A new survey by Harris/Decima shows 96% of Canadians believe it’s important to go digital with our health records.
Shelagh Maloney of Infoway says progress is being made, even among doctors.
The National Physician’s Survey came out recently, and 64% of doctors have an electronic medical record and 86% of those people surveyed say it’s important for their doctors to use digital medial records.
Those who have had experience in accessing information online have described it as being very positive.
Maloney says there are over 40,000 aps available for smart phones that people can use to monitor their health, and those numbers are growing.
