Trust and Interoperability: How ELLKAY is Connecting Canadian Healthcare

Trust and Interoperability: How ELLKAY is Connecting Canadian Healthcare

Author: John Lynn August 6, 2026 Duration: 12:29

Most people assume the Canadian healthcare system is highly coordinated because of single-payer funding. The truth is that data exchange across provinces is just as fragmented as it is in the US.

Healthcare IT Today sat down with Karen Gauthier, VP of International, and Gurpreet (GP) Singh, SVP for Interoperability Strategy & Solutions at ELLKAY, to discuss their deep roots in Canada. We cover how they help hospitals handle massive EHR transitions and why treating data as infrastructure solves major archiving headaches. You will learn the strategies for cleaning up historical records while giving clinicians easy access directly from their new systems.
