The OHA believes eHealth is the foundation of a modern, integrated, accessible and sustainable health care system. It is a priority of the OHA to promote effective adoption of eHealth that will support hospitals’ delivery of the best possible patient care through reduced wait times, increased patient involvement, fewer errors, better access to services and a more efficient health system.
The OHA’s eHealth efforts are managed under its Policy and Public Affairs Division and form a key piece of the OHA Strategic Plan. READ MORE
