“We look forward to innovating with our partners to improve patient outcomes by increasing telehomecare,” said Green. “We will also help clinicians increase patient safety with the development of a multi-jurisdiction e-prescribing solution to improve accuracy, reduce errors and improve patient outcomes.”
The federal government allocated $50 million over two years to Infoway in its 2016-2017 budget, tabled earlier today.
“On behalf of the patients, clinicians, governments and administrators working together to improve the health and health care of all Canadians, I extend my sincere appreciation to the government of Canada for providing the funding needed to move Canada’s digital health agenda forward,” added Green.
