Thank you, Madam Chair.
My colleague Mr. Lobb had a good question. So I am going to continue along the same lines.
Not too long ago, when I did my chiropractic training, we weren't using the new technologies much, especially when we had to practise in real life. I would say that I am a fan of technology at home and outside work, but at work, I cannot bring myself to use technology such as the video for the nystagmus.
One of the reasons why health professionals in general do not use those technologies in their practice is the confidentiality issue. Just think of X-rays on the computer, for instance. That poses a risk of data leakage and, therefore, a confidentiality problem. I would imagine that the same goes for that video. It is part of the patient’s record. So it has to be in a secure place.
Dr. Ballagh, could you tell me what you think about that and give me an example of where you need to use new technologies more and still be very careful about the confidentiality of patients?
