2011 AFHTO conference presentation PRESENTER (S): Tim Iredale, Stratford Family Health Team; Paul West, Rhyzome Networks FHT/ORG: Stratford FHT ABSTRACT: The Stratford FHT is located in a city that is one of the Top 7 Intelligent Communities of 2011. The Stratford FHT has partnered with Rhyzome Networks to improve its IT infrastructure which has resulted in better access to our EMR and improved FHT collaboration. Rhyzome Networks offers 60 kms of fiber optics which supports a city wide mesh WiFi. This improved IT infrastructure has provided consistent and redundant connectivity and capacity for IP based voice and data communications between offices. The Stratford FHT receives results electronically into our EMR within minutes of them being posted at our local Hospital as a result of this intrastructure. Physicians can access our EMR securely from a WiFi enabled device anywhere within the City of Stratford. The next step is a patient portal made available through the city wide WiFi to any Stratford FHT patient regardless of economics. Click here to view presentation.
