Ontario is planning to create a provincewide electronic medical record system for primary care, more than two decades after the government first embarked on what became a scandal-plagued eHealth project.
Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced Thursday that the province is starting by talking to potential vendors about what is possible.
“(It’s asking) do you have the capacity to do this work? Show us what that would look like, and how do they talk together when we have multiple systems, whether, again it’s in hospitals, in labs, in physicians’ offices,” she said.
