The CKC does not keep track of anything to do with health records/genetic disorders etc. and it does not prevent inbreeding either. They register dogs and keep track of nothing but pedigrees and CKC titles (conformation, obedience, tracking etc.).

Individual breed clubs often keep databases like what you are referring to, but a CKC registration does not have anything to do with whether you are getting a healthy well-bred dog or not.
