Keeping you informed on digital health: Provincial referrals and orders

Members are invited to participate in an informational webinar about the Ministry’s plans to enable province-wide digital referrals and orders. This is part of the government's broader physician-informed efforts to support system-wide interoperability of EMRs, clinical systems, and other digital health technologies (building a “connected health system”) that included a request for proposal process in which physicians played a key role.

During the 1-hour webinar, hosted by Doctors of BC, participants will:

• Hear updates on the provincial digital referrals and orders project, and the Ministry’s broader work to build a “connected health system”
• Learn how doctors have been involved
• Ask questions
• Explore potential opportunities going forward for you to engage in the design and implementation of this work
