Despite ambitious efforts to implement Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, the level of health information exchanged across organizations and care settings in Canada is lagging, according to a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute. In “Missed Connections: The Adoption of Information Technology in Canadian Healthcare,” author Denis Protti argues that there will not be any large-scale benefits from gathering masses of health data until the information is shared among providers and institutions, such as between a family physician and a hospital.
