The Care Coordination Centre at the QEII Health Sciences Centre gives healthcare teams information on bed availability, the status of diagnostic tests and procedures, wait lists, ambulance offloads and patient transfers.

The centre is the first region in Canada to have a provincewide health co-ordination centre focused on access to care.
