Implementation of Electronic Medical Records in Quebec Primary Care: Historical Case Study of Quebec Health Care Policy
EF 2018-19
Résumé
The use of computers for storing patient health records can greatly improve the way health care services are delivered. They can help to reduce the cost of health care and improve its quality and safety. In terms of computer based health records in family medicine clinics, Quebec lags behind the rest of Canada. The objectives of my research are to understand and explain the actions of policy makers that led to this outcome and make recommendations for more effective health policy. I will achieve these objectives by constructing a story based on government reports and interviews with policy makers. This project will make an important contribution to our understanding of policy making in Quebec and can help inform future health technology initiatives in Quebec and across Canada.
