Health Infomatics
The first tentative steps to digitize patient medical files to assist physicians in providing health services has led to a multi-billion dollar industry to develop a pan-Canadian "electronic health record", with a broad spectrum of stakeholders including government, industry and patients themselves. Macleod Dixon has acted for every Regional Health Authority in the Province of Alberta in participating in the creation of the EHR and for service providers, users and health care institutions in a broad range of technology and data management projects.
Our lawyers have a tremendous depth of knowledge in health information protection, patient record digitization and management and the development of technology infrastructure in the health care field.
