Background:
The Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information (the Centre) is a Provincial crown agency governed by a Board of Directors and managed by a President and Chief Executive Officer. NLCHI provides quality information to health professionals, the public, researchers and health system decision-makers to enhance the health and well-being of persons in the province. Through collaboration with the health system, NLCHI supports the development of data and technical standards and provides analytic, evaluation and information management services that support health care delivery, health system management, performance measurement and monitoring, program planning, policy and decision-making and research. NLCHI’s mandate also includes the development, implementation and operation of a confidential and secure provincial electronic health record (EHR) and provincial health information systems.
NLCHI’s vision is improved health through quality health information.
On October 4, 2017, the Government announced that it was going to amalgamate the Information Technology and Telecommunications (IT&T) functions of each of the five Health Organization into the one department that would be led by the Centre, with the directive of developing, operating and managing a comprehensive and aligned information system that fully integrates and uses data and health information from all components of the health and community services system for the delivery of health care and health system planning.
