FACTS AND STATS

Each year in Canada, hundreds of millions of healthcare-related transactions occur. Almost all involve handwritten records, many of which are illegible. This critical information lies scattered and buried in the filing rooms and health record departments of more than 50,000 doctors' offices and clinics, and nearly 1,000 hospitals.
