We are pleased to announce that Infoway will be hosting its first pan-Canadian Projectathon from March 21- 23, 2022.

The focus of the first pan-Canadian Projectathon is to test and improve the quality of the pan-Canadian Patient Summary Interoperability Specifications (PS-CA Specifications) to ensure they are implementable, testable and meet expectations. The PS-CA supports several implementation patterns including MHD and a new Canadian National integration profile called CA:FeX. The CA:FeX supports saving and retrieving clinical data to and from a central FHIR repository. The CA:FeX specifications will be released alongside the PS-CA v0.2 on January 28th, 2022. For a full list of the supported profiles, please visit the Projectathon page here .

The aims of the Projectathon are to identify potential issues in the basic specifications, give implementers a chance to test their implementations in live environments, and strengthen implementation guidelines and standards in the health sector.

Infoway views this as a preliminary event before any conformity assessment, quality label or certification process.
