Services de santé de Chapleau Health Services Among Ontario Hospitals Going Digital |
||
Chapleau, ON (May 22, 2024) – Chapleau Health’s electronic medical records will be available to authorized healthcare clinicians at 23 partner hospitals throughout Northeastern Ontario, announced Dawn Morissette, CEO, Services de santé de Chapleau Health Services. The digital health upgrade will make health care delivery more efficient by reducing duplicate testing and repeating medical histories, and prevent medical errors by providing clinicians with the information they need to make informed care decisions. "A patient should only have one medical record, accessed at the right points in their healthcare journey. As our small, rural and remote hospital is highly dependent on other hospitals, for more complex testing and specialist care, knowing a patient's chart will now essentially travel with them throughout northeastern Ontario, adds an element of comfort for our providers and our patients" say Morissette. The ONE (one person, one record, one system) initiative is a northeast region-wide project to improve the delivery of health care through the creation of a single electronic health information system (HIS). The primary goal of this initiative is to enhance safe, evidence-based care through the implementation of technology such as Meditech Expanse. "June will be an exciting month, as we go live with our new system" predicts Morissette. Getting ready for this change was the work of our amazing team for over 18 months. We ask for the understanding of our patients and visitors as we get used to this new system, new software and new way of doing thing. Wait times in the Emergency Department, for the Laboratory, X-Ray and Ultrasound may be a little longer than usual, but well worth the wait! We appreciate the support and patience of our staff and patients." ONE Health Information Technology Systems hospitals are:
