Question 1119-20(1): Healthcare Informatics

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to know from the Minister of Health and Social Services, as our EMR is near -- has -- I think it's nearing its end of life, if not ended its life and needs to be replaced, when does the vendor support for the current system currently end? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Member from Range Lake. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don't have that level of detail.

Thank you. Can the Minister reassure the House that as the system is now -- not counting the RFP, because that's something that's yet to come -- that the medical information and information that the health system holds is safe from cyber security risk and the health information of Northerners is going to be protected until this replacement comes in? There are concerns, Mr. Speaker. People need to know their personal data is not going to be hijacked by some ransomware or shared willy-nilly with people out there in the world. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the system is still supported and is safe. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, has -- to the reporting on health care data, has there ever been an implementation plan for NACRS data that would change our reporting relationship and ensure that we're getting things to national standards and bodies? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd have to get back to the Member on that question.
