    Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) established CFDIR in 2020, in part to support Canada’s National Strategy for Critical Infrastructure. Under this strategy, ISED is the lead federal department for the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) critical infrastructure sector. CFDIR brings together key federal partners and industry to improve digital infrastructure resiliency.

  • Standards Based Collaborative Networks: Leveraging Investments in eHealth

    IBM

    Canada has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Electronic Health Records over the last decade. A big component of that investment was implementing IT infrastructure and software that adhered to Pan Canadian Standards. New projects must now leverage these standards based software and infrastructure to accelerate time to value and lower implementation costs for new projects.

    Canada has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Electronic Health Records over the last decade. A big component of that investment was implementing IT infrastructure and software that adhered to Pan Canadian Standards. New projects must now leverage these standards based software and infrastructure to accelerate time to value and lower implementation costs for new projects.

    Specifically many new Health IT projects are focused on care coordination, collaboration, and improvements in clinical and administrative processes. Specialty Referral is a great example of where new projects are focused and also an area that could greatly benefit from building on past investments. There is no need to implement proprietary software solutions in this space. New projects can leverage existing investments in Cross Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) solutions that have been implemented across the country for Diagnostic Imaging. These solutions implement the XDS and XDS for Imaging (XDS-I) frameworks as defined by Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE). IHE has continued to build on these profiles with the addition of Cross Enterprise Document Workflow (XDW) and Cross Enterprise Basic Referral (XBeR). These profiles are ideally suited for solving the referral challenge faced by healthcare organizations in Canada.

    Through incremental investments in existing XDS based solutions, Canada can accelerate time to value for referral solutions and lower implementations costs.

    Better use of healthcare resources and access to the right information from anywhere at any time by the right person has been the “Holy Grail” quest for many healthcare organizations throughout Canada.

    Sharing of medical imaging data to optimize the use of scarce resources and increase patient safety has been a goal of the Canadian Healthcare system since the introduction of Digital Medical Imaging. The millions of dollars Canada Health Infoway invested into the system to digitize Medical Imaging has certainly moved Canada much closer to this goal. However, even with large regional implementations of Medical Imaging Systems, there is still a strong demand to continue to expand the sharing and interoperability of medical imaging systems to a provincial level and beyond so the system can operate as one provincial system. This is a daunting task, complicated by a plethora of standards and competing approaches. However, by turning to frameworks and standards that have been supported internationally, tested through a rigorous annual process, and actually implemented by commercial vendors the goal of one provincial Medical Imaging system can be achieved.
