ONE Initiative

Transforming patient care in NE Ontario

Vision: To improve the delivery of patient and family-centred care through ONE electronic health information system across northeastern Ontario.

The North Bay Regional Health Centre will go-live with Meditech Expanse on Tuesday October 29, 2019.  The first phase of the project underway is referred to as WAVE 1; it involves North Bay Regional Health Centre (NBRHC), West Parry Sound Health Centre (WPSHC) and the Sault Area Hospital (SAH).

The remaining 21 hospitals—WAVE 2—will follow.

• ONE stands for one person, one record, one system.
• The single HIS being implemented is based on common standards.
• It is being built to meet the specific needs of the north-east region.
• The transition to a single HIS benefits everyone who gives, receives or supports the delivery of care in ONE Initiative hospitals.
