In May of 2005, Keewaytinook Okimakanak in collaboration with Canada Health Infoway initiated a project to codify and document the processes and systems developed as part of the KO Telehealth implementation process and to summarize lessons learned and emerging best practices in delivering telehealth services – the use of secure videoconferencing to improve and enhance access to clinical and health education and training services – in isolated First Nations.

As Canada's largest and busiest First Nation governed telehealth network, this work anticipates widespread roll-out of Aboriginal and First Nations telehealth initiatives and supports shared objectives of improving telehealth coverage in isolated Aboriginal communities, increasing clinical utilization of telehealth services and supporting the adoption and diffusion of telehealth innovations by health service providers and First Nations and Aboriginal people in Canada.
