Event Overview

Advancing the Use of Health Technology to Improve Quality of Care

COVID-19 has changed everyone’s understanding of health in many ways that will impact our national community. The interplay between people, communities, and technology that govern them has forced us to rethink our approach to health care. A new holistic approach to health care enabled through digital technologies is the key to connecting Canadians with the information they need and each other.

This event is all about moving forward from responding to recovery and on to thriving. Join this exclusive event to discuss the growing adoption of digital solutions within the health sector. The next stage of data maturity involves the integration of datasets to make them interoperable and talk to each other, to improve health outcomes and promote proactive health within various agencies and departments in Canada.
