What we do

GHL facilitates the implementation of eHealth solutions including EMR training and support by being the contact point for the vendor and the First Nation health centres.

Through our intuitive, web-based platform community portal, member First Nation stakeholders can access and monitor patient demographics, appointment data, staff utilization, and other vital Health Centre analytics.

GHL supports best practices for secure use of the EMR system and offers auditing tools and PHIPA compliance training.

One Client, One Record (OCOR) is an EMR-based project that has been in the works since the inception of GHL. OCOR aims to connect and integrate the community EMRs so patients across Manitoulin Island and the Northshore receive seamless care, all the while giving providers wholesome views of patient charts. The OCOR project will align with Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) legislation and Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession (OCAP) principles.

Giiwednong Health Link (GHL) facilitates a Diabetic Retinopathy Eye Scanner Sharing Program in partnership with the Indigenous Diabetes Health Circle (IDHC) to improve access to early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy in rural First Nations communities. Through this program, two retinal imaging cameras are available for use across our 14 First Nations member communities, providing a crucial tool for preventative eye care.
