Bill Detail
An Act respecting the interoperability of health information technology and to prohibit data blocking by health information technology vendors
This enactment aims, among other things, to ensure that health information technology that is licensed, sold or supplied as a service by a vendor is interoperable and to prohibit data blocking by the vendor in order to promote a connected, secure and person-centered health system.
This bill, called the Connected Care for Canadians Act, aims to make health information easier for Canadians and their healthcare providers to access and share securely. It requires health technology companies to make their systems compatible with each other (interoperable) and prohibits them from blocking access to patient data. The goal is to create a more connected, secure, and patient-focused healthcare system, improving patient safety and health outcomes, especially with the rise of virtual care.
