Director, Regional and Vendor Engagement (West)

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