Electronics replacing paper at AHS facilities

Nov 4, 2019 | 6:24 AM

EDMONTON- Alberta Health Services has launched a new electronic system that will replace many paper records.

Connect Care will be introduced in waves that the health agency says will allow health-care providers a central access point to patient information, common clinical standards and best health-care practices.

AHS says more than 19,000 users, including more than 3,000 physicians, have undergone extensive training for several months.

First-wave centres — like the Stollery Children’s Hospital and the University of Alberta Hospital — will have additional staff and about 500 super-users to help staff navigate the system and troubleshoot any issues.
