Clinical Viewers
Community pharmacists now have access to patient health information through one of two clinical viewers: ConnectingOntario and ClinicalConnect®.
Clinical viewers help pharmacists make faster, more informed decisions at the point of care and reduce medication-related harms.
Clinical viewers can provide pharmacists with:
- Medication histories related to publicly funded dispensed drugs, publicly funded pharmacy services, and dispensed monitored drugs
- Laboratory test orders and results, including COVID-19 test results
- Diagnostic imaging results
- Discharge summaries and other reports from acute care hospitals across the province
Accessing clinical viewers can help inform clinical decision-making, reduce medication errors, facilitate transitions in care, and support your documentation – all of which improve patient outcomes and safety.
Upon applying for access to a clinical viewer, you will be connected to an onboarding lead who will help guide you through the steps and answer any questions along the way.
ClinicalConnect® is operated by Hamilton Health Sciences while ConnectingOntario ClinicalViewer is operated by Ontario Health; therefore, the end-user requirements, terms, and conditions differ between the two. Data from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) is available in both clinical viewers.
Additional resources for clinical viewers are available below.
