Connect to the More Patient Information
EMRs are connecting to more sources of patient information in Ontario's digital health system. We are ready to serve you and your practice staff to connect to these digital health sources and show you how to use them.
Health Report Manager delivers medical record and diagnostic imaging reports electronically from hospitals and specialty clinics straight into your EMR. It has been recognized for its value to Canadian digital health by national health informatics leaders through multiple awards. HRM's eNotifications feature also lets you know when your patient has been discharged from the Emergency Department or admitted or discharged from in-patient unit in near real-time so you can take action if needed. HRM also delivers COVID-19 lab result notifications from OLIS.
Join thousands of physicians using HRM/eNotifications today to:
- Receive reports and eNotifications quickly and securely
- Save time by eliminating the handling of paper reports
- Follow up with patients faster after hospital visits, if required
OntarioMD continues to add sending facilities and report types to HRM (e.g., CAMH psychological reports, Ontario Telemedicine Network telehomecare reports).

Clinicians understand the importance of patient data and quality improvement initiatives for their practice and patient care, but are often constrained by a lack of time and resources. OntarioMD's Insights4Care (i4C) Program aims to fill this gap by offering the i4C Dashboard and i4C Advisory Service to help clinicians make practice improvements and unlock the value of their EMR data for better patient outcomes. The Dashboard provides visual representations of high-value clinical indicators across patient rosters, at-a-glance and on one screen. The Dashboard is currently used by more than 500 physicians and is expanding across Ontario. The i4C Advisory Service is available to all users of certified EMRs, not only Dashboard users.
eConsult provides physicians and nurse practitioners with timely access to specialist advice and often eliminates the need to send patients for an in-person specialist visit. Through a private and secure web portal, requesting providers can send a specialist a clinical question about their patient and receive advice quickly and securely.
