Centre for Health Informatics Speaker Series: Interoperability Saves Lives!

March 20 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Interoperability Saves Lives is the first of a series of reports that focus on the importance of health data exchange or interoperability. Healthcare teams cannot function safely if they lack access to information, cannot communicate effectively, or cannot share information needed to provide quality care. Interoperability is essential for high-functioning virtual care, and indeed all health care system function.

Join us for an in-depth chat about interoperability as a systematic, comprehensive, and evidential approach to quality-based digital health services. Speaker Dr. Ewan Affleck is a Senior Medical Advisor – Health Informatics, College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta, and is the past Chief Medical Information Officer of the Northwest Territories. A nationally recognized health data expert, he pioneered the implementation of an enterprise electronic medical record system in the Northwest Territories that is unprecedented in Canada in its level of integration.
