two things - one - there is nothing to connect Telus Health with Infoway here other than my reading about health tech history. two, this scribe example is a good one of AI in current use, with a mixed bag of info (from what little i can find so far) on the public oversight piece of the puzzle.
there's something here about how a highly regulated profession is already used to having to pay v contextual and specific attention to take care with individual patient data. seems less clear as to how the profession is or isn't used to having to think about tech systems at the macro level.
ye olde is this or isn't this a new shape of a problem. annnd with that, good night :) (it's usually not)
Infoway has no real oversight. BC’s DMoH has not produced any reports from Infoway. The whole scheme led to duplicate work in the billions. Telus did PresribeIT for Infoway & IT strips patient agency from Rx. +20yrs & not succeeded at primary reason for funding - should take months to do.
Romanow report from 2002 gave Infoway a goal of 2010 for full interoperability of patient data. They were given another 5 years by the last Fed MoH - feeling corruption. Key document fundamentals have not been addressed. Literally few week for interoperability standards.
interesting. thank you
No problem. Would be great if the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) provided tracking for ‘EMR’ & digital tool development costs federally & provincially - I’ve asked all the right people.
