Overview
Most healthnetBC services provide access to databases maintained by the Ministry of Health.
The healthnetBC compliance documentation available here defines who can access the data, how
the data can be used, and how to develop compliant business services.
Purpose
Software developers creating and/or testing applications that involve accessing and exchanging health information
over the internet should download the appropriate compliance documentation. You can also download test cases to ensure
your application adheres to the required standards. If your software products do not conform to these standards and tests,
you will not be able to access any healthnetBC services.
