OTTAWA – All Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) medical staff will shortly be able to enter mental health data directly into military electronic health records, allowing clinicians wherever CAF members are serving to view assessments and results immediately in a secure and confidential manner. This enhancement to the Canadian Forces Health Information System will directly improve the mental health care servicemen and women receive.
This digitization effort is one of a number of initiatives aimed at improving mental health services to Canadian Armed Forces members. These enhancements support clinical best practices, prioritize mental health treatment and improve research.
