OPHISWhy an EMR has to fit each province
Health Canada is the federal health department, but the delivery of health care in Canada is run by the provinces and territories. Each one has its own public health plan, so physician billing differs from one to the next. In Ontario, for example, physicians bill OHIP, and Ontario Health is the provincial agency that coordinates health care.
