The technology would function nationwide, regardless of vendor or facility, with the aim of providing easy access to health information to patients and clinicians.
New legislation would require health information technology to be interoperable across the country, thus allowing patients and healthcare providers to access health data from different electronic medical record s.
Looking at electronic medical records in particular, Pinto and colleagues noted that interoperability would reduce medical errors, duplication of health services, and healthcare costs. In turn, it could improve medical research, healthcare innovation, and patient care. In addition, a new system will require a new data governance model in which healthcare organizations or clinicians are no longer the custodians of health information who “allow” access to patients. Instead, a patient-centered model would give individuals the ability to control their information and delegate authority to others. For instance, the Canadian Institute for Health Information’s Pan-Canadian Health Data Strategy proposal could be a promising model, said Pinto and colleagues.
