Re: Apps
Canada isn't alone is wasting billions on healthcare programs. It's especially sad to see it wasted in healthcare when that money could have done so much more to help patients.

Re: Apps
@batye, there you go - I fully agree - that needs to be the focus.  We have neglected the core of healthcare - which is the delivery of care.  That's a great place to start!

Re: Apps
@mhhf1ve, "Software is not always the answer for making things seem more efficient-- esp if the end users are doctors."

I believe that is the biggest barrier to an effective system.  The EHR's have not been developed for the Doctor or the patient.  Until you build a better system that serves both, I do not believe you will have a true system; you will continue to have gaps, segmented data silos, and frustrated doctors and patients.

Re: Apps
@DHagar how I see it we need to get back to basics... where care does meant care... not a lip service... how it is this days... I do hope for a better change - aren't we all...

Re: Apps
@batye, I agree if your meaning of technology includes the data management, the stakeholders, and the industry itself.  I believe the technology is already there.  Here in the US the fragmented healthcare system has no network design and you have multiple stakeholders launching their own solutions and then there is a disconnect between one system and another.  There is no overarching network, so the vendors have built systems that meet "individual" provider interests and needs.

What it needs, and there are those in the industry advancing this, are data standards that can enable those different systems to relate to one another, stakeholders that recognize the importance of responsibly sharing that information, and an industry that treats the data as part of "care".

Re: Apps
@mhhf1ve, understand your points and they are good ones.  That's right, I have already forgotten about GoogleApps.

I believe you have the right focal point - with a centralized data exchange capability (ie Standards) like with Government payor (ie Medicare), etc.  The one common denominator there is payment - and we now have coding standards - so they can build claims data first and then core clinical data exchange.  The other key point is to allow the multiple providers, as you point out, the opportunity to "view" their patient data with their own preferences, but have a core taxonomy that links with key clinical data. 

It will take time, but it can get there!
