Sioux Lookout Zone E-Heatlh Workshop

Sunset Suites, Sioux Lookout
The Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority (SLFNHA) invited Health Directors from across the Sioux Lookout Health Zone to come together to share and learn about e-health services and applications. The goal of the workshop was to provide direction to SLFNHA in the development of a framework to address regional e-health initiatives and support systems.
Guests from Health Canada's First Nations and Inuit Health Branch, the Local Health Integration Network 14 (LHIN 14), and health program team members worked with the First Nation Health Directors to identify issues, challenges and opportunities for developing an e-health service that addresses local and regional needs.
