EMR serves as a launch pad for provincial EHR in
community-based settings
 Nearly 80% of care encounters in
Canada occurred in community settings
 EMRs enhance physicians’ practices both
clinically and administratively
 Physician eHealth Program provides
funding to community-based physicians
to accelerate EMR adoption and
meaningful use
 Physician eHealth Program’s strategy
strongly supports provincial EHR
strategy and ultimately improves health
care quality and outcomes

eHealth Ontario is progressing to achieving
our 2012 targets
Ontario now has over 7,000 physicians
participating in provincial EMR adoption
programs
Today, over 50% of Ontario’s Primary Care
Physicians are moving towards or have
already adopted EMRs within their practices
Over 6,000,000 Ontarians have physicians
participating in the EMR adoption program
Ontario is past the “tipping point” of EMR
adoption – enabling the province’s EHR
strategy

Motivating late adopters
Key strategies to drive beyond 50% of EMR adoption
 Demonstrate clear value and benefits in adopting EMRs
 Promote EMRs as the preferred “point of care” device
 Reduce / eliminate paper – automate exchanges of patient
information between other care providers / institutions
 Reduce overall complexity – simplify procuring, installing, and
operating EMRs
 Reduce switching costs – take the fear out of being “held
hostage” by any one EMR vendor
