eHealth in Canada
July 12, 2007
In a Canadian publication, InterGovWorld.com, there is a length article discussion the state of eHealth in Canada. eHealth is defined in broad terms to include EMRs, electronic prescribing, etc. They note that one of the government’s key goals is the “Development of a network of interoperable EHR solutions across Canada.” The article is very upbeat about the state of eHealth without going into specifics but notes that there are variation in the provinces. They also cite Australia as leading them in eHealth.
