Our vision is that digital health products and systems are designed, developed and operated in a manner that is consumer-centered, safe, secure and interoperable, so that quality, trusted healthcare services and information are consistently available when and where they are needed.
The Agency's Conformance and Assurance Section undertakes conformance activities in line with its Conformance Framework, which outlines the principles and overall approach to engaging with, managing, and supporting vendors to integrate with national digital health systems and develop solutions that interact in alignment to Agency conformance requirements.
Conformance activities conducted by the Agency are designed to mitigate risks and specify the way third-party software must behave when it has a connection to enable transactions with national digital health systems.
