Canada Health Infoway recently launched a campaign with the slogan “Knowing is Better“. I have seen the TV ads and this drew me in turn to the web site.
If you are tracking progress regarding the Electronic Health (or Medical) Record you should check out this site for the promotion ideas contained therein.
I await the day where we see this community embrace concepts of collaboration more formally – the Record is necessary but not sufficient. Collaboration in the system – across health care providers and groups is essential in making the system more effective and efficient.

In fact I think that we’ve attacked the problem backwards. If you look at process improvements in manufacturing, they focussed on quality first and processes. Then they applied technology to optimize the processes, especially between suppliers and partners (eg. JIT). We have spent $$$$ building and specifying systems and standards and now find we can’t get engagement and adoption .
