To further realize our vision of A Healthier World, UHN is reimagining how we deliver patient care, clinical education, and research by unleashing the power of a new health information system (HIS) from Epic. Synapse is the project that is ushering in a new era of clinical transformation at UHN.
A single source of truth
With the new health information system (HIS) from Epic, patients and their care teams will have faster access to a single source of truth about each medical journey. Care providers and support teams will reduce the time they spend documenting and finding information, giving them more time to provider care and support.
Unleashing the power of technology
Healthcare is on the cusp of a seismic shift largely driven by technology. UHN's Clinical Transformation will be supercharged by technology in the form of a new health information system (HIS) from Epic that will implemented across UHN and enhance the myUHN Patient Portal on June 4, 2022.
Collaboration and cooperation
Large-scale transformations involve multiple stakeholders, including patients and families, frontline clinicians, corporate and technology support services, hospital leadership, and donors, to name a few. Together, through continuous and thoughtful communication, collaboration and cooperation, are reshaping the future of health care at UHN and beyond.
Why "Synapse"?
A synapse is a spark in the brain that makes it possible for us to move muscles and form memories. UHN's clinical transformation will be like rewiring our collective brain to improve communication within a patient's circle of care, and the actions we take and decisions we make when delivering patient care, clinical education, and research.
