The overall goal of the project was to develop a secure, internet-based information, exchange mechanism for the various health sector partners within Renfrew County and other stakeholders in Eastern Ontario.
A Community Health Information Network (CHIN) site allows connected and participating health care providers in an area to access patient information through a shared server via the Internet. It is a virtual private network.
Over 75 private and public health care organizations in Renfrew County including pharmacies, laboratories, Community Care Access Centres, contracted service providers and all physician offices will be connected electronically. |
