Lower Mainland Health organizations to implement a single patient health record through clinical and systems transformation

VANCOUVER — Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), Providence Health Care (PHC), and the  Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) have successfully concluded contract negotiations  with IBM Canada to achieve the strategic vision of one clinical record per patient in our core health  service organizations in British Columbia. 

A single health record for each patient will promote high quality care by ensuring clinicians and  care teams have a greater level of accurate and consistent patient information at the touch of their  fingers. Amalgamating this information into a more comprehensive view of health trends and  treatment outcomes ensures the health organizations can better serve British Columbians. It also  enhances the ability to do even more world-class research in our own backyard.
