As noted, our presentation from Orion Health will be the focus of next week's monthly meeting (Tuesday December 1st, 11AM). Here are some updated details.
Title: Information and care coordination in support of patient transitions across continuum of care
The success or failure of care coordination across care delivery settings depends on access to comprehensive and accurate longitudinal patient record. Orion Health has deployed electronic health records systems in seven Canadian provinces, which serve as the basis for care coordination among care teams and clinicians.
The webinar will examine two care coordination case studies: a care coordination tool deployed in Ontario, and an e-Referral deployment in Alberta. Both projects build on the base architecture of the EHR including healthcare service bus; clinical data repository and clinical portal.

Dr. Chris Hobson, Chief Medical Officer at Orion Health, and
