Strengthening continuity of care starts with ensuring health information can follow people across programs—and the Indigenous Diabetes Health Circle (IDHC) is taking an important step in that direction.

IDHC is an Indigenous-led not-for-profit organization dedicated to strengthening community capacity to reduce the impact of diabetes by promoting holistic wellness models.

With support from our 2025 Connected Care Innovation Grant, IDHC is onboarding new clinics into its EMR to ensure client records are managed consistently and effectively across programs. This project will improve access to health information for Indigenous communities, enhance continuity of care, and support safer care delivery by reducing the risk of errors.

At the 2025 Infoway Partnership Conference, a message that came through clearly is that a connected health system depends on trust and the responsible use of health data.

From conversations about how a national Trust Framework can strengthen confidence in and enable the scalable exchange of secure health data, to discussions on the development of a national Common Agreement designed to reduce duplication and facilitate more seamless data sharing across settings and regions. Trust emerged as a central theme throughout the conference and as foundational to the future of digital health transformation.

Speakers also reinforced a powerful idea. Data is more than numbers; it represents real people, real choices, and real care journeys. From a federal perspective on the critical role data plays in supporting patient outcomes and a sustainable health system, to insights into the Danish health data landscape, we heard how data-driven collaboration can meaningfully impact care.

Looking ahead, trust and health data will remain core themes at the 2026 Infoway Partnership Conference, as we continue to emphasize the importance of aligning policy, governance, and technical standards to enable seamless health data exchange across systems, between care teams, and most importantly, to patients.
