That even gives rise to other questions. I don't hear any alarm bells going off about that. Should I? How is it that we're only now figuring these sorts of things out? Call me naive, but I know the Canadian Institute for Health Information has been around for a while. Is that who's doing this study, or is someone else doing it? Do we have a problem in coordination of health information throughout the country, in part because of our system? Is there something we need to do as a federal government to enhance the availability of this data? After all, it's extremely crucial to population health, if you want to use that term. How is it that CIHI is not doing this? Have we got cross-purposes going on?
