Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Digital Health
  • Health Information Exchange

Background:

  • Interoperable electronic health records (iEHR) are crucial for secure health data sharing.
  • Canadian provinces/territories have implemented iEHR systems.
  • Measuring iEHR adoption is key to understanding progress and benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the adoption and use of interoperable electronic health records in Canada.
  • To understand the progress and optimize the use of digital health solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of health professional electronic data access.
  • Tracking adoption trends in Canadian iEHR systems.

Main Results:

  • In 2015, approximately 250,000 health professionals (50% of potential users) electronically accessed health data.
  • Growth in iEHR adoption is anticipated with increasing system maturity.

Conclusions:

  • Strong interest exists for health information exchange via iEHR in Canada.
  • Continued adoption growth is expected.
  • Robust data on iEHR usage is vital for strategic decision-making.
