Connect Care is a fully integrated clinical information system. Nonetheless, it may depend upon other health information systems for core data while implementation progresses, launch-by-launch, across Alberta.

The (temporary) dependency may require workflows different from where Connect Care is fully deployed.
Considerations for prescribers are now linked in the Connect Care Clinician Manual:
