Electronic Health Records

Software for health authorities and hospitals

Electronic Health Records (EHR)

Provide healthcare professionals with patient information while enabling the sharing of patient health data across the continuum of care. Electronic health records (EHR) can help health teams gain efficiency.

Centralize information

Enable healthcare professionals to access a comprehensive view of patients’ medical history.

Boost collaboration

Help facilitate communication between pharmacists, physicians and other healthcare professionals as they share patient medical records across different care settings and systems.

Manage resources

Help support the efficient coordination of time, people and resources by showing relevant and timely patient information.

What composes an EHR?

Electronic health records are built out of two main components: the Health Integration Platform and the Drug Information System.

The Health integration Platform connects pharmacists, physicians and other healthcare professionals while providing access to patient information. It enables patient data to be shared between providers and across care settings.

Benefits of the Health Integration Platform

Comprehensive view of patient medical history
Information at health teams’ fingertips
Facilitation of collaboration between different healthcare settings
Efficient coordination of time, people and resources
Rapid flow of information
Connection of systems involved in EHRs, including registries, data warehouses, repositories, clinical systems and points-of-service
Delivery of messages between components and users through a standard set of interfaces

Information sharing

Sharing patient health data can be a challenge – but access to vital information can make all the difference in patient care. This means not only having applications available to electronically share critical patient information, but also a reliable infrastructure to support all of these tools.

The backbone of EHRs

Providing the functionality of the Health Information Access Layer (HIAL) as defined by Canada Health Infoway – the backbone of EHRs – the TELUS Health Integration Platform enables patient data to be shared between providers and across care settings. Key HIAL services include:

Communications
Consent and terminology
Orchestration
EHR Index

Interaction management

Architected and built by TELUS Health, the platform manages interactions between clinical systems such as pharmacy management systems, hospital information systems, physicians, and Electronic Medical Records (EMR); provincial repositories, such as drug, lab, and shared health records; and provincial registries, such as client, provider, location and user.

One set of messaging interfaces

Through a service-oriented architecture, the platform links disparate eHealth systems together so they can exchange information through one set of messaging interfaces. With this standards-based approach, the platform connects EHR domains and registries while promoting the security and privacy of patient information.

Built for flexibility

Configurable and extensible, the TELUS Health Integration Platform aims to support both current and future medical systems that benefit from being connected to EHRs, such as labs, hospitals, pharmacy management software and EMR software.
