Infoway announces e-Connect award winners

February 4, 2015


TORONTO – Canada Health Infoway has announced the recipients of the ImagineNation e-Connect Impact Challenge Adoption Awards.

Infoway announced winners in the following four categories: e-Visits, e-Request for Prescriptions Renewals or Refills, e-Reports of Services and e-Request of Services.

“The Adoption Awards recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of teams who are using digital health solutions to help deliver better healthcare to Canadians,” said Fraser Ratchford (pictured), Group Program Director, Consumer Health and Innovation at Canada Health Infoway. “Each team’s effort contributes to a more efficient and effective healthcare system.”
