Thank you, Chair.
My first question is directed to Ms. Doig and is with respect to physician adoption of electronic technology. It does seem extraordinarily slow.
In another life I used to practise law in Ontario. We decided we would convert the entire province to electronic filing for land titles. The system went relatively smoothly, and it was arguably a far more difficult job than converting patient records and things of that nature. The lawyers' part of it was that if you wanted to practise law, you had to buy the equipment, buy the technology, go to courses, learn how to use it, and teach your staff how to use it. If you didn't want to, to practise law, too bad for you.
What I don't understand is the core resistance of the physicians, or the apparent core resistance of the physicians, to adopting this technology and embracing it and driving it, because, frankly, in the health care system, if you don't drive it through the doctors, it ain't going to happen.
If you could expand on that thought, I'd be interested.
