Fifty years after MedicAlert came to Canada, the company has more than one million Canadian members and says it continues to innovate when it comes to the way medical information is stored and communicated.
Since 2005, CEO Brian Forster has guided OntarioMD, which manages eHealth Ontario’s electronic medical record (EMR) adoption program. His philosophy: If you make it fully functional, doctors will come—but we're not there yet.
Funding is now in place and work is underway on a $72-million plan to create a single electronic health record system across Toronto and the surrounding area.
