紐芬蘭與拉布拉多省啟用全新醫療資訊系統
Newfoundland and Labrador Launches New Health Information System
2026年4月25日，紐芬蘭與拉布拉多省（ㄋㄧㄡˇㄈㄣㄌㄢˊㄩˇㄌㄚㄅㄨˋㄌㄚㄉㄨㄛˇㄕㄥˇ）啟動了一項名為CorCare的重大數位健康計畫。
On April 25, 2026, Newfoundland and Labrador launched a major digital health initiative called CorCare.
這項全省性的系統是當地歷史上規模最大的數位專案，旨在透過以單一、統一的病歷取代分散的舊有系統，實現醫療保健現代化，為每一位居民提供服務。
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.
CorCare建立在Epic平台上，確保臨床醫生無論在哪個醫療機構，都能即時獲取患者資訊。
Built on the Epic platform, CorCare ensures that clinicians have real-time access to patient information regardless of the facility.
對大眾而言，一項關鍵功能是MyHealthNL，這是一款讓患者能查看自身健康紀錄與檢查結果的行動應用程式。
A key feature for the public is MyHealthNL, a mobile app allowing patients to view their own health records and test results.
對於醫療提供者，該系統透過減少行政負擔並防止重複檢查，簡化了工作流程並改善了協調。
For healthcare providers, the system streamlines workflows and improves coordination by reducing administrative burdens and preventing redundant testing.
為了確保平穩過渡，政府採用了分階段推進的方式，並有24/7運作的指揮中心以及受過培訓的超級用戶（ㄕㄨㄆㄜㄦㄩㄙㄜㄦ）協助員工。
To ensure a smooth transition, the government utilized a phased approach, supported by 24/7 command centers and trained super users to assist staff.
儘管推行初期面臨關於醫師強制規定與合約責任的擔憂，省政府調整了政策以允許彈性，確保臨床醫生在需要時可選擇替代流程。
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.
最終，CorCare成為「健康協定NL（ㄏㄜˊㄒㄧㄝˊ）」路線圖的基石，推動全省邁向更永續、高效且以患者為中心的醫療保健系統，優先改善每個人的醫療成果。
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.
