On June 4, all UHN hospitals will start using a new system called Epic. Thank you for your patience as we make this important change!
Here is a pdf file of the information shown below.
Why is UHN using a new health information system?
- To enhance patient experience and safety
- To create a single, digital chart for each patient used across all UHN clinics and services
- To make finding patient information easier and communication among care teams more efficient and secure To use less paper
- To give patients more access to their medical information and new ways to communicate with their care team
Epic is used by many other health care organizations, including Trillium Health Partners, SickKids, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, Women’s College, the Mayo Clinic, and more.
