EMR Program May 2013 EMR Program Start-up EMR Program Ambulatory EMR / HIS Connect EMR Upgrade 10
EMR deploy To accelerate the implementation and use of EMRs for physicians and nurse practitioners in physician offices and other care settings Community EMRs Cumulative enrolment of approximately 11,000; 5800 Ontario $99 million invested to date; $50 million Ontario Reimbursement and adoption linked to achievement of clinician enrolment clinical value (CV) 1 criteria use by clinicians upgraded functionality clinical value (CV) 2 e-prescribing 22
Primary care use of EMRs Sources: Commonwealth Fund (2006, 2009 & 2012) and National Physician Survey (2004, 2007 & 2010)
Ambulatory EMR and HIS Connect Invests in projects that deploy EMR capability in the ambulatory setting in a manner that enhances patient care by capturing clinical notes from specialists, and sharing information to and from other care settings via the EHR. Extends the value of the EHR to authorized users by integrating with systems at the point of care (HIS). Ideally this is accomplished in a manner that also supports users of the ambulatory EMR. Currently 20 (11 Ontario) approved projects across the country with 11,879 seats; 5,000 Ontario Over 1700 implemented $100 million invested to date; $41 million Ontario Projects in BC, AB, SK, MB, NL, NU, QC, ON 23

Consumer Health Solutions program The Consumer Health Solutions investment program was established to educate and empower Canadians by providing electronic access to their health information and health care services. Part of the dollars available to invest in consumer health projects will be allocated to demonstration projects: Demonstration projects will focus on specific areas that Canadians have identified as priority information needs or services. Projects will enable the testing and demonstration of how consumer health solutions can be deployed and the value associated with their use. Currently 7 (4 Ontario) approved projects across the country $7.5 million invested to date; $5 million Ontario Projects in AB, ON, QC, NS 30

E-health Future Directions Canada s Priorities
Purpose Canada has been on its national e-health journey for 10 years and is now 6 years into Vision 2015. The Infoway board felt it was an opportune time to reflect on the progress made, determine where the current direction would take the country and whether a course adjustment is required prior to any consideration for new funding. 24
