Join us at noon on October 15th for a special one-hour webinar celebrating World Standards Day. Hear experts discuss how the emerging HL7 FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard is transforming electronic health information exchange and integration across the province.

The webinar will highlight the role standards play in supporting innovative solutions within mental health and addictions and how new consumer web applications will open up the potential for greater access to health information in Ontario.

eHealth Ontario’s Chris Pentleton and Sue Schneider will be joined by Dan Elliot from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and James Agnew from SmileCDR.

Highlights include:

• How the growing demand for the liberation of health data has led to greater consumer engagement and how Ontario is positioned to support this developing trend.
• How Canada's largest mental health hospital is using FHIR standards with service planning and records integration to enhance clinical assessment processes.
