In this EMR Update you will find:
  • The replay of the March 11th webinar launching the EMR Program
  • A link to the EMR Program website
  • A request for your expression of interest if you plan to adopt an EMR in the next 12-months
  • Information on an early bird EMR implementation grant
  • Registration link for the March 25 webinar on the Telus Health CHR solution demonstration
Thank you to the more than 80 clinicians who joined the webinar last week to learn more about the new EMR Program and how you can get started. If you missed it, you can watch it here (passcode: 4dF9?cPW).

Now Live: EMR Program Website 
We have now launched an EMR Program website to be your source of information about the EMR Program. This website provides information on the supports in place (including the financial model), the solution and how to get started by submitting an expression of interest.
CALLING FOR EMR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
Do you want to adopt an EMR this year? Let us know.
The Telus Health Collaborative Health Record (CHR), the provincewide EMR solution, is now within clinicians' reach. 

Even though we have preparation work to do before implementation, we are already hearing lots of interest from clinicians who want to learn more about adopting. This is good news.

To help us plan, we are asking all clinicians who envision adopting the EMR within the next 12-months, to submit an expression of interest (EOI) form. This form allows the EMR Program to understand the level of interest and build their implementation plans, schedules and training teams accordingly. The form will not commit you to implementation. After submitting the form the EMR Program Team will reach out to you to understand your level of interest better, answer your questions and help you start to think about how you can prepare your practice. 

For now, the EMR solution is being offered to community-based physicians and nurse practitioners. We plan to begin implementation by August 2021, with a goal to have the majority of providers on board by March 2022.
Early Bird Implementation Grant*
The province has access to a limited-window Infoway funding that will support physicians in adopting an EMR. 
  • Enroll by May 30, 2021, to receive up to an $8,000 implementation grant
  • Enroll by September 30, 2021, to receive up to $6,000

Implementation grants are not available for those who enroll after Sept. 30.

*Your expression of interest is not considered enrollment. You will be walked through that process after you submit your EOI.
