Connect Care

Connect Care will bridge gaps between patients, their health information, healthcare providers, and locations. It will also help to bridge current and future care. Healthcare providers can use the system to identify the decisions and approaches that best improve Albertans’ lives. By sharing knowledge, we can close gaps which ultimately lead to better outcomes and satisfaction for Albertans.

Community-based providers and clinics across Alberta need to use Connect Care Identifiers (CCIDs) when ordering laboratory tests, diagnostic imaging, and other interventions.
