OLIS - Smart, Secure, Complete
Our hospital has joined the Ontario Laboratory Information System (OLIS).
OLIS is a secure information system that
allows health care providers (hospitals, community laboratories, public
health laboratories and practitioner) to instantly and securely share
lab results.
There are many benefits to patients:
- Timely and complete lab information will improve care
- Less duplication of lab tests
- Fewer gaps in patient information as the patient
moves between hospital, family physician, and long-term care home, for
example
- Reduced lab result wait times
At this time more than 40 laboratory
groups, in Ontario, including hospitals and private labs are sending
their data to OLIS. OLIS is a component of the Ministry of Health and
Long-Term Care’s eHealth Strategy and the creation of an
electronic health record for Ontarians.
South Huron Hospital Association is very
serious about ensuring the privacy and security of your personal health
care information. If you wish to restrict access to your information on
OLIS, please contact Service Ontario at 1-800-291-1405 (TTY
1-800-387-5559)
