This online handbook (editors.connect-care.ca) gathers tips, guides, resources, and norms for Clinical Builders contributing to the Connect Care initiative by facilitating design and optimization of clinical content (decision, documentation, and inquiry supports) in the Connect Care clinical information system (CIS). The focus is essential information addressing the particular needs of physicians and other prescribers.Â
A separate Connect Care Manual supports CIS users. An eHealth Glossary explicates health informatics terms and concepts. Other prescriber resources are listed at resources.connect-care.ca.
This resource helps the Health Shared Services (HSS) Chief Medical Information Office help prescribers. There is no claim that the information provided is institutionally endorsed. Requests for additions and corrections are welcomed by the Chief Medical Information Office Editorial Board (cmio.manual@hssab.ca).
