Electronic Health Record - Action Required

Re: Electronic Health Record – Action Required

To the Canadian Clinical Chemistry Community:

In 2001 the Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments established Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) as a federally-funded, independent, not-for-profit organization, with membership consisting of Canada's 14 federal, provincial and territorial Deputy Ministers of Health. Infoway’s objective is to accelerate the use of interoperable electronic health information systems and electronic health records (EHRs) across the country. The clinical goal is that 100% of Canadians should have an EHR by 2015. To date, approximately $1.2 billion has been invested by Infoway in this venture.
