In a press release issued by the Government of New Brunswick(1), Health Minister Bruce Fitch commented, "With MyHealthNB, we aim to empower patients, providing them more control over their own health-care information. We are the first province in Canada to allow our residents to create their own patient summary and decide when and with whom to share it."
New Brunswick's ~800,000 citizens can now log into the MyHealthNB app or web portal and access the new Patient Summary, cumulating approximately 12 months of health records including immunizations, lab results, diagnostic imaging, dispensed medications, and more.
