netCARE

Capital Health has unveiled netCARE, Canada's first major regional electronic health record. netCARE is a powerful new tool making health care better, faster and safer.

Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, netCARE stores health information electronically, removing the need to transfer paper records between sites. Wherever you receive treatment within the Capital Health region, authorized health care staff will have immediate real-time access to your records.

netCARE stores your personal registration information and details about tests, medications and allergies, so caregivers can quickly access more complete, up-to-date information to make the right health care decisions.

netCARE will not replace your paper records stored at Capital Health facilities where you were treated. It contains a subset of key medical information vital to your care, such as a surgeon's report or results from an operation or lab test. netCARE also links to the provincial Pharmaceutical Information Network (PIN), giving health care staff up-to-date information on your medication and allergy history.

For more information on netCARE,  call Capital Health Link at 408-LINK (408-5465).
