Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Stream

The new EMR is here – and it’s on a roll! The Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC) EMR Project will position member centres as leaders in the use of electronic information for client care, planning and service delivery and help them align to the provincial eHealth strategy.

Over the next two years, about 85 of Ontario’s Community Health Centres (CHCs), Aboriginal Health Access Centres (AHACs) and Nurse Practitioner-led Clinics (NPLCs) will transition to Nightingale on Demand (NOD) – a provincially certified EMR system. This will be one of the largest deployment of an EMR solution in the whole of Canada.

Nightingale on Demand is:

Provincially certified
Fully bilingual
Centrally hosted

What this means for our member Centres and their clients:

“A provincial EMR licence that covers our members at a fair price is a significant achievement for the sector. It ensures our members are aligned with the provincial direction for electronic medical records, and are well positioned to benefit from current and future eHealth solutions.” - Adrianna Tetley, Executive Director, AOHC

NOD will facilitate higher quality care through improved access to a comprehensive client record by health care providers. It will enable information share that will help identify trends and improve planning at each centre and across the sector.
