Back to EpisodesDoctors in Newfoundland Protest CorCare Rollout
Description
Doctors in Newfoundland and Labrador are protesting the rapid implementation of CorCare, a new electronic health system. Over 250 physicians have signed a petition, warning that the rushed launch could harm patients and drive doctors away. The system aims to replace outdated tools with a single digital record, but doctors fear it will worsen the provinces doctor shortage and cause delays. Community doctors especially want the access link delayed and clauses holding them financially liable for system breaches removed. Health officials maintain the launch is on track for April 25th, as physician shortages loom.
