Canada Health Infoway   

Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) is an independent, not-for-profit organization whose Members are Canada's 14 federal, provincial and territorial Deputy Ministers of Health. Infoway is Canada's catalyst for collaborative change to accelerate the use of electronic health information systems and electronic health records (EHRs) across the country.

Created in 2001, Infoway invests in a common, pan-Canadian framework of electronic health record systems where best practices and successful projects in one region can be shared or replicated in another. These systems are increasingly providing health care professionals with rapid access to accurate and complete patient information, enabling better decisions about treatment and diagnosis. The result will be a modernized and sustainable health care system offering improved accessibility, quality and productivity.
