Project Details :

Digital Health Innovation (DHI) 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.

The Interoperability Program, as part of the Digital Heal Innovation Services, provide technical design and implementation services which connect healthcare care from all sources in the province and make that data available to healthcare providers in both Primary and Acute settings.

  • Technical Innovation and Research :  Provides a proving ground for technologies not yet in use across the BC health continuum. We carry out extensive and far-reaching deliverables that test use of technologies into proof a concept projects. These PoC initiatives help keep PHDIS at the forefront of technology solutions for healthcare providers by proving which technologies are capable for use and which are not.
  • Smart on FHIR Services : Delivering interoperable technologies using FHIR structured data and combining them with restful APIs. These include smart apps, data viewers, data collection and decision support.
