CorCare: Transforming Health Care in NL

Launching in spring 2026, the new CorCare health information system (HIS) will modernize the health-care system in this province.

In the largest health-care system evolution ever launched in Newfoundland and Labrador, CorCare will replace outdated digital health systems with one province-wide health information system, that will enable the collection, management, storage and transmission of electronic medical records.

CorCare will transform health-care delivery.

Keep visiting this website for more information as the project rolls out.

CorCare will:

• Optimize patient care delivery 

• Standardize clinical workflows 

• Improve interdisciplinary coordination 

• Strengthen security 

• Increase access to information 

• Reduce error rates 

1. 1. CorCare is the new province-wide health information system – It will connect all settings and services together in one information system, replacing multiple disconnected computer systems that no longer best serve clinicians, staff, and patients.
2. 2. Patients are at the heart of CorCare – CorCare will help patients become true partners in their care and help lead to better health for people in the province. A dedicated patient advisory committee has been involved every step of the way.
3. 3. CorCare is re-wiring the province for health care – Approximately 14,000 devices such as tablets, smartphones and Workstations on Wheels (WOWs) are being deployed for staff. You may already be seeing new technology in your workspace.
4. 4. CorCare gives better access to personal health information – Patients will have enhanced access to test results, chart information, and easier appointment management through MyHealthNL powered by CorCare.
5. 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. 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. 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.
8. 8. Privacy and security are priorities – Modern technology helps protect personal health information. With reduced reliance on paper records, risks of lost information, or privacy breaches diminishes.
9. 9. Expert advice is embedded in CorCare – More than 700 subject matter experts across more than 80 advisory committees and working groups, including more than 180 physicians, are involved in CorCare.
10.  10. CorCare will help improve health care in Newfoundland and Labradorians– Providing more patient features in MyHealthNL, and modern clinical workflows, CorCare will help clinicians, staff, and patients work better together.
