Description

Who is eHealth Saskatchewan
eHealth Saskatchewan (eHealth) is a Treasury Board Crown Corporation with a unique blend of healthcare and IT services.

Our vision is to empower patients and enable care, with a mission to make patient information available electronically to patients and their healthcare team.

It is a complex environment, constantly evolving, and quickly changing.

To give an idea of the size and complexity of our organization, we currently house more than 44 million lab results (60,000 lab results daily), 130 million prescriptions, and 500 million digital diagnostic images for a provincial population of one million citizens.

All of this information is securely protected, delivered, and readily available to healthcare providers through a wide array of platforms and tools used within physician offices, acute care centers, pharmacies, labs, and community clinics throughout our province.

eHealth has also developed a web based viewer for healthcare providers to bring all this information into one easy-to-use and readily available healthcare portal.

We also provide a web-based patient portal for citizens of Saskatchewan that allows access their own health records and supports citizens in taking charge of their own care and health in partnership with their healthcare provider(s).
