Our province here in 🇨🇦 just implemented province wide EHR for all (public funded healthcare). I find it somewhat invasive for patients.

It’s very convenient for the Docs and helps a lot clinically in many scenarios, because I can see quickly what the pts history is and that helps for care and safety. But, it is built in a way that I see more that I need sometimes (like an OD 10 yrs ago). Things that I don’t need to see if coming in for an ankle fracture… and maybe pt does not want me to see all that. Also, Nurses, pharmacist, secretaries have access with a « permit»

Just some Sunday night musings here thinking about how no one really has full privacy regarding their health now, and with these EHRs it’s getting worse, they are wanting to integrate vaccin status too 🧐
