My reasons for this change is a result of personal experience. Overly complex information can lead to information overload, with a person missing the forest for the trees. If information varies in accuracy, it is my opinion, that information also has to be evaluated. With the right information, at the right time, hopefully better decisions can be made which in turn will result in better health services and health outcomes. Feedback has been ignored with negative results.
Information comes at a cost - research takes time and money.
Privacy and confidentiality of health information must also be considered. Security of health information is another aspect for consideration. The Canadian health care system is only one factor that affects a person's health and well-being. Canada's restructure and reform of its health care system into a wellness based system is still evolving. The other determinants of health such as income, physical environment, genetic endowment, education, lifestyle and social networks may be more significant in maintaining a complete state of physical and mental well-being.
