Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant (HNHB)

Local Health Integration Network (LHIN)

E-Health Quarterly update – June 2014

In the first quarter of 2014-15 there have been a number of enhancements and integrations to ClinicalConnect to better connect patients and providers throughout our LHIN and throughout South West Ontario. These enhancements include:

  • Private lab data from Provincial lab repository (OLIS) is now aggregated with existing hospital labs. This means that all lab data for a person is now available on ClinicalConnect. Previously only hospital lab data was available leaving the data from the private labs outside ClinicalConnect. The family physicians have identified this as a significant milestone for enhancement of ClinicalConnect.
  • ClinicalConnect now has hospital data from Erie St. Clair LHIN (Bluewater Health) and South West LHINs (Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance and Alexandra Marine and General Hospital) included in it.
  • ClinicalConnect now has expanded Client health information from Community Care Access Centres in both Erie St. Clair LHIN and South West LHIN
  • A patient header flag identifying Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant (HNHB) Health Links patients has been added so that if a provider accesses a file of a Health Link patient they will recognize that the patient has a coordinated care plan as part of the local Health Link.
