is an acronym for Electronic Patient Record. The EHR or EPR are designed as a secure ‘cradle to grave' record of the patient's medical history. It addresses all aspects of what was previously recorded on paper and/or film, microfiche, etc. As these records are stored electronically they can be easily distributed to those health care professionals who have a ‘need to know' this information. Digital has assisted our Clients with not only integrating these records but doing so in a manner which will conform to provincial/state and federal legislation. We are often requested to make recommendations or provide solutions to the areas of liability, security, interoperability and training.

Extended Product Responsibility. EPR addresses what many regard as the weakest link in the product responsibility chain - the final disposal of products after their sale and use by consumers. Under EPR, the responsibility for post-consumer products is extended to the producer of the product - a responsibility that has been traditionally held by municipalities and taxpayers. EPR embodies the principle that manufacturers of products should bare a significant degree of responsibility for the environmental impact of their products throughout the products' life cycle - including upstream impacts inherent in the selection of materials for the products, impacts from the manufacturers' production itself and downstream impacts from the use and disposal of the products. EPR is the basis for a new generation of pollution prevention policies that focus on the product instead of the production facility. (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
