From Vision to Velocity: OntarioMD’s Digital Leap in Primary Care
TECHNATION Health is pleased to host OntarioMD for an upcoming virtual complimentary webinar on Thursday, June 26.
Over the past year, OntarioMD (OMD) has accelerated its transformation from a trusted digital health enabler to a system-level leader shaping the future of primary care in Ontario. This talk will spotlight OMD’s bold strides in AI integration, digital optimization, and strategic partnerships that are redefining how clinicians deliver care.
Key highlights include the launch of the AI Scribe Program—streamlining clinical documentation and reducing administrative burden by up to 70%—and the development of a province-wide digital marketplace through the OMD Practice Hub. We’ll explore how OMD’s strategic alignment with Ontario Health and the Ministry of Health is driving interoperability, supporting team-based care, and enabling a data-driven approach to primary care transformation.
You’ll also hear how OMD is empowering clinicians through change management, innovation labs, and a renewed focus on longitudinal care, all while maintaining its commitment to privacy, security, and physician-centered design. Whether you’re a policymaker, vendor, or healthcare provider, this session will offer a front-row view into how OntarioMD is building a digitally empowered, patient-first future.
