Absolutely. We have a series of recommendations for what we're calling foundational elements, or elements that will support the implementation of all of our diabetes 360° targets. The first among them is a national registry or repository of data about not only who has diabetes and who doesn't have diabetes, but the kind of health care interventions they are getting. Then, ideally, it would include what lab tests they are getting, what lab results, what prescriptions they're filling at the pharmacy. When we can get an integrated perspective of the health care interventions that a patient is receiving, we can much better understand the value of each of them and where Canada can best invest its health care dollars for greatest benefit to the patients.
