-Caveat Lector- From: Dan S <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.nationalpost.com/news.asp?f=990615/2726102&s2=national&s3=news - Tuesday, June 15, 1999 Pilot project will test health cards with computer chip Allison Lampert The Gazette LAVAL, Que. - This fall, hundreds of Laval residents will be able to see the date of their next doctor's appointment on their home television set. It's part of a two-year pilot project announced yesterday that will see the medical files of 800 Laval patients accessed through new, high-tech health cards that contain a computer chip. The card will also permit doctors, pharmacists and other members of the health sector to view a patient's medical history, allergies and other information. "It goes both ways," said David Cliche, a local member of the National Assembly, during a news conference yesterday on both the card and on Laval's new network of outpatient services. "It will allow us to better follow the patient, to better control their medication and to give specialists, clinical workers and doctors vital information about this patient," Mr. Cliche said. The chip provides access to a central computer where health information is stored, he explained. The user must have the card's code to access the information. Laval's regional health board will complete all technical preparations for the project during the summer and will begin testing it at the end of September. The board has already chosen the 800 participants. They were culled from the 1,200 patients who now receive treatment through Laval's outpatient-care network. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last chance to earn $5000 for your charity of choice! http://www.onelist.com Deadline for "GROW TO GIVE" is June 19.
