The University Health Network, where "above all else the needs of patients come first", encompasses Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and the Michener Institute of Education.

The breadth of research, the complexity of the cases treated, and the magnitude of its educational enterprise has made UHN a national and international resource for patient care, research and education.

With a long tradition of ground breaking firsts and a purpose of "Transforming lives and communities through excellence in care, discovery and learning", the University Health Network (UHN), Canada's largest research teaching hospital, brings together over 16,000 employees, more than 1,200 physicians, 8,000+ students, and many volunteers.

UHN is a caring, creative place where amazing people are amazing the world.

There is a growing and strategic need to provide patient and staff support for virtual care technologies,
which include Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN), Microsoft Teams (MS) and myUHN Patient Portal
- where patients can access their health information in real-time. More technologies may be added as
part of UHN's strategic roadmap. Such programs are an essential component of the patient's healthcare
journey, supporting patient empowerment and self-management through access to their information.
Virtual care technologies are available to all patients and is a demonstration of UHN's purpose, values
and principles in action on how the needs of the patient come first.

To meet such needs, UHN went through a Clinical Transformation supercharged by a new Health
Information System (HIS), powered by Epic.

This clinical transformation included transitioning from the existing myUHN Patient Portal to Epic's
Patient Portal and integrating virtual care technologies into Epic. The updated myUHN will have
interactive features enabling patients to access more of their personal health information via a secure
website or app. With Epic's version of myUHN, virtual care technologies will be more accessible to
patients and health care teams.
