Canada Health Infoway
Canada Health Infoway is an independent, federally funded, not-for-profit organization tasked with accelerating the adoption of digital health solutions, such as electronic health records, across Canada. Infoway is focused on two strategic goals:
The use of digital health solutions is intended to improve access to care for Canadians, improve the efficiency of individual health care providers and make the health care system as a whole more efficient.
According to a Canadian Medical Association Workforce Survey, 85 per cent of primary care providers have electronic medical records. As of 2018, the Government of Canada has allocated $2.45 billion to Canada Health Infoway.
Canada Health Infoway's goal is to improve the patient experience in order to improve the health of populations and unlock value for the health care system. Infoway has helped fund several types of digital health solutions, such as laboratory information systems, diagnostic imaging systems, drug information systems, registries and interoperable electronic health records.
It has been reported that electronic medical records saved $1.3 billion over six years, improved chronic disease management and improved communications amongst care providers. Electronic health records, or connected health information through digital health systems such as diagnostic imaging, medication profiles, laboratory test results and other clinical reports produces $1 billion in value for the Canadian health care system every year.
Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) collaborates with technology providers through its Vendor Innovation Program (VIP), an initiative that recognizes vendors who advance interoperability, accessibility, and innovation in Canada’s digital health landscape. The program encourages vendors to adopt national standards and contribute to enhancing patient access to their own health information.
2025 Vendor Innovation Program Winners
On April 29, 2025, Canada Health Infoway announced the winners of the 2025 Vendor Innovation Program. These vendors were selected for their efforts in supporting Infoway’s interoperability goals and enabling patients to view their own health data digitally. The program particularly acknowledges vendors integrating standards such as FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) and contributing to pan-Canadian digital health strategies.
