Strategic Themes
Mission: To broaden and accelerate the adoption of technology by community-based physicians
Physician eHealth has a comprehensive strategy to support EMR Adoption

Ontario now has over 7,000 physicians participating in provincial EMR adoption programs
Today, over 50% of Ontario’s Primary Care Physicians are moving towards or have already adopted EMRs within their practices
Over 6,000,000 Ontarians have physicians participating in the EMR adoption program
Ontario is past the “tipping point” of EMR adoption – enabling the province’s EHR strategy

eHealth Ontario is progressing to achieving
our 2012 targets
Motivating late adopters
Key strategies to drive beyond 50% of EMR adoption
Demonstrate clear value and benefits in adopting EMRs
Promote EMRs as the preferred “point of care” device
Reduce / eliminate paper – automate exchanges of patient information between other care providers / institutions
Reduce overall complexity – simplify procuring, installing, and operating EMRs
Reduce switching costs – take the fear out of being “held hostage” by any one EMR vendor
