Digital health systems need to interact with each other across all care settings so that Canadians’ health information moves with them through the system.
Since a patient’s care journey may include check ins with a family doctor, visits with specialists, trips to the emergency department, and more, everyone on a patient’s care team needs better access to a patient’s complete health care history so delays and duplications can be avoided.
Connected care, or interoperability, enables information to flow seamlessly between different solutions and devices. When different parts of the health system are interoperable with each other, they can speak the same language.
During this year's Digital Health Week, we want you to help us get the word out about the importance of a modernized health care system that is connected, equitable and accessilble.

What does connected care and improved information sharing mean for patients, clinicians and the health system?
88% of Canadians say accessing their personal health information online would enable them to better manage their health.
4 in 5 Canadians agree their health information should be electronically shared among all healthcare practitioners.
95% of physicians now use electronic tools for patient care, a significant increase compared to previous years.
Canadian Digital Health Survey
Every year, Infoway conducts a national survey to explore Canadians’ attitudes about and adoption of digital health.
Which digital health technologies are Canadians using and how do they feel about them? How have the tools increased access to care and improved Canadians’ ability to manage their health? Explore the results of our survey.
