Electronic Health Record (EHR)

The Electronic Health Record started with the provincial vision of One Patient, One Record (OPOR). This vision provides current, clinically relevant health information in a standardized manner and protects the privacy, confidentiality and security of patient information. This is accomplished through a single point of access which is available to health care professionals anytime, anywhere.  

The EHR provides authorized health professionals licensed in New Brunswick access to clinically relevant information.  

The information available to health professionals includes the following: demographic information - laboratory test results, diagnostic imaging reports, cardiology reports, medications from community pharmacies, immunizations and hospital visits.   

• access to current, relevant health information to support clinical decision making 
• single entry point to access information 
• real time access to health information, improving delivery of patient care 
• increased efficiency and improved coordination of care
