As Canada’s leading electronic healthcare solutions provider, TELUS wanted to create the nation’s most comprehensive Electronic Health Records (EHR) system. The system would give clinicians immediate and secure Web-based access to patient e-health records at any time. Canada is investing billions of dollars to build an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system that will enable healthcare providers, coast to coast, to access and update any Canadian’s health record electronically and securely. By 2016, the plan is for every Canadian to have an e-health record, containing a variety of medical documents, from doctor’s notes and diagnostic images to prescriptions and test results. TELUS Health Solutions is helping Canada “get there faster” by delivering a Health Information Access Layer (HIAL) solution that aligns with the Canada Health Infoway Blueprint and will enable every provider in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador to access DIS data. This is among the first provincial DIS systems in Canada.
