Mental health, primary care, home care, and public health need to share information within these programs, but also throughout each of these programs, along with other care settings, government departments, and agencies.  This presentation will touch on the overlap between mental health, public health, home care, and primary care as we show the redundancy of information collected through clients’ experience with each of these programs as well as the potential lack of information sharing occurring between these programs.  Furthermore, we will address how community-based programs and the provincial EHR’s will potentially address the interoperability needs, as well as identify the gaps in which community-based programs and the regional health authorities will need to address their own interoperability gaps outside of current provincial EHR scopes.

 

Community-based programs such as mental health, primary care, home care, and public health have technologies and solutions in place to support each of the individual programs.  However, the reality is that not only is there a need to share information within these programs, but also to share information throughout each of these programs, along with other care settings, government departments, and agencies.  This presentation will touch on the overlap between mental health, public health, home care, and primary care as we show the redundancy of information collected through clients’ experience with each of these programs as well as the potential lack of information sharing occurring between these programs.  Furthermore, we will address how community-based programs and the provincial EHR’s will potentially address the interoperability needs, as well as identify the gaps in which community-based programs and the regional health authorities will need to address their own interoperability gaps outside of current provincial EHR scopes.
