Fran Thompson continues as the Programme Director. While technology solutions are a key component, there will be a primary focus on how clinicians and administrative staff work with this technology in a way that closely aligns with and underpins the ambition for Integrated Care and other national healthcare reform priorities.
The national EHR programme represents a significant transformation in the use of technology and data to underpin effective and efficient care. This document acts as a foundation document for the definition of the national EHR Programme and for subsequent strategies, plans and business cases once the overall roadmap is defined.
Ontarians rely on primary care providers such as family doctors and nurse practitioners for their general health and well-being. Today, the majority of primary care providers use electronic medical record software to record patient information and access relevant test results and reports.
Electronic Health care records are enhancing the quality of care in community settings. They enable these caregivers to efficiently coordinate patient care. Organizations like Community Care Access Centres are using eHealth Ontario technology such as ConnectingOntario and Clinical Connect to look at patients' medical histories and ensure a smooth transition to community-based care settings. This saves time and enables the physician to help the patient recover more comfortably and quickly.

As the existence of multiple standards hampers providers from getting connected, there is a strong drive towards further standardization. The courses highlight how interoperability is an enabler for transitions of care, patient and family engagement, lab exchange, and public health.
The material also highlights the related requirements for Stage 1 and 2 Meaningful Use. While certification requires EHR-to-EHR interoperability, this does not guarantee compatibility of the interoperability standards used.
To comply with Meaningful Use, providers need to select from the available CEHRT systems and options, with the flexibility that they can mix and match certified options from different vendors to create a customized solution that is suitable for their scope of practice. The toolkit p rovides a structured process for how to evaluate and select a vendor, and important considerations when purchasing an EHR. Skip to main content. Interoperable EHR EHRs enable communication by allowing providers to share information electronically when they care for the same patients.
Interoperability is defined by both the exchange of information, and the use of the information after the exchange Exchange mechanisms range from a secure email exchange, to the full-fledged functionality of an EHR interfaced directly with other EHRs through a Health Information Exchange HIE. Use mechanisms vary too, from a ttaching received documents to patient records for viewing in the EHR, to pulling specific data elements of interest into the patients' records.
