In Quebec there has been a very strong movement toward what we call integrated care or chronic disease management, where the patient not only navigates through a fragmented health care system but through a team. In order for that team to be functional, everything needs to be electronic, because it's going to include the physician, the case manager, nurses, pharmacists, etc. By definition, as a consequence of that, what you're suggesting will be implemented.
You're right that we're not there yet. We're just starting to implement it.
