed.

This patient is aware that the surgeon and the pharmacist had to access the PharmaNet system when initiating the new prescription, and were notified about all the past and current medications that had been prescribed.
