Canada needs a modern, national health data architecture

We have seen immense innovation in the space of artificial intelligence. Our lack of a national health data architecture will hobble us in this internationally competitive field.

Core systems like prescribing and labs need to be electronic-only by a specific date. A hybrid model is eroding many, if not all, efficiencies, write Will Falk and Dr. Trevor Jamieson. Photograph courtesy of Pexels/Edward Jenner

Intelligent solutions are the shining stars for Canada’s health-care system

OpinionBY ANDY CANHAM
  • With a long-term plan in place by the provincial and federal governments, establishing a foundation that includes a robust data strategy with intelligent technologies will be the first step in establishing resilient health care in Canada.

  • With a long-term plan in place by the provincial and federal governments, establishing a foundation that includes a robust data strategy with intelligent technologies will be the first step in establishing resilient health care in Canada.
This broken system must end now, writes Will Falk. A recent report for Health Canada calls for regulatory changes that would force several key systems to be available digitally by April 1, 2023. We can start with three: labs, drugs, and patient record summaries.        Photograph courtesy of Pixabay

Finance Minister Bill Morneau and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pictured in 2018 with that year's budget. The 2018 budget made substantial and laudable investments in big data technologies, but lacked funds to create the data resources to support this work. This is like building an oil refinery without a well; without good data resources, even the most sophisticated scientists will not succeed, write Fahad Razak, Amol Verma, and Andreas Laupacis.

Canada's federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas-Taylor, pictured. As the holder of the purse strings, the federal government could develop such a population-based, integrated and integrative model of health care. Not a bad national health-care strategy as we head into the next election, writes ISG Senator Josée Forest-Niesing. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
