ELECTRONIC HEALTHCARE
(a) Evidence
of public value and public risk of electronic health records should be
subject to the standards increasingly used for and expected of evidence-based
medicine, and of assessments of pharmaceuticals and medical devices;
(b) at the national level, Canada lacks an independent public accountability
mechanism for analyzing public value and public risk from electronic health
records;
(c) to the extent that, for electronic health records, the public risks are
plausible and the public values are debatable, this lack is an issue of
social justice. Click
