Canada has a proud history of achievement in the areas of science and technology, and the field of biomanufacturing and life sciences is no exception.
The emphasis of his efforts there will be on how HIT can benefit smaller practices. According to the press release, he will focus on:
- “small practice transformation by developing innovative payment models that can better support these types of practices”
- “expanding the reach of the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Learning Network, a Brookings-Dartmouth project that provides participating organizations the tools necessary to successfully implement accountable care”
- “continuing to expand the use of secure, private, and accurate systems of electronic health record adoption and health information exchange to support better medical practice”
