Implementation Process

The actual implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR) solution is primarily the responsibility of the physician's chosen EMR provider. This includes major activities such as:

• The installation of hardware and software
• Setting up of network requirements
• Integration with defined provincial systems
• Migration of data (if appropriate)
• Delivery of all necessary training

To help achieve a successful implementation, the clinic will be responsible for tasks such as:

• Completing all forms and agreements
• Reviewing and approving hardware for the new EMR solution
• Completing a privacy impact assessment
• Scheduling training for physicians and staff
• Adjusting patient load during the implementation
• Completing a thorough review of any migrated data

The Physician Office System Program (POSP) team provides support throughout the implementation process.
