Will a new electronic health record save lives? alberta launches massive study
NCT ID NCT07609381
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a new province-wide electronic health record system (called Connect Care) improves outcomes for adults with chronic diseases like diabetes, heart failure, or kidney disease. Researchers will compare hospital readmission and death rates before and after the system was introduced, using data from over 124,000 patients. The goal is to see if better information sharing among healthcare providers leads to safer hospital discharges and fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a modern electronic health record system helps reduce hospital readmissions and deaths for people with chronic diseases.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it can only suggest links, not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other regions or health systems.
