A viewer portal called HEALTHe NL Viewer was announced today as the latest step in the development of the provincial electronic health record, HEALTHe NL.

The viewer will provide authorized health-care professionals with a single point of access to view patient information in the electronic health record.Health Minister Susan Sullivan and others made the announcement at the Central Newfoundland Regional Health Centre in Grand Falls-Windsor.

A news release notes the viewer provides health-care professionals with access to medication profiles available through the Pharmacy Network.

Over time, the viewer is expected to include other relevant clinical information including lab results, diagnostic images and select clinical records.

“Providing our health-care professionals with improved access to more comprehensive clinical information supports patient care,” Sullivan said.

“This focus has led to our province being positioned to be among the first three provinces to establish an electronic health record that captures health information from multiple sources.”

The provincial government has earmarked $18 million in 2013-14 for the ongoing development of the electronic health record. It is a collaborative initiative between the provincial government, the Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information and Canada Health Infoway.

“The HEALTHe NL Viewer makes the medication profiles available in the Pharmacy Network from community pharmacies accessible to clinicians across the health-care system, including at hospitals, long-term care facilities, community clinics and family practices,” said Mike Barron, president and CEO of the Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information.

“This enhanced access to quality health information supports timely and more informed health-care decision-making and delivery.”

Five components of the electronic health record have been implemented to date: the Picture Archiving and Communications Systems for remotely reviewing diagnostic images, a client registry to help link patient data, a provider registry, the Pharmacy Network, and the HEALTHe NL Viewer. Source
