Prince Edward Island has launched the MyPEI online service to allow Islanders to better access government supports such as personal health information. MyPEI Account is part of the provincial government’s initiative to modernize service delivery and the flexibility to receive information regarding personal health. MyHealthPEI is the first service offered through the MyPEI account. Additional services will be rolled out over the next 12 to 24 months, a release from the province said. “Offering a safe, secure and streamlined way to access services gives residents more control and convenience in how they interact with government,” said Minister of Finance Jill Burridge. “It is critical to us that, right from this initial MyPEI Account and MyHealthPEI launch, we are protecting people’s sensitive information with a robust verification system that meets national standards.” Initial features on the MyHealthPEI account include: “MyHealthPEI is an important step forward in modernizing how Island residents engage with their health information,” said Minister of Health and Wellness Mark McLane. “Having more convenient access to components of their personal health information will support Islanders to more easily manage their health and well-being and empower them to have more informed conversations with their health care providers. Features such as medications, expanded lab results and new self-entry tools will be introduced over the 12 to 18 months. MyHealthPEI is an additional option to access health information. Health information can still be accessed in person or over the phone. For more P.E.I. news, visit our dedicated provincial page.
