Who is 'Canada Health Infoway'?

Posted by Ed Montgomery on Monday October 15, @07:05PM
from the Costly EMR system dept.
I've just learned about this organization through a newsclip. Considering their website returns .aspx files, it would be safe to assume that this is an extremely expensive government 'initiative', cloaked with 'security' issues, etc. to spend billions of dollars on a windows based system, using gullible/ignorant/bought politicians. Any comments?

Here's the news article: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20071015/ehealth_071015/20071015?hub=Health And here's the glitzy site of the company selling this to the politicians: http://www.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/Home/home.aspx
