Pharmacy Connection
Ontario Health is now offering patient care information to pharmacies, including laboratory results, dispensed medications, and acute care data, through one of two provincial clinical viewers (ConnectingOntario and ClinicalConnect) that are designated by region.
The viewers provide a dynamic, near real-time view of patients’ health information to support the delivery of pharmacy services such as medication management and counselling, MedsChecks, Pharmaceutical Opinions, and other patient care services at no cost to pharmacies.
With access to the clinical viewers pharmacists can make faster, more informed care decisions, and improve workflow and efficiencies at the point of care with a more complete picture of a patient’s health profile, available 24/7.
Sign up today and take advantage of Ontario Health’s new, streamlined signup process. You’ll also benefit from support every step of the way from an Ontario Health Lead who will address any questions you have and help your pharmacy complete the access requirements.
To sign up, the pharmacy’s Designated Manager or Director Liaison can complete a request on Ontario Health’s website. The College encourages all pharmacy professionals to take advantage of this great opportunity for your pharmacy to access these valuable clinical viewers, which will help pharmacists make more informed decisions and provide enhanced patient care.
Questions about the clinical viewers and sign up process can be directed to Ontario Health at oh-ds_connectingontario@ontariohealth.ca.
