Jason says, "Ask for all your health records."
Written testimony
Ask for all your health records. Ask for all information. Keep it centralized. Keep it in one place because if the patient isn’t doing it then it’s not going to go through on the provider side, unfortunately. I’m very critical about how the provinces have gone about determining how health records are stored and how communication happens between providers. It feels very much like it is stuck with like late ’90s technologies within like a 1970s political economy where like records are stored locally at clinics. It’s very messed up.
