The BC health information standards council1
The establishment of a British Columbia (BC) Health Information Standards Council is one of the strategies that is helping to develop and implement BCs vision for health information management. This vision is of effectively and efficiently managed information that enables informed decision making to achieve the results desired in our health system. The Council focuses on the identification of standards and guidelines that will enable, facilitate and promote effective health information sharing. This focus has resulted in approved and mandated informatics standards for use across the health system in the areas of data, applications, technology, security, confidentiality and privacy.
