The challenge is that we have different systems that are not talking to each other as we speak right now. The solutions, I think, will need to be adapted to regions and locales to be effective. I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all solution here. I'm trying to think here of my own practice, when I had one, and using my EMRs. I actually had a clerk do the ordering of some of the things that I was doing, and the way the system was working, I think it might be quite difficult. There really is a need to have conversations at the regional level to see what could be farmed out to individuals to provide that clerical help, as Mr. Guest has mentioned. It's difficult to have one solution, unless Dr. Smart or Dr. Bouchard are aware of any one solution to help with this.
