Our Division has made it a priority to support local family doctors in switching from paper to electronic medical records in their practices. In addition to creating operational efficiencies in the office, electronic medical records help optimize patient care by tracking personal health care information over time, automatically flagging when patients are due for preventative visits or screenings, and shortening the time between tests and the receipt of results.
White Rock-South Surrey family doctors have been very receptive to electronic medical records and the many benefits they provide. Most local practices have already optimized their record-keeping by adopting an electronic system.
