Healthcare 

Stronger technology foundation. Better patient outcomes.

From data governance to hybrid cloud to AI readiness, OnX helps Ontario and Canadian healthcare organizations build infrastructure, governance, and security that clinicians, administrators, regulators, and patients can trust.

Building stronger foundations for healthcare's complex challenges

Regulatory minefields. Fragmented data from decades of mergers and acquisitions. Clinical skepticism. Unclear ROI. Aging infrastructure. Each of these barriers is formidable on its own. Healthcare organizations face all of them simultaneously. But it isn't necessary to tackle everything at once. OnX helps healthcare technology leaders find practical places to start, and then use that progress to help fund what comes next.

Every patient deserves connected, consistent care. That depends on your data foundation.

Mounting patient volumes, aging infrastructure, and AI expectations are colliding with a harder reality: The governance and operational foundations that make any of it possible are still a work in progress for most Canadian healthcare organizations.

 Battle-tested at enterprise scale 

 You shouldn’t be the test case. CBTS implements AI in our own operations before we bring it to clients — so what we deliver is proven in production, not piloted on your time and budget. 

Six ways we help Canadian healthcare organizations build stronger foundations

AI & Data Solutions

AI & Data Solutions

From AI ideas to real-world impact


Data governance isn’t a project to complete. It’s a continuous discipline. We help you establish data ownership, governance guardrails, and the operating model to move from AI ambition to auditable action.

AI & Data Solutions

Cybersecurity Solutions

Cybersecurity Solutions

Defenses built for Canadian healthcare threats


Healthcare is among the most targeted sectors for ransomware and data breaches, and AI is expanding attack surface and threat speed and sophistication. The right security posture protects your systems, data, and continuity of patient care. We help you implement Zero Trust and SASE frameworks, with 24x7 SOC coverage and the expertise to recover fast.

Cybersecurity Solutions

Cloud Solutions

Cloud Solutions

Smart strategies tailored to Canadian health data


Canadian health data carries obligations U.S.-owned hyperscalers cannot fully meet. The Patriot Act and CLOUD Act create real exposure under PHIPA and provincial privacy legislation. We design hybrid, cloud-smart environments that meet Canadian data residency requirements and reduce concentration risk. Through HPE GreenLake and other OEM partnerships, we build for where you are today and what comes next.

Cloud Solutions

Application Solutions

Application Solutions

Modern clinical and administrative applications


Legacy applications carry decades of clinical logic and real risk. We help you modernize core systems, migrate to cloud-native architectures, and build new capabilities without disrupting care. We also design for the patient journey, so modernized applications support consistent, connected experiences across every point of care.

Application Solutions

Network & Infrastructure Solutions

Network & Infrastructure Solutions

Infrastructure built for AI scale and health resiliency


AI-ready infrastructure takes more than faster compute. It requires architecture that supports predictive analytics, medical imaging, and real-time decision support, while meeting the redundancy and audit standards Ontario Health and federal regulators require. We help you design, build, and operate it.

Frequently asked questions

How does OnX approach AI readiness for Canadian healthcare organizations?

Most healthcare organizations have AI ambitions but lack the governed data foundation to pursue them responsibly. The two go hand in hand: You can’t pursue AI at scale without data governance, and data governance is most valuable when it’s built with AI use cases in mind. We start with use case prioritization, scoring initiatives against clinical value, data readiness, and privacy risk, then design the operating model, governance controls, and data standards that let you scale AI responsibly without creating net-new compliance exposure. Governance isn’t a milestone you reach. It’s a continuous discipline — and Forge AI is how we help you build it that way from the start.

How do you help healthcare organizations navigate Canadian privacy obligations like PHIPA?

Canadian healthcare privacy obligations shape how we think about architecture, data management, and vendor selection for every engagement. Whether it's data residency, consent management, or cross-jurisdictional data sharing, we factor your compliance obligations into the design from day one, so you’re not retrofitting controls after the fact. Our team understands the Ontario and Canadian regulatory environment and brings that context to every project.

Can OnX support a hybrid or multi-cloud environment without replacing what we already have?

Yes, and for most Canadian healthcare organizations, that’s the right approach. Most have made significant investments in existing infrastructure and cloud relationships. We design hybrid and cloud-smart architectures that improve resilience and reduce concentration risk while keeping Canadian data residency requirements front and centre. Through our partnerships with HPE GreenLake and other OEM partners, we can evaluate private cloud and on-premises options alongside public cloud, modelling total cost of ownership across scenarios to help you make a decision grounded in your environment and risk profile. We also build for scale — so the architecture you stand up today can support the AI workloads and data volumes your organization will depend on in three to five years.

How do Ontario’s health system modernization investments affect how you engage with healthcare organizations?

The Ontario Onwards Action Plan and associated investment in health system modernization are creating real momentum, and real accountability, for organizations to demonstrate outcomes against that funding. These are fundamentally patient outcomes: access to care, continuity of the patient journey, and equity across populations and geographies. We help healthcare organizations position their technology investments to align with those priorities, building the infrastructure, data governance, and interoperability foundations that modernization funding is designed to enable. Whether you’re planning a new initiative or looking to strengthen the foundation beneath an existing one, we can help you connect the work to the outcomes that matter to your funders and your board.

How do you handle engagements where different departments or regional sites have different systems and priorities?

We see this consistently across Canadian healthcare networks, where acute care, community health, long-term care, and administrative functions often run on different systems with distinct obligations and timelines. Our approach starts with understanding that complexity, mapping it rather than flattening it, and designing solutions that serve each part of your organization within a coherent enterprise architecture built to scale. Because from the patient’s perspective, care should feel connected regardless of where they enter the system — and that requires the organizations delivering it to operate from a shared foundation.

Let’s build something that lasts.
