Alberta Health Health Information Systems Review Posted

We've previously posted about reviews contracted to Ernst and Young respecting Alberta Health Services performance and Health Information System strategy.

The second of these reports, "Review of Connect Care, Alberta Netcare and MyHealth Records: final report", is released by government for public access today:
The report recommendations will be considered by Alberta's health informatics stakeholders as the province emerges from the first wave of COVID-19 and works to reinvigorate informatics coordination on multiple fronts.

Physicians may not identify with all of the report assumptions or findings but these are matters of detail and the focus moving forward needs to be on high-level recommendations. The CMIO portfolio would welcome reflections or suggestions via cmio@ahs.ca.
