Epic

One Patient – One Record

Epic is the most powerful health information system in the world. CHEO adopted Epic to fulfill our promise of “one child — one record.”

In a rapidly changing world, we need the latest tools to deliver the best care for children and youth. Epic helps our physicians, nurses and health-care professionals partner with families to better understand, coordinate and customize care.

What Epic means for you

We've adopted Epic for you — the children, youth and families we serve. For you, Epic means:

• streamlined communication: you only need to tell your child's story once
• more active involvement in your child's care
• increased safety
• reduced wait times
• instant online access to parts of your health record, anytime and anywhere, via MyChart
• enhanced security and privacy

By migrating to a paperless environment, CHEO will increase efficiency and improve the quality of our care at each step along the way.
