Quebec's digital health record sees early progress and ongoing issues

Quebec's new digital health record is showing early signs of progress about a month after launching in the Montreal and Mauricie regions, according to Santé Québec. Officials said more than 26,000 users have logged into the system and that most health services have returned to normal activity levels. The platform is part of a major technology overhaul aimed at creating a unified health record across the province. Health care workers and union representatives, however, say problems remain. Nurses in Montreal's north end report difficulties accessing some patient information, including medication records, and say it is still too soon to judge whether the system will improve care. Opposition Liberals are also calling for greater transparency as the rollout continues.
