In 2008, we began the process of implementing an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) System. The system, which is now fully functional, includes interfaced lab results and full scanning capabilities. The reliable EMR chosen by the group is the MD Physicians Services (formerly Practice Solutions Software), a Canadian company based in Ontario.

Better patient care and better provision of medical services to patients were key drivers of change. To meet patient care needs, physicians wanted timely electronic delivery of test results, computerized data trends and tables, to assist in decision making, and enhanced electronic prescribing. We aim to putting our patients first.

All LifeLabs generated lab results are interfaced electronically into the records at the Aurora-Newmarket FHT. This provides you with the fastest access to test results.

Collaboration amongst the Physicans and the Allied Health Professionals has been enhanced with the use of our EMR. Access to the latest information regarding your confidential information is more accurate and accessible.

Scheduling appointments, follow ups, and communication between all providers at the Aurora-Newmarket FHT has been improved with the use of our EMR.

Patients of Aurora-Newmarket FHT are quick to realize the benefits of this implementation of this system.
