eCritical Alberta
The eCritical Alberta Project is an integrated clinical information system (eCritical) and a registry (TRACER).
It's main objective is to deliver the most comprehensive, multimodal and integrated data repository of patient-specific critical care clinical information in the nation, which will present real-time information in an intuitive fashion for optimal and timely patient-specific decision making, while also enabling the creation of timely unit, zonal and provincial reports for administrative, quality improvement, education and research purposes.
