Ontario hospitals using unified digital health records

December 8, 2021


Dr Ilan LengaOSHAWA, Ont. – Seven partner hospital organizations, representing 14 hospitals in Central East Ontario, have now introduced Epic – a new, digital clinical information system (CIS) that will provide a single, unified personal health record for each patient.

The new Epic CIS has gone live at Campbellford Memorial Hospital, Haliburton Highlands Health Services, Lakeridge Health, Northumberland Hills Hospital, Peterborough Regional Health Centre, Ross Memorial Hospital, and Scarborough Health Network. This collaboration represents the largest number of individual organizations joining together on Epic in Ontario and will transform the way healthcare is delivered for generations to come.

“Epic is a gamechanger for Central East Ontario,” said Dr. Ilan Lenga (pictured), CIO and chief medical information officer at Lakeridge Health, who is also leading the regional Epic team. “It will vastly improve the way we deliver care across Central East Ontario for generations to come.”

Epic will provide healthcare teams with the tools they need to better collaborate across the region and enable them to make the best possible decisions about an individual’s care and treatment. In addition, there will be increased access to real-time information that will help to improve patient outcomes, and access to standardized tools and processes that will reduce duplication, streamline processes, and improve results.

The launch of Epic also includes a new MyChart Central East Ontario patient portal that is integrated with the Epic system. This free, secure, online portal will allow patients to access their medical records and personal health information. As of December 3, patients could register for the new MyChart patient portal by visiting mychart.ourepic.ca.

“As our teams transition to this faster, safer, and better way to deliver care, patients and families may initially notice longer than usual wait times and some processes that are done differently,” explains Dr. Lenga. “We appreciate our community’s patience and understanding as our teams make this important change to serve them better.”

Epic is one of the world’s largest electronic health records software companies. Their best-in-class clinical information system has been adopted by hundreds of leading hospitals in North America and Europe, including the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, The Ottawa Hospital, SickKids, and others.
