The Power of Enterprise Content Management:

Delivering the Complete EHR across the Hospital North York General Hospital (NYGH), one of three hospitals in Canada to achieve Stage 6 of the HIMSS Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Adoption Model, is not resting on its laurels. The Hospital is striving to attain Stage 7 and operate in a paperless environment. Deployment of health care IT has been instrumental not only in achieving this goal, but also in providing exceptional patientcentered care.

The journey to Stage 6 began with its implementation of the Cerner Millennium PowerChart EMR and was accelerated by its multi-year, multi-phase hospital-wide clinical transformation project, eCare. “NYGH is recognized as a leader within the Canadian hospital landscape in using innovation and health care IT to improve patient safety, quality of care and patient outcomes,” said Akeela Jamal, manager of health records. “Despite this milestone, we recognized that there was still a gap in our EMR: There was still plenty of paper, and we wanted a system to bridge that gap.”
