Why is CPCSSN important?
Chronic diseases are on the rise in Canada. Research has shown that one in three Canadians has a chronic health condition, such as diabetes, hypertension and arthritis. At the same time, there is strong support in Canada to have family physicians use electronic medical records to maintain information about their patients. There has never been a better time for CPCSSN to improve the lives of Canadians living with chronic diseases. Furthermore, it is CPCSSN’s objective to help our health-care system become more sustainable.
