This year will see the provincial government spend nearly $20 million on information technology projects designed to improve Manitobans’ access to digital health care services.
Major projects include $6 million to upgrade information technology in facilities across the province, $4 million for equipment and technology for digital mammography, and $2.4 million to launch a provincial immunization management system.
“Digital services are transforming how health care is provided and these innovative solutions are being implemented across Manitoba to improve patient care,” said Health Minister Sharon Blady. “We are investing strategically in information technology to help patients and providers access the resources and information they need to make the best health decisions possible.”
