Overview:

At Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) we believe a more connected and collaborative system is a healthier system, and we work with governments, health care organizations, clinicians and patients to make health care more digital.

We're working to ensure that everyone is able to access their personal health information, book appointments, get prescriptions, view lab test results and access other health services, online.

We're working with our partners to transform the health system because we know that digital in health can be as transformative as digital has been in other aspects of our lives.

We're an independent, not-for-profit organization funded by the federal government.

Continuing to improve Canadian health care necessitates work in interoperability — connected systems are healthier systems. Connected care means a healthier Canada, and Infoway is committed to advancing interoperability. Harnessing data sharing will result in "connected care" and a modern health system for all Canadians.

In support of the provinces and territories, Infoway is facilitating a national collaborative effort to advance interoperability using a collaborative development process.

Together with our jurisdictional, clinical, patient and industry partners we are committed to improving the health of Canadians by accelerating the development, adoption and effective use of innovative digital health solutions.

Canada Health Infoway is also working with Health Canada, the provinces and territories, and industry stakeholders to operate and maintain PrescribeIT, a national service that enables prescribers to electronically transmit a prescription to a patient's pharmacy of choice.

This service is already reducing the use of paper prescriptions, enhancing patient safety, improving continuity of care and facilitating better health outcomes for Canadians.
