Patient digital IAA application deadline extended
On July 16, we shared the Ministry of Health’s call to submit applications for establishing a public-facing digital identity, authentication and authorization (IAA) service for patients in Ontario’s health system.

The application deadline has been extended to August 16, 2019 at 12pm EST, and there is now an FAQ.

The Assessment phase ends in mid-October 2019.
