Involvement in the PITO pilot project must require more time of physicians to work closely with PITO. What are the benefits for them?
The pilots are an opportunity for those physicians who are particularly keen to adopt a PITO-approved EMR to be among the first to implement. To acknowledge the additional time it will take these physicians to participate in the pilots, PITO will provide 100% funding for the EMR one-time implementations costs (EMR costs only, excludes hardware). Therefore, participating physicians will receive up to $10,000 of one-time EMR funding, instead of the usual 70% funding of up to $7,000.Vendor Selection FAQsWhy use a vendor approval process? The Electronic Medical Record (EMR) can increasingly be considered as a technological tool used for direct health care purposes (such as clinical decision support tools) and thus it is important that it passes similar rigorous reviews for factors such as safety, quality, confidentiality and robustness as are used for pharmaceutical products and medical devices. The review processes for EMRs have been slow to develop both in Canada and internationally, but
