EPIC: Our New Health Information System

KDH has Launched Epic!

Epic is a powerful digital health information system that uses the latest technology to securely store, organize, and access patient records while maintaining patient privacy.

Epic gives patients better access to their own health information and more seamless care from their providers:

  • With Epic’s private MyChart portal, patients can see their medical history, diagnostic test results, upcoming appointments, lists of allergies and medications, and even educational materials. Learn more about MyChart.
  • Epic gives the patient’s care team the information they need at their fingertips and is proven to reduce wait times, length of stay in hospital, and readmission.

KDH is part of the ‘Atlas Alliance’ of nine healthcare organizations in Eastern Ontario who use the Epic digital health information system. All of the hospitals in the Atlas Alliance have a seamless transition of patient information across sites, no matter where patients access care. This means that you tell your story once, and wherever you go in the network your care team is connected and ready to help!

The other members of the Atlas Alliance are –

  • Deep River and District Hospital
  • Hawkesbury and District General Hospital
  • Renfrew Victoria Hospital
  • St. Francis Memorial Hospital (Barry’s Bay)
  • The Ottawa Hospital
  • The Ottawa Hospital Academic Family Health Team
  • The University of Ottawa Heart Institute
  • Winchester District Memorial Hospital

"After three months of convalescent care at KDH, my wife and I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for all the care staff who attended to me during my stay. From the moment I arrived at the unit, I was struck by the welcoming and compassionate atmosphere. I would like to extend a special thank you to every member of the care staff for your helpfulness and kindness. You all played an important role in aiding my recovery, not just physically but also emotionally. What sets this convalescent unit apart is the genuine care and concern shown towards residents. I never once felt like just a bed number but rather an individual who was valued and respected. The encouragement given to residents to improve their health and engage in social activities also greatly enriched my experience. I made new friends and created lasting memories. I cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support. I will always remember my time there with fondness, thanks to the wonderful care staff who made it a home away from home. Thank you for everything."
