Patient Access to Personal Health Information Environmental Scan

Canada Health Infoway is committed to ensuring every Canadian has access to their personal health information (PHI) as a key step in modernizing the healthcare system, achieving Connected Care, and building a learning-based health system where patients actively contribute to their own care. Infoway recognizes that improving patient access to PHI is a critical element in creating a more integrated and patient-centric healthcare system, enabling Canadians to be active participants in their health journey. The Patient Access to Personal Health Information Environmental Scan, developed by PwC in collaboration with Infoway, provides a comprehensive environmental scan of the current state and future directions for patient access to PHI across Canada’s provinces and territories.
