The Alberta Provincial eHealth Strategy is an important first step to align the eHealth ecosystem under a common vision and is intended to set the direction and actionable plan for the future.

The eHealth Strategy is anchored on improving the patients journey of care, with an integrated eHealth ecosystem purpose-built to revolve around them, where patients and providers are empowered with the information and tools to enable high-quality care delivery and the achievement of better health outcomes.

To enable the eHealth Strategy, the eHealth Ecosystem Modernization program establishes the priorities to modernize Albertas digital backbone supporting key modernization programs such as Alberta Netcare, MyHealth Records and Public Health.

The eHealth Ecosystem Modernization program is a complex portfolio of projects and services involving a number of governance bodies and stakeholder groups, with multiple eHealth modernization work streams happening in parallel, including but not limited to shared services, identity management, cloud technologies, applications, repositories, data integration and messaging.
