Ca: Changes to Alberta's health record system may cause loss of patient privacy, doctors fear

Posted on February 5, 2009 by Dissent

 

Jamie Komarnicki reports:

Personal health details may become more vulnerable if proposed changes affecting the provincewide electronic health record system go ahead, according to the Alberta Medical Association.

The health bill was referred to the all-party committee for review after second reading in the legislature, said chair Fred Horne.
