​​​The August 2016 report of the Hospital Information System (HIS) Renewal Advisory Panel encouraged hospitals to come together in multi-hospital clusters for the procurement, deployment and delivery of hospital information systems that support an integrated care model that puts patients first.  ​

Optimizing the benefits from HIS investments will depend on advancing maturity in three streams in tandem. 

1. Clustering

• Transitioning from individual hospital care models to quality, integrated health care delivery systems.
  

2. Clinical Adoption & Outcomes

• Transitioning from individual hospital clinical practices to use of agreed-upon provincial clinical standards and leading practices.
  

3. HIS Service Delivery

• Transitioning from individual hospital HISs to advanced HIS services acquired from a provincial HIS service.
  

​The OHA is pleased to provide access to a range of reference materials and resources, developed by the provincial HIS Renewal Implementation Task Force and the HIS Renewal Secretariat, designed to assist hospitals in their HIS Renewal journey.
