Introducing eCE Shield: Cybersecurity and privacy made easy

Protecting patient data and other sensitive information is a top priority in healthcare. Earlier this month, we were proud to officially launch eCE Shield, a national cybersecurity & privacy self-learning program designed specifically for Canadian healthcare professionals.

Certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada, this self-learning program offers 7.5 Mainpro+® credits and is dedicated to training learners to identify and report cybersecurity and privacy incidents. In addition to the self-learning online modules, eCE Shield provides monthly phishing challenges to ensure learners are staying vigilant.

Evidence2Practice Ontario adds new EMR tools to its growing suite of supports

We're happy to share that the Evidence2Practice Ontario (E2P) EMR-integrated tool for heart failure is coming very soon in OSCAR Pro: this marks the first tool from the program that will be available in TELUS PS Suite, OSCAR Pro, and Accuro QHR.

E2P continues to add more tools to its suite and is expanding to include additional conditions: we are now starting to build a tool for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

What E2P tools are available now (or coming soon) for your EMR?

If you would like to be notified when tools become available for your EMR, please sign up below!

We were excited to present alongside our partners at the Centre for Effective Practice at the recent OMD Educates: Digital Health Conference 2023.

Thanks to everyone who came to the presentation to learn more about how E2P is making it easier for clinicians to access evidence-based information at the point of care!

Join us at this year's AFHTO conference

The E2P team will also be presenting at the upcoming AFHTO (Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario) conference, and we’ll have a few other presentations at AFTHO to share more about how digital health is supporting more connected, accessible, and equitable healthcare experiences:

Our CEO, Dr. Mohamed Alarakhia, will be speaking alongside our VP of Partnerships and Clinical Innovations, Ted Alexander, and our Director of Integrated Care, Tricia Wilkerson, about key digital supports for primary care network formation in Ontario Health Teams (OHTs).
Our eCE Automates team will be co-presenting alongside East Toronto Health Partners to showcase our newest bot, Poppy – Poppy combines EMR data with neighbourhood postal code data for the purpose of stratification within the EMR to make sure that high-risk priority patients receive the care they need.

AFHTO is a one-day conference held on October 25 at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel. In addition to being a Bronze Level Sponsor for the event, the eHealth Centre of Excellence will be hosting a booth in the exhibition space. We hope to see you there!

The eHealth Centre of Excellence recognizes that tomorrow is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We will be spending time today as an organization to reflect on the history of oppression in this country and will be watching a film that demonstrates how structural racism leads to inequities in our healthcare system. We reaffirm our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and stand in solidarity and allyship with any groups experiencing prejudice.
