GENERAL INFORMATION

The objective of the Resource Guide is to provide the Canadian healthcare community with a comprehensive reference to firms who provide services, information and communications technology and “e” resources to the increasingly broad spectrum of what we define as the Canadian Healthcare ICT industry.

Information contained in the "Guide" is provided to us through the vehicle of structured questionnaires addressing four primary classes of resource providers:

• Application software vendors
• Technology vendors
• e-Health providers
• Consultants

The questionnaires also include the target market of the products offered; the market is identified in the following areas:

• Hospitals – Small
• Hospitals – Medium
• Hospitals – Large
• Health Regions and Authorities
• Integrated Delivery Systems
• Mental Health Facilities
• Home Care
• Community and Public Health
• Long Term and Extended Care facilities
• Assisted Living Facilities
• Physician Offices and Clinics
• Private Diagnostic Facilities
• Governments
• Vendors

We make no attempt to verify or validate the responses contained in the questionnaires. Firms, other than those who are consistent advertisers with the magazine, pay a fee for inclusion in the Resource Guide. The “Guide” is not all-inclusive in that we rely on known contacts for participation.

The Resource Guide, a perfect-bound four-colour magazine has been published annually since 1988. It is distributed to our subscriber base, and is otherwise available by direct purchase.

Healthcare Information Management & Communications Canada is consistently striving to make the Resource Guide as comprehensive as possible. We welcome any comments or suggestions from both users and participants as to how to make the "Guide" more useful.
