Welcome to Alberta Netcare

Alberta is leading Canada in the successful implementation of a single, province-wide Electronic Health Record (EHR). Alberta Netcare is a program that encompasses all the projects, processes, products, and services that work together to make Alberta's EHR a reality. It has been developed by Alberta Health and Wellness (AHW) in cooperation and partnership with Alberta's health regions, and many other partners including the health professional colleges and associations.

 

Alberta Netcare EHR Portal is an important tool for physicians, pharmacists and other health service providers in Alberta, It improves patient care by providing up-to-date available information immediately at the point of care. Making basic patient information available to health service providers supports better care decisions and improves patient safety. Alberta Netcare EHR Portal provides access to available information at the point of care. Alberta Netcare EHR Portal is also a highly secure system that protects patient privacy and complies with the Health Information Act (HIA).

 

In 2005 the Government of Alberta set out its vision for Alberta Netcare - "that every Albertan would have an electronic health record by January 2008". Many health service providers are working to achieve this goal. More than 14,000 physicians, pharmacists and other health service providers are registered users of the Alberta Netcare EHR Portal, and that number grows every day.
