Abstract
This IDC study reports the findings, gathered in July and August 2007, and
analysis resulting from a survey of 33 Canadian home/outpatient/ambulatory
healthcare providers. Policy makers and clinical practitioners have
acknowledged the potential of health information technology to improve the
quality and efficiency of healthcare.
According to Jan Duffy, senior healthcare analyst, IDC Canada,
"Noninstitutional providers are exposed because many facilities are lacking in
IT infrastructure, particularly those needed to support adoption and
optimization of a pan-national electronic health record. Significant investment
in robust technologies will be needed if information is to be shared across the
continuum of care."
