 Interoperable EMRs are intended to assist in ensuring that PHC clinicians have timely and relevant information necessary to deliver, coordinate and administer care.Additionally, EMR information generated at the point of service can also be used to support quality improvement initiatives, such as clinical program management, research, and monitoring the health of the population, as well as to improve the efficiency of the health care system overall.CIHI led the project and achieved a major milestone in 2011 with the establishment of the "Draft Pan-Canadian Primary Health Care Electronic Medical Record Content Standard".
