News Summary

The province of Quebec is set to launch its Digital Health Record (DSN) system by May 9, 2026, after a postponement announced in October. The deployment will initially cover pilot projects in CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’Île-de-Montréal and Mauricie-et-du-Centre-du-Québec. The delay was necessary to optimize design, consolidate clinical content, and ensure a smooth transition for healthcare professionals and the public. The DSN aims to replace traditional systems with a seamless digital platform, improving care coordination and patient safety. The project’s cost is now estimated at $402 million, with $279 million already spent, and it is 76% complete.
