eHealth 2011 Conference and Interoperability Showcase

The annual eHealth Conference is Canada's premier health IT tradeshow. As in previous years the Interoperability Showcase was the central focus. Canada Health Infoway has established the pan-Canadian interoperability stanards, the software companies at the interoperability showcase implement this standard.

Delegates at eHealth 2011 have the opportunity to take a tour of the showcase and see how the pan-Canadian standards can be applied to improve health outrcomes.

This year Clarity Health Journal was introduced as part of the chronic disease scenario. Using SecureKey as a two-factor authentication and a glucometer upload for home monitoring and EMR document exchange, the scenario shows that consumers using home monitoring devices can share their health information securely with their health care teams.

Our participation at eHealth also introduced our partnerhip with iCaretech to provide vitual home visits. Our booth demonstration focused on consumer health application using Clarity Health Journal and the integration of home monitoring devices and remote image access.

My career began as a co-op student at the University of Waterloo. My first professional job was with Algoma Steel, an illustrious company in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

Call To Action, an article by Nan Brooks published in Longwoods eLetter March 1, 2012

John Ronson, Will Falk and I have been having a public debate about the future role and structure of the healthcare system. While the discussion focused on the role of the Local Health Integrated Networks (LHINs), concerns about the balance of power were also raised.

The debate surrounded the balance of power between players in the system. Options to recalibrate the authority and responsibility within the system to increase sustainability, enhance access, and maximize quality were debated, particularly as it relates to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC), the LHINS and the hospitals.

Now the Minister of Health and Long Term Care, The Honorable Deb Matthews, has started to weigh in publicly on the topic. In her recent document “Ontario’s Action Plan for Health Care: Better patient care through better value from our health care dollars” she outlined the plan to transform the health ca…
