Health Services

Canada’s health care systems are facing accelerating demand as baby boomers age and life-style illnesses increase. At the same time, the health work-force is under stress and the cost of health technology is steadily increasing.

In this environment, it is vital for Canada to develop effective preventative health management systems. The key to this is information.

Currently, Canada’s health information is stored on disparate and sometimes paper-based systems. To provide holistic health management, governments are moving towards e-health initiatives. Yet this process is fraught with challenges. How do electronic health records maintain privacy and patient/physician confidentiality? How do you integrate the paper records of community-based physicians?

CSC has the business and technology solutions to address these challenges and help Canada unlock the potential of e-health.

Having supported the UK’s move to an electronic health network, France’s adoption of a national health card and the development and maintenance of Denmark’s population registry, CSC has both the experience and capability to make a major contribution to Canada’s national health infrastructure.

Using the knowledge gained from transforming health systems around the world, and our systems integration experience in the private sector, we can enable healthcare institutions introduce and gain the benefits of centralization and automation to: increase productivity, improve the quality of care, manage cost increases, tighten health record security and empower patients.

The following case studies illustrate CSC experience in this area.
