No need to keep re-telling and explaining medical history every time you go to emergency room or see a new health care provider
Health Sciences North , along with 23 hospitals across Northeastern Ontario, will be launching a new medical record-keeping system in early June.
“Previously HSN, like most other hospitals in Northeastern Ontario, relied on paper charts and hand written notes for patient information. The new EMR will mean up-to-date patient information in one secure spot," said Christie. This system will also help prevent medical errors by providing clinicians with the information they need to make informed care decisions, said a news release from the hospital.
“Teams won’t have to repeat tests as often or ask the same questions over and over. Their care team can look at the EMR and get a sense of their health history, past treatments and procedures to develop an informed care plan. And that medical history will follow patients to any hospital they visit for care in Northeastern Ontario.”
