Greg’s Story: Digital Health and Continuity of Patient Care

Greg Price was a young man from Alberta who died in 2012 after spending much of the previous year navigating a disconnected health care system. His care providers had good intentions, but there were multiple breaks in communication that caused significant delays in treating Greg’s cancer. Greg’s father and the doctor who reviewed Greg’s case for the Alberta Health Quality Council, talk about how things might have been different for Greg if he had had electronic access to his own health information.
