eHealth
Ontario’s health care system is undergoing substantial change. “eHealth,” the use of information technology in health care, is being recognized as both a transformational tool, and essential to the support and delivery of a quality health care system in Ontario. eHealth is a key enabler for the health care system and is a priority of the NE LHIN and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
eHealth is playing a leading role in the Ontario health care system by harnessing information technology and innovation to:
- enhance patient care,
- enhance patient safety,
- enhance access to care,
- enhance chronic disease management,
- enhance medication management.

Establishment of eHealth PMO
The growth in Provincial recognition and support of eHealth in Ontario has led the NE and NW founding partners of the Northern Ontario eHealth PMO to form two respective eHealth PMOs. With this exciting news comes the official appointment of Tamara Shewciw as the North East LHIN Chief Information Officer (CIO) and eHealth lead. Tamara will play a pivotal role in the interface between eHealth Ontario and the NE LHIN in advancing the province’s eHealth solutions and will lead the eHealth transformation in the North East.
The NE LHIN continues to build on the strong eHealth stakeholder collaboration that has been established over the past three years, and the new cross-LHIN partnerships in order to achieve improved clinical and patient outcomes for patients within the NE LHIN. A new pan-northern eHealth committee will remain be developed to align with provincial and federal priorities.
