Doctors of B.C. president Dr. Ahmer Karimuddin says the new system will allow practitioners to review and accept new patients online, instead of spending time filling out lengthy paperwork.

"This is actual progress. This is actual hope," he said.

Wow conservatives would never implement this as they love the inefficiencies while demanding healthcare be privatized.

Having the BCNDP in charge really has been a breath of fresh air. They have myriad issues, but for the first time in like 2 decades I'm actually happy with news from the provincial government.
