CanadianEMR is an authoritative and widely recognized national resource for physicians, medical office staff, healthcare planners, government organizations, and vendors of EMR systems. The Electronic Medical Record industry in Canada is still early in development: less than 30% of Canadian physicians use EMR systems in their practices as part of their day-to-day operations and care of patients. It is recognized that physician adoption and use of technology is a system enabler that will support enhanced delivery of care, reduce adverse events, and reduce unnecessary duplication of tests and investigations. The 2007 Canadian National Physician Survey revealed that 26.1% of physicians use a combination of Electronic and Paper charts as their record keeping system. Only 9.8% of physicians use Electronic Charts instead of Paper Charts. Read more on the CanadianEMR Blog.
