Trends such as the aging population, long wait times, rising costs, and labour shortages in health professions are notable challenges facing the sustainability of Medicare in Canada. Healthcare reform, especially in primary care, will ensure efficiency and equitable access to healthcare in. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as electronic health records (EHRs) will play a pivotal role in reforming and sustaining Medicare. EHRs make healthcare safer, cost efficient and more integrated, and are necessary for the wider application of ICTs in the health sector. EHRs enhance decision-making capabilities for both providers and patients, especially in managing chronic diseases. Notwithstanding the numerous advantages of EHRs, Canada is slow to adopt a nation-wide EHR system. This paper analyzed existing data to establish the factors that may help to accelerate the national implementation of electronic health records in Canada. It defined EHRs, discussed their advantages and disadvantages, and barriers to its full application. Also, it explored key strategies for accelerating EHR initiatives in Canada, and suggested action plans and time frames for doing so.

Electronic Health Record (EHR) gives the ability to share health information electronically; this can help to provide higher quality and safer care for patients. This research aims to provide a roadmap to implement the EHR in Egypt. This roadmap provides detailed steps to construct the EHR nationwide network. Designing the proposed roadmap used the experiences of countries which successfully implemented EHR, previous experiments in Egypt and the views of health service partners in Egypt. Also, all barriers faced EHR implementation general and especially in Egypt collected and studied to give the feasibility of the proposed roadmap. The most important steps in the proposed roadmap are: overcome time barrier, take practical steps towards the confidentiality and privacy of EHR data, overcome reasons of potential resistance of actors then preparation of feasibility studies.
