Event Description


The Province of British Columbia is transforming its health sector into a sustainable integrated care delivery system that will better empower patients and deliver improved health outcomes.

About the Event


In support of this transformation imperative, the Province is advancing a provincial Digital Health Initiative that seeks to implement a comprehensive cross-sector digital ecosystem in support of patient empowerment, care delivery, and learning. The DHI is advancing digital capabilities across the Province through a standards-based multi-vendor ecosystem that has the key goals of enhanced analytics and decision support capabilities, patient empowerment, support for team-based integrated care, and improved experience of the care team, building towards a future vision of a real-time learning health system.

The event's presenter is Dr. Douglas Kingsford, Provincial Chief Medical Information Officer, BC Ministry of Health.
