I'm going to comment as well that in a rural or remote setting you're really limited in your ability to expend money for certain care practices. That's where cloud computing platforms can really be of great benefit right across the country. What are they? It's a means of providing a service to the health care organization without their having to pay for a full holistic package, and having it supported inside the organization. Whether that be through an electronic health record or whether it be the acute care support that we're trying to provide, you have that mechanism to work with economies of scale, and you have a number of hospitals in their own isolated environments but working across and using a cloud infrastructure platform.
I can give a number of reasons that this is a benefit, and one particularly from the neonatal intensive care setting. At the moment, we can have premature babies born in the north of Canada. Unfortunately, when these babies are born they have a very low immune system and they can develop an infection in the hospital. When they're trying to support that baby, they're usually finding out about that infection when they're quite unwell. Currently they're on the telephone to a neonatologist in an open centre. It's our goal through the platform we're building that we'll be able to watch every baby, ultimately across the country, no matter where they are. We can give them the most expert care we can through computing systems wherever they're located, and we can track when they're starting to develop certain conditions and intervene straight away.
The benefits of that cloud computing infrastructure is that you can give the maximum benefit for patient care in any health care facility across the country.
Speaking also to what the government can do, I fully endorse what Mr. Williams was saying before, about that need for holistic policy infrastructure in mechanisms like Canada Health Infoway. There's a definite role for a national holistic view.
