Introducing CA:FeX v2.0.0 DFT - Advancing Interoperability in Canada!
Canada is transitioning towards a person-centric model of care in response to increasing calls by patients and their care teams to have ready access to the right health data, at the right time, in the most effective care-setting for quality health care. An aging population with increasingly complex healthcare needs, emerging public health risks and the continued growth of electronic clinical documentation are all driving the need to be able to exchange detailed health data between digital health solutions, ensuring these solutions “speak the same language”.

What's Next
In support of the provinces and territories, Canada Health Infoway (“Infoway”) is facilitating a national, collaborative effort to advance interoperability which includes the creation and evolution of CA:FeX, as part of the Shared Pan-Canadian Interoperability Roadmap.
The interoperability roadmap includes a set of strategic goals in which initiatives/programs (e.g., eReferral and eConsult) will be identified over time based on jurisdictional priorities across the country. As these initiatives/programs progress, they will naturally require various interoperability building blocks (e.g., reference architectures, data standards, trusted exchange frameworks, digital identity, patient/provider access, etc.) that will be designed and developed to enable successful implementation of the initiatives. This approach will enable the creation of core capabilities and drive the maturation of each building block over time.
