Six healthcare organizations, including Quinte Health, have announced the launch of a new health information system across southeastern Ontario.
The system will help share electronic medical records with access to results, health histories and appointments, for 650,000 people.
It will be called “Lumeo” which was developed by the following six organizations:
- Brockville General Hospital
- Kingston Health Sciences Centre – Kingston General Hospital and Hotel Dieu sites
- Lennox and Addington County General Hospital
- Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital – Perth and Smiths Falls locations
- Providence Care including Providence Care Hospital, Providence Transitional Care Centre, Providence Manor, and over 20 community sites across the region
- Quinte Health – Belleville General Hospital, North Hastings Hospital, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital and Trenton Memorial Hospital
“This is a historic moment,” says Lumeo Regional VP Leon Goonaratne in a release.
“The launch of this new system has been years in the making, with our teams dedicating years to training and preparation. Now, they are adapting to new ways of working together and supporting one another, while continuing to deliver patient care in our communities. Their hard work, dedication, and resilience are truly commendable.”
