The state of health information technology standards: the conflation of the technical and the political in the development of a pan-Canadian electronic health record system

The convergence of political and technical challenges is demonstrated in a case study on a collaborative initiative to develop a pan-Canadian Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. It is argued that the juxtaposition of different domains, procedures, knowledge bases, and entities involved in establishing a pan-Canadian EHR has resulted in the development of a new, hybrid form of collaboration. / Cette étude de cas d'un projet collaboratif de développement d'un dossier de santé électronique (DSE) pan-canadien démontre que le déroulement de ce projet a donné lieu à une convergence d'enjeux politiques et techniques. La juxtaposition de différents domaines, procédures, bases de connaissances, et entités impliqués dans l'établissement d'un DSE pancanadien a ainsi abouti à l'élaboration d'une nouvelle forme hybride de collaboration.
