TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 23, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) --
A new partnership between Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and
Canadian MedicAlert(R) Foundation will enable patients to access both
services through Sunnybrook's MyChart(TM) system.
MyChart is a way for Sunnybrook patients to set up, manage, and
access their own personal health record online. MyChart's clinical
health information comes directly from Sunnybrook's electronic
patient record system.
"We are very excited about this partnership," says Sarina Cheng,
Director Health Records Department, IS & eHealth Strategies at
Sunnybrook. "It will provide peace of mind to patients and families
as critical personal health information in their MyChart system will
now be easily accessible in an emergency situation through
MedicAlert."
"MedicAlert is body worn identification that is linked to a 24/7
emergency hotline that provides paramedics and healthcare
professionals anywhere in the world with immediate access to a
member's complete medical history," says Robert Ridge, president and
CEO of registered charity Canadian MedicAlert Foundation. "This means
that, no matter where a member is, when emergency strikes, crucial
information from their MyChart file will now be immediately available
to first responders."........
