Health-care providers at 16 partner sites will have access to patient health information, enhancing care across the region.

Patients throughout Eastern Ontario will soon be able to navigate the healthcare system more effectively as six healthcare providers join the Atlas Alliance’s digital health records system. By fall 2026, patients and healthcare providers at any of the 16 partner organizations will have access to the health records they need with just a few clicks.

This connects several healthcare providers throughout the region, including The Royal, and enables them all to securely store, access and share patient health information, allowing for more seamless patient care throughout the community. Patients visiting these providers will also be able to access their own health records through the MyChart patient portal.

By fall 2026, patients and healthcare providers at any of the 16 partner organizations will have access to the health records they need with just a few clicks.
