5. CorCare provides real time patient information – All clinicians and staff in the circle of care have access to the same real-time patient health record, minimizing gaps in information.
6. Training and support is coming – Trainers are being recruited now to learn CorCare and begin training sessions in January 2026. Keep an eye out for more training details as the project evolves.
7. Go-live is scheduled for spring 2026 – CorCare will launch across the province, with on-site support to help clinicians and staff when the switch is flipped.
