The
Ontario Laboratories Information System: Fundamentals and Implications
for Providers, Patients and Vendors
Speaker:
Lilian Leung
Directory of the OLIS Application
Smart Systems for Health Agency (SSHA)
The Ontario Laboratories Information System (OLIS) is the new provincial information system that collects and allows
the electronic exchange of information about all laboratory tests in Ontario.
It is a fundamental part of Ontario's evolving e-health infrastructure.
During this presentation, Lilian will provide an overview of the OLIS
application's objectives, uses, architecture, integration points, and
expected benefits. Its functionality and how it interacts with other services
that the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) provides, and
the role of the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) in its roll-out
will be explained.

Health care in Canada is a $105 billion industry – one of
our country's largest expenditures. Of this, $2 billion to $3 billion
is spent on information technology (IT) annually. IT allows for
greater communication and information sharing among patients, caregivers,
and policymakers. IT also improves the accessibility and quality
of health services and significantly increases the efficiency of
the whole health care system.
Recognizing the potential impact, there is growing IT interest
and investment in health care by vendors and users. This has led
to many technology and policy innovations in the last few years
– innovations that have demonstrated a marked benefit in quality
and efficiency.
Ottawa has an established IT industry and a large life sciences
community. There are many examples of successful adoptions of IT
in the provision of health care and in clinical research. The purpose
of this seminar series is to facilitate the exposure and exchange
of experiences and ideas.
The seminars are targeted at health care providers, policymakers,
IT entrepreneurs, technology developers, and students. The focus
is on technologies that have actually been implemented; IT infrastructure
development efforts and their costs/benefits; technology adoption
experiences; and new public initiatives to support IT in health
care. Speakers represent a cross-section from the life sciences
community including vendors and developers of technology, researchers,
and public officials.
