Electronic Records
Toronto Public Health close to go-live with Intrahealth
April 3, 2024
TORONTO – Intrahealth Systems Ltd., is highlighting the new implementation of its Profile electronic health record system with Toronto Public Health (TPH), which delivers public health programs and services, enforces public health regulations and reports to the Toronto Board of Health on public health issues. Intrahealth is in the final stages of its EHR implementation with TPH, which is expected to go live within the next few weeks.
Intrahealth was acquired earlier this year by HEALWELL AI Inc. Since that time, Intrahealth has been working on leveraging HEALWELL’s AI technology and planning new functionality such as AI powered medical co-pilot capabilities to help care providers improve operational efficiency, the company said.
Dorian Prior (pictured), president of Intrahealth commented, “We are thrilled with the continued success of Intrahealth in establishing ourselves as a premier EHR platform across Canada. Overall, Intrahealth has been strengthening its presence in the Ontario Public Health space with the most EHR systems deployed in public health units across Ontario.”
He continued, “The TPH installation comes on the back of implementing systems at two additional public health authorities in Ontario over the past year. We firmly believe that working closely with public health organizations and government bodies is not only a testament to our current success but also a key part of our future strategy in driving widespread adoption of Intrahealth’s platform, especially as we start to roll out our AI powered product enhancements.”
Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, CEO of HEALWELL added, “We are pleased to announce another customer win for our Intrahealth platform, strengthening our presence in the Province of Ontario even further. We are grateful and excited to be working with Toronto Public Health to help protect and promote the health of millions of Toronto residents and look forward to adding more value to this relationship as we roll out platform updates which include AI powered tools and functionality.”
Intrahealth was awarded the TPH contract through a competitive RFP bidding process. Intrahealth has an active pipeline of new contract opportunities, including recently responding to servicing markets such as mental health, home health and multidisciplinary specialists, which the company expects will be announced in the coming months.
Profile offers a flexible environment that allows public health units the ability to customize the platform to meet the various needs of the diverse programs they manage. In addition to the ability to tailor the provider experience, so that providers have the right information at the right time, Profile also enables public health units to manage patient privacy across a large organization.
TPH is a dynamic and integral component of Toronto’s health sector, reporting directly to the Board of Health with a vital mandate: safeguarding and enhancing the health and well-being of over three million residents. Since 1883, TPH has been at the forefront of public health initiatives, tirelessly working to prevent the spread of diseases, promote healthy living, and advocate for conditions that uplift the overall health of Toronto’s diverse population.
Utilizing advanced surveillance methods, TPH monitors the health status of communities, allowing for proactive responses to both ongoing and emerging health needs. Through the development and implementation of public policies and practices, TPH strives to enhance the health of individuals, communities, and the entire city, solidifying its role as a cornerstone in Toronto’s public health landscape.
