Ontario Renal Network Ontario Renal Reporting Systems

Description of Services

Ontario Health provides the Ontario Renal Reporting Systems (ORRS) web application to Ontario healthcare facilities that treat patients with chronic kidney disease for the purposes of connecting these facilities when a patient transfers from one site to another. ORRS allows the new or Transferring-In Site to determine if a patient has previously been treated at a different Site (the Transferring-Out Site) and, if so, access certain PHI related to the treatment that the patient received in the past. This facilitates the care and treatment by the Transferring-In Site by, for example, avoiding duplicate testing and the requirement for the patient to repeat their health history to their new healthcare providers.
