The CCAC _ used a $240,000 investment from the federal government and donations of computer equipment to establish the network that would make communication seamless between hospitals, case managers, _ healthâ€"care workers and longâ€"term care facilities.

Called the Community Health Information Network [CHIN), the secure informaâ€" uon system registers clientâ€" related information and makes it available online to the healthâ€"care workers involved in the case. So instead of patients getting lost in the paper shulfle, the information would be availâ€" able to all those who need it at the click of a mouse. According to Kevin Merâ€" cer, the CCAC‘s executive director, it would also end the constant checking and rechecking of patient inforâ€" mation that often leaves people frustrated. €, e s pMvvize Ma it ~ "Anyone who‘s had expeâ€" rience with the healthâ€"care system knows that it‘s not unusual to be asked the Same qlll"s\i()“\ over 'dl\d over again." said Mercer. "It‘s not efficient and it certainly isnyt client friendly. "There‘s nothing worse than being sick and needing care and being constantly asked to provide the same information." By moving away from a paperâ€"based system that is both redundant and slow, Mercer said it will shift healthâ€"care workers‘ attenâ€" tion from fumbling with paperwork to client support. "The previous system was cumbersome at best." he said. "A client said to me a few years ago that she felt she had a revolving door on the front of her house, and was asked the same quesâ€" tions over and over again. "She posed the question to me, ‘Don‘t you people ever talk to one another?‘ And the truth is there is sigâ€" nificant weakness in the healthâ€"care system due to the lack of integration of communication and inforâ€" mation exchange systems." In 1998, the CCAC recogâ€" nized the paperâ€"based sysâ€" tem could be made more efficient by a oneâ€"stop porâ€" tal.

"The challenge we set for ourselves was that banks could move information around the world ... but you can‘t go online at a longâ€" term care facility and access your information," said Mercer. The model of the CHIN network came from a simiâ€" lar program in Rochester, N.Y. Representatives of the New Yorkâ€"based healthâ€"care information system described the benefits of connectivity and how to streamline the relationship between hospitals and comâ€" munity providers. "They could monitor admissions to the emerâ€" gency departments and see the kinds of problems that existed in the community," said Mercer. "They were able to act on some of those gaps in services and address some of those problems." The CHIN service is well on the way to doing the same locally, with 42 agenâ€" cies connected to the server and more than 98 per cent off the CCAC‘s service providers now securely transferring information on the network. The program is also starting a pilot project with local physicians, with Dr. Ivan Jagas‘ practice in Waterloo already connected to the service. "In any given week there are approximately 3,615 messages that are exchanged," said Mercer. "Longâ€"term care facilities are now able to view their waiting lists online, and can view their client assessment information online.
