Thank you, Madam Chair. We are working on that. The department and the authorities had entered into pilot projects on chronic disease management with the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation providing expert support and an evaluation framework. There is a pilot project underway right now to address some of the concerns raised by the Auditor General, and it’s taking place in Yellowknife, in Behchoko and Norman Wells, with a view to then evaluating it by this September and applying the findings more broadly throughout the system.
The other tool that we are working on that will help to address the Auditor General’s recommendations is the implementation of the electronic medical record on a system-wide basis, because the electronic medical record then does provide one place to both put reminders and clinical practice guidelines for diabetes, and then to track that those things have been addressed on a timely basis.
