Transforming the Face of Health Care:
Pointing the Way towards its Future
Overview
The electronic Child Health Network is a crucial innovation that revolutionizes the sharing of patient health information among medical professionals. eCHN is Canada's first province-wide integrated electronic health record. It is a secure electronic network that enables authorized care providers across Ontario to access health information about paediatric patients, instantly, from many different sources. eCHN is operated as a non-profit, government-funded institution. It collects the data resulting from patients' interactions with the health care system and consolidates them into the form of a single medical WebChart. eCHN provides a coherent, accurate and up-to-date patient record that is available wherever and whenever needed.
Mission
eCHN is founded on the principle that up-to-date, accurate and comprehensive patient health information is vital to the process of medical decision-making. The key objective is to improve the quality of care delivered to children throughout Ontario's health facilities. eCHN is dedicated to its role as the preferred source of patient health information for Ontario's paediatric care providers.Vision
eCHN's vision for the future is that its achievement will support and advance the development of a universal health record for the province. The remarkable utility of an integrated electronic record for the paediatric population has been demonstrated. eCHN now serves as the model for how to build a larger integrated health record for the entire population of Ontario.
