How better and cheaper software could save millions of dollars while improving Canada’s health-care system

Billions of Canadian tax dollars have been funnelled to private companies to develop proprietary medical software.

Key Points: 
  • Billions of Canadian tax dollars have been funnelled to private companies to develop proprietary medical software.
  • More tax dollars were then paid to the same companies to use the software to run our medical system.
  • The health system might be better prepared for these challenges if literally billions of dollars had not been squandered on proprietary software development.

Undoing waste


Although the Canadian federal government has invested over $2.1 billion developing health information technology (HIT), all 10 provinces still have their own separate HIT systems. Besides being an obvious source of redundancy and waste, these systems:

  • We chose something easy and straightforward that all the provinces needed and settled on the common billing, lab results and diagnostic imaging (BLD) functions of these separate systems.
  • Then we proposed using a free and open-source software system called HermesAPI to provide BLD for Canada.

Proprietary software vs. open source

  • Another approach that immediately eliminates that waste is called free and open source software (FOSS).
  • That last bit is the core viral idea of open source development: if anyone makes an improvement in the software, they must share it back with the community.
  • In fact, today, open source software is the dominant way to develop software in industry because it tends to be technically superior and more secure.
  • Every internet company you use, from Facebook to Amazon to Wikipedia, is built on a stack of open source software.

A better way to develop medical software

  • Our study found the cost to develop and maintain HermesAPI would be about $610,000, but would prevent $120,000 per software development company per province in development costs, for a savings of $6.4 million.
  • The real secret of open source software is that it encourages competition in capitalism.
  • FOSS prevents vendor lock-in and monopolistic companies, both of which are common with our current proprietary software model.
  • Fifteen years ago, Ontario’s Auditor General found that by implementing a unified medical records system, we could save at least $6 billion.
  • Joshua M. Pearce has received funding for research from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Mitacs, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), U.S. Department of Defense, The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
  • In addition, his past and present consulting work and research is funded by the United Nations, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, many non-profits and for-profit companies.
  • He has no direct conflicts of interests.
