Abstract
The rapid growth of digital health and use of technology has led to an increased demand for qualified professionals in the areas of health informatics (HI) and health information management (HIM). This is reflected by the growth in the number of educational programs and graduates in these areas. However, to develop a culture of digital health innovation in Canada, the role of research needs to be critically examined. In this paper we discuss some of these issues around the relation between research and innovation, and the development of an innovation culture in health informatics, health information management and digital health in Canada. Recommendations for facilitating this development in terms of funding, granting and policy are also explored.
