Our Solutions
The current project for 2018 is to implement EMR (Electronic Medical Record) systems and complete EMR training in all GHL First Nation health centres. An EMR is a digital version of a paper chart containing a patient’s medical history.
An EMR system brings the right information to the right people at the right time. It allows providers to track data over time, identify patients who are due for preventive visits and screenings, monitor patients’ vaccinations and blood pressure readings. It can integrate with various health providers such as First Nation health centres, hospitals, and Family Health Teams.
EMR Benefits:
- Accurate and complete information about a patient’s health
- Faster provision of care
- Better coordination of care
- More effective information sharing with patients and their family caregivers
