Scarborough Health Network (SHN) has achieved international recognition from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) for the Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM). Following an onsite assessment earlier this month, SHN has been awarded Stage 7 designation—the highest level possible for excellence and leadership in the use of electronic medical records to support patient care and improve outcomes.

By achieving HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7, SHN not only joins a select group of leading Canadian healthcare organizations but also becomes among the first in Ontario to attain this designation across a large, multi-site hospital system.

“SHN has always been committed to advancing digital health and leveraging digital tools and platforms, such as our Epic clinical information system. So, this achievement reflects our many years of deliberate strategic planning and disciplined execution,” said David Graham, President and CEO. “We have progressed steadily, guided by a clear vision for the use of data and technology to improve quality care and patient safety. This has included not only investing in that technology, but also building the processes and culture needed to fully realize its value.”
