Electronic health records will increase patient safety, reduce costs and increase access to health care services. To achieve all of this, Infoway is currently monitoring a $1.5 billion portfolio of hundreds of information technology-based projects, across 10 strategic investment programs, in collaboration with 13 provinces and territories, and thousands of individual stakeholders across the country.
