=== '''Context''' ===
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) needs effective and efficient means to provision digital data services to Canadians. These means must provide opportunities to achieve parity across jurisdictions, timely and transparent public health reporting to all communities, and gain a foothold in international circles. To date, however, PHAC has thus far operated in a context that is limited by technology choices and influenced by external stakeholders’ risk appetite, reducing opportunities for innovation.

These activities are occurring while defining the new relationship between PHAC’s Corporate Data Surveillance Branch and HC’s Digital Transformation Branch, borne out of the context of the '''Memorandum of Agreement,''' signed in June 2022, providing increased autonomy in technologist (IT) hiring and technology direction for the Agency.

Recognizing the space that PHAC occupies within the public health ecosystem nationally and reflecting on the difficulty of aggregating like-data for critical public services, the Agency is looking to establish a standards-based approach to health system interoperability and is working on strengthening partnerships with key players across jurisdictions to enable this change.
