Abstract

An increasing senior population and national fiscal challenges affect the provision of healthcare in many ways. Keeping this in mind, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s recent release of the Ontario Action Plan for Health Care (2012) aims to manage scarce resources and healthcare dollars to improve the health of Ontarians while making care available to seniors closer to home. One highly viable approach to attaining such goals is through the adoption of various healthcare technologies. Computerized Physician Order Entry Systems and Telehomecare are two examples presented in this chapter that describes how health informatics can be used as a solution to policy concerns.
