We’re pleased to share a recent article from The Globe and Mail by Chris Hannay that explores the complex challenges of health information sharing in Canada — and highlights the collaborative efforts to address them. The piece features the IHE North American Connectathon, held in Toronto in February 2025, and proudly hosted by IHE Canada, IHE USA, Canada Health Infoway, IHE Catalyst, HIMSS, Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), and IHE International. We’re also grateful to see the voices of long-time interoperability leaders Michael Nusbaum BASc, MHSA, FHIMSS, Grahame Grieve, and Abhinav Kalra included in the story. Their insights reflect the passion and expertise driving progress in this space.
