Abstract (summary)
Canada Health Infoway has been a champion for digital
health access for all Canadians since its inception in
2001. As a government funded not-for-profit
organization, Infoway works with Canadians, academics
and a variety of health care organizations across the
country to transform the delivery of health care in
Canada. While huge strides have been made towards a
digitally integrated system, Canada remains behind peer
countries in access to care and digitally-enabled services
(Infoway, 2019). In the 2017 Commonwealth Fund
ranking of health care system performance, Canada ranked ninth out of eleven countries
overall and was last in terms of access to care like same-day physician appointments and
emergency department wait times (Green, 2018). This shows that while technology is
advancing its application in health care is not keeping up.
