The challenge as a technology provider in Canada—we operate in all jurisdictions—is that we're often faced with conflicts and very different ways to integrate, operate and abide by standards across the different jurisdictions. It is very welcoming to see, from our perspective, that there is an ability to talk about creating a national or open standard that is consistent across jurisdictions. For large providers like us, this becomes a much easier path to integration and enabling connected care systems to exchange information at scale.
We believe this is a welcome change as part of legislation that is being tabled, in Bill S-5 in particular, to create the national strategy and find how we can connect these disparate systems without having to redo things on a custom level within every province or jurisdiction.
