The Saskatchewan Health Information Network is getting a new name as the provincial government moves toward the completion of its electronic health record system.
The Treasury Board Crown corporation will now be known as eHealth Saskatchewan and be overseen by a six-member board made up of representatives from organizations including the Saskatchewan Medical Association, the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, health regions, the business community and the province.
The ultimate goal is a "one patient, one record" electronic health record system.
The government has previously estimated an electronic health record for Saskatchewan residents could be fully in place by 2013-14 at an estimated price tag of about $600 million.
