“Eventually, a patient’s health information will be accessible from any AHS location in the province and will move with the patient through their care journey. It will give a patient and their healthcare team a more complete picture of their health history, access to consistent information on best practices, resources at their fingertips, and the ability to communicate with patients and each other more easily.”

Once the system is fully in place, Connect Care will be available wherever AHS provides care or is responsible for a person’s record care.

AHS says it plans to complete the project by 2023.
