Three existing clinical viewers share a common purpose of providing health care providers with real-time access to patient health information to facilitate the delivery of clinical care:
- ConnectingOntario ClinicalViewer, operated by Ontario Health
- ClinicalConnect, operated by Hamilton Health Sciences
- electronic Child Health Network, operated by SickKids
The Challenge
Health care providers access a specific viewer, based on their location, through their hospital’s website or by launching it from within their hospital information system or electronic medical record. Because each clinical viewer is unique, the data and user experience differ from viewer to viewer. We want to provide health care providers a more consistent way to share information and access their patients’ electronic health records.
The Solution: Clinical Viewer Consolidation
Benefits of consolidating clinical viewers
- Provides a single point of access for province-wide patient information
- Eliminates duplication of provincial data
- Improves operational efficiencies
- Reduces operational costs
Request Access to Current Clinical Viewers
While we work towards the future state of one consolidated clinical viewer, health care organizations can still request access to one of the current clinical viewers by visiting these links:
- ConnectingOntario ClinicalViewer
Serves Ontario Health Central, Toronto, East and North Regions - ClinicalConnect
Serves Ontario Health West Region - electronic Child Health Network
Serves pediatric health care providers across all Ontario regions
