Patients Before Paperwork (Pb4P) is a multi-year initiative (FY23-28), announced as part of the governments health care plan, Your Health - A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care. It aims to equip frontline healthcare providers with secure digital solutions, replacing approximately 80% of fax use across high-priority clinical workflows (e.g., lab test orders, prescribing and refills, diagnostic imaging and other specialized services referrals) by fiscal year . Pb4P focuses on making improvements to existing clinical workflows through modernizing approaches to care delivery, reducing administrative burden for frontline providers, and better connecting patients and providers to the provinces digital infrastructure, ultimately enhancing care provision for patients across the health system.
