  • Abstract
    Several nations around the world are utilizing diverse methods to integrate and communicate patient information created and stored at various healthcare locations. Consequently, excellent lessons can be discovered from each other, even with the variations in some issues such as politics, geographies, population density. Recently, various nations have introduced strategies for national electronic health record (EHR) systems. This paper discusses the development of national healthcare strategies among three selected countries: Canada, Australia and England, concentrating on the electronic health record (EHR) as the main component of the healthcare infrastructure.
