EPIC: Our Health Information System

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

“I had surgery at KDH for a knee injury. The experience I had was like no other. The video of what to expect was superbly done and put me at ease before I arrived. The greeter was welcoming and had a great sense of humour. I could tell he really enjoyed his job! The nurse who took care of me explained everything that would happen. I shared with her my fear of IVs and she used a small needle and distracted me so I felt only a pinch. Dr. Marshall explained the procedure and what would happen. He wheeled me into surgery and the people in the OR all introduced themselves and told me what they do. After the surgery, another nurse was there when I opened my eyes and she could see I was confused so she told me it was ok to go back to sleep for a little while. Later, she made sure I was ready to go. I work in the Human Resources field, and I would love to know more about how you create a culture where everyone wants to be at work and be their best selves!”
