What is PITO?
The Physician Information Technology Office (PITO) is an outcome of the 2006 Agreement, Appendix C (www.bcma.org), where the provincial government and the BCMA agreed to work collaboratively to "co-ordinate, facilitate and support information technology planning and implementation for physicians ... including the development and implementation in British Columbia of standardized systems of electronic medical records" (EMR).
The $107.8m project supports physicians preparing for and adopting EMRs and provides reimbursement of up to 70% of the eligible costs.
