Newfoundland and Labrador Launches New Health Information System

On April 25, 2026, Newfoundland and Labrador launched a major digital health initiative called CorCare.

This province-wide system is the largest digital project in local history, aiming to modernize healthcare by replacing fragmented legacy systems with a single, unified record for every resident.

Built on the Epic platform, CorCare ensures that clinicians have real-time access to patient information regardless of the facility.

A key feature for the public is MyHealthNL, a mobile app allowing patients to view their own health records and test results.

For healthcare providers, the system streamlines workflows and improves coordination by reducing administrative burdens and preventing redundant testing.

While the rollout faced initial concerns regarding physician mandates and contractual liabilities, the province adjusted its policy to allow for flexibility, ensuring clinicians could choose alternative processes if needed.

Ultimately, CorCare acts as a cornerstone of the Health Accord NL roadmap, moving the province toward a more sustainable, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare system that prioritizes improved outcomes for everyone.
