Canadians

80 per cent of Canadians want access to their health records and other digital health solutions, such as e-booking and e-visits. Additionally, 96 per cent of Canadians think it's important the health care system make use of digital health tools and capabilities. That’s why patient-focused solutions are important to us.

Infoway consults with Canadians to learn what they want from their health system and we work with our partners to develop digital tools that will help Canadians to better manage their health, empower them to be a more active member of their care team and improve the patient experience. Through surveys and focus groups to understand your needs, and our collaboration with patient safety and consumer health organizations that help develop our priorities, Canadians help inform our actions across the country.

To further understand what Canadians want, Infoway held the Better Health Together Workshop in March 2017. Thirty-four citizen participants from across Canada came together to learn and share about digital health. Together, they created the Citizens' Vision for Better Health through Digital Solutions.

The vision realized through this Workshop was to improve the health of Canadians and to promote true and meaningful collaboration between patients, families, and their health care providers through universally-accessible, integrated digital technologies.
