What is ConnectMyHealth?

ConnectMyHealth is an upcoming digital health solution that will provide you with an online, single access channel to view your health records from many healthcare facilities in Ontario. ConnectMyHealth can be used on desktop and mobile devices, there's no cost to use it, and there's no app to download when accessing your account via the web. Where applicable, ConnectMyHealth will also be accessible from your Ontario Health Team's "Navigator app" using an Ontario trusted account you create.

The development and implementation of ConnectMyHealth is managed by the HITS eHealth Office at Hamilton Health Sciences, is funded by Ontario Health, and will be made available to patients in Ontario Health West Region in collaboration with your local Ontario Health Team. The HITS eHealth Office operates the ConnectMyHealth Program Office.  

ConnectMyHealth will be different than other patient portals because it combines various types of health records created at hospitals you've been to in the Ontario Health West Region into one, consolidated view. Additional data sources, like community-based laboratories and radiology clinics, are expected to be added in the near future. ConnectMyHealth can be an ideal complement to in-person or virtual visits with your care providers by providing you easy access to your hospital records, and to additional functionality you may have through your local hospital, like appointment scheduling. 

Other key features of ConnectMyHealth will include: 

• Record Sharing: Share your health records with your family and care partners
• New Results Alerts: Subscribe to be notified by email when you’ve got new results available to view in ConnectMyHealth; your New Results page displays first when you log in, for quick and easy viewing
• Patient Dashboard: Customize your patient dashboard view by organizing the types of health records (modules) that are most important to you 
• Patient Visits Timeline: View your upcoming scheduled hospital appointments, where available

ConnectMyHealth is anticipated to be available for registration in Fall 2022. Please check back for registration options then. Additional content will be added to this website as the launch date approaches.
