Project Context
The DHSO delivers provincial digital health strategies and business transformations by relentlessly focusing on the end user and the end-to-end health services journey for everyone in British Columbia.
We concentrate on the design and delivery of digital health tools and platforms to support the ongoing evolution of a connected health system and digitally enabled health care. By collaborating with all provincial health sector partners, we ensure an equitable approach to addressing health sector priorities.
While we spur innovation and change through strategic architecture for technology, it is never just about the technology, but about solving the problem.
The Connected Health System (CHS) Program is a group of complementary strategic initiatives with the goal of digitally connecting healthcare systems across British Columbia. These initiatives provide the ability for systems to transfer and securely share information within and between systems and stakeholders.
The program includes:
- Provider Portal - makes common provincial services and clinical information available to all providers (including private practice physicians and allied health specialists) without needing to embed those capabilities directly within their existing systems
- Provider/Service Directory – enables the rapid identification by location, specialty and capacity of all BC providers to speed up referral and ordering processes and ensure that reports are sent to the right places.
- Digital Referrals & Orders - Conduct a joint RFP with the New St. Paul’s project to procure a full Clinical Service Request solution covering eReferral, eConsult, eOrder (laboratory, medical imaging) and eForms.
- Report Distribution – enhance the existing model and address current issues
- Primary Care Patient Summary – enables providers to generate and share patient summaries using the Canadian PS-CA standard
- Longitudinal Record Access - Expose provincial data and information through a standardized layer of APIs including lab results, diagnostic imaging reports, alerts, allergies, medications, encounters
- IDAM - enable a single sign-on capability enabling providers to log in once to their EMR or CIS and then cascade that secure authentication to other systems without subsequent logons, in support of the initiatives above.
