Most Canadians still do not have electronic medical records, and many health professionals are asking "why not?"

One-half of Canadian citizens have an electronic medical record -- meaning information stored in electronic form in one place -- but only 17 percent have an electronic health record -- one that contains all their essential health information accessible from anywhere.
