A modular, open-source clinical information system for every province and territory — built once, owned collectively, and never subject to a foreign vendor's balance sheet.
Thirteen jurisdictions, a dozen vendors, and no shared record. A survey of how Canada actually runs its clinical information systems today, and what fragmentation costs in dollars and in care.
published 02Canada's hospitals increasingly depend on foreign-owned clinical information systems. This paper explores the strategic, financial and sovereignty risks of that dependence.
published 03Three open-source clinical platforms already run in production, at national scale, outside Canada. An assessment of OpenMRS, Bahmni, and openEHR as candidate foundations, and why Canada should extend the interoperability work Infoway has already funded rather than build from zero.
publishedA technical architecture where each jurisdiction owns a module, every module speaks CA Core+ FHIR, and no province is blocked on another's delivery schedule.
plannedA governance model for a federal-provincial-territorial consortium that can make binding technical decisions without recreating the health-transfer disputes of the last thirty years.
publishedA survey of existing open source health information systems, their capabilities, and how they could be leveraged to build a shared clinical information system for Canada.
plannedA governance model for a federal-provincial-territorial consortium that can make binding technical decisions without recreating the health-transfer disputes of the last thirty years.
plannedHow a shared-cost formula, tied to existing federal health transfers, could fund development once instead of thirteen times — and what happens to the money provinces already pay Oracle and Epic.
plannedA realistic delivery sequence: which province goes first, which module ships first, and how the system stays useful at every step rather than only at the end.
