About us
What we've done
When we talk about what we've done in ehealth, we're using an all encompassing 'we'. Success is not possible without collaboration between and among eHealth Ontario and its partners. In some cases, eHealth Ontario is driving the agenda, in others, it is simply enabling the sharing of health information that allows others to improve patient safety and save lives.
Below are some examples of successful ehealth initiatives, brought to you as a result of successful collaboration among several industry partners:
Pharmacist and physicians connect
In Sault Ste. Marie, EMRxtra makes electronic medical records in doctors' offices available to local pharmacists. In this video, providers share medical records over eHealth Ontario’s secure network.

Physicians receive patient reports by email
“We decided that providing reports by e-mail from our health records department would provide an immediate benefit to our physician offices, because the manual processes were so time consuming.”
(Dr. Bart Steele, Nation River Health Group)

helps health care providers make the best treatment decision based on information available across the network, and allows for better follow-up care.”
