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.

DHI is part of the Provincial Digital Health & Information Services (PDHIS) portfolio that was formed in July 2022 to enable our BC health system more effectively digitally and virtually.

PDHIS brings together many organizational units from different parts of the company into one portfolio and includes a close partnership with the Ministry of Health to deliver on the BC Digital Health Strategy.

The Digital Health Initiative is deploying the Ocean Digital Referral platform to transform clinical referrals, orders, and consults to a standard digital platform that operates across EMRs.

Part of the Ocean Digital Referral platform is the Ocean Health Map. The Health Map is a SaaS-based GIS tool that displays clinician service providers’ locations according to their GIS coordinates.
