Canada Health Infoway and the pan-Canadian EHR

Outline
  • Canadians expectations and the electronic health
    record (EHR)
  • The benefits of the EHR
  • Canada Health Infoways role and strategies
  • Alignment with FHP initiatives
  • Progress and Future direction

3
What Canadians expect
  • Accurate information that moves with them
  • Communication between their various health care
    providers
  • Protection of their privacy
  • Input into decisions
  • Elimination of undue risk
  • Timely access/results

4
Need to manage health information will intensify
10
Resource pressures are intensifying
  • Health care costs and personnel shortages are
    increasing
  • Improved performance management, remote access,
    and productivity gains will be needed

Care settings are shifting
Consumerism is growing
  • Care is shifting from GPs and acute care to home
    care and other alternatives in the community
  • Integration among these increasing points of care
    will be necessary as patients will pass through
    several care settings during treatment
  • Canadians are demanding a more transparent and
    timely health care system
  • Improved performance management, alternative
    access channels, and self care must be developed

Population is aging
  • The burden of chronic diseases and cancer is
    increasing as the baby boomers age
  • Lifestyle choices are also increasing the
    incidence (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular)
  • More proactive medicine (e.g., screening,
    guideline compliance) will be needed to provide
    high-quality, cost-effective treatment over
    longer care cycles

Canada Health Infoway
  • Created in 2001
  • 1.6 billion in federal funding to date
  • Independent, not-for-profit corporation
  • Equally accountable to 14 federal/provincial/terri
    torial governments
  • Matching P/T contributions account for 25 of
    eligible project costs

Mission To foster and accelerate the development
and adoption of electronic health information
systems with compatible standards and
communications technologies on a pan-Canadian
basis with tangible benefits to Canadians.
  • Goal
  • By 2010, every province and territory and the
    populations they serve will benefit from new
    health information systems that will help
    modernize their healthcare system. Further, 50
    per cent of Canadians will have their electronic
    health record readily available to their
    authorized professionals who provide their
    healthcare services.

EHR Overall benefits and value
  • Reduced wait-times for diagnostic imaging
    services
  • Improved availability of community based health
    services
  • Reduced patient travel time and cost to access
    services
  • Increased patient participation in home care

ACCESS
  • Improved interpretation of diagnostic and
    laboratory results
  • Decreased adverse drug events
  • Decreased prescription errors
  • Increased speed and accuracy in detecting
    infectious disease outbreaks

QUALITY

Alignment with FHP Initiatives
  • Infoway has reviewed and endorsed the proposed
    FHP Enterprise Architecture Plan (EAP)
  • the EAP demonstrates a very solid understanding
    of the EHRS Blueprint and necessary standards and
    that, in addition to meeting your FHP member
    organizations operational needs, it also
    provides a workable framework to leverage and
    expand upon the various jurisdictional ERH
    implementations across the country
  • The FHP strategy effectively leverages the
    current jurisdictional investment commitments
    made by Infoway with an incremental federal
    investment that is significantly less than would
    be required if developing a pan-Canadian solution
    in isolation of the other infostructures
  • The potential development of common and/or shred
    trust, security models and mechanisms to be sued
    between interconnected FHP partners will
    facilitate interoperability and ensure an
    appropriate level of privacy and security.
