The Canadian Core Data for Interoperability: Advancing a National Standard Through Collaboration
Tuesday, April 14 | 12 to 1 p.m. ET | Virtual
Interoperability is key to advancing connected care in Canada – but what does implementation look like in practice? This webinar will provide an overview of Version 2 of the Canadian Core Data for Interoperability (CACDI), a standardized set of health data elements and value sets that enable pan-Canadian data exchange.
Through a real-world example, the session will explore how CACDI standards have been implemented within an interoperability solution, including an overview of the end-to-end process. The presentation will highlight key challenges and lessons learned throughout implementation and discuss next steps for advancing connected care in Canada.
