Dr. Robyn Tamblyn, at McGill University, runs a project called the Medical Office of the 21st Century, otherwise nicknamed MOXXI. This is a project in which they've enlisted physicians and
pharmacists into a system where, at the point of clinical encounter—that is, when the doctor is seeing the patient—they have a BlackBerry-like device, or a Palm Pilot-like device, that
provides them with menu-driven information not only about the drugs they are selecting in that encounter for the patient, but also about the drugs that were prescrib
...[+++]ed by them and other doctors to that patient and whether the patient filled those prescriptions, because that can be an important part of dialogue, to say, “Well, why not fill this?” So I would encourage this committee perhaps to invite Dr. Tamblyn to speak before you.
Le Dr Robyn Tamblyn, de l'Université McGill, mène un projet intitulé Pratiques médicales de l'avenir, PMA. Il s'agit d'un projet dans le cadre duquel on inscrit les médecins et les pharmaciens dans un système qui leur permet, au moment de la consultation, d'obtenir de l'information, à partir d'un dispositif portatif du type de BlackBerry ou de Palm Pilot, non seulement sur les médicaments qu'ils veulent prescrire aux patients, mais aussi sur les médicaments qui ont déjà été prescrits par eux et par d'autres médecins, de même que sur le renouvellement de leurs ordonnances.
