Netcare can be launched within Connect Care to the current patient's Netcare record without need to re-enter a username or password. This "Single Sign On" function works when a patient's chart is opened and Netcare is selected from the pop-up that appears when overing over the "Other Clinical Systems" label in the patient storyboard (left column). Netcare can also be launched by using "Netcare" as a search term in Chart Search. Finally, a "Launch Netcare" activity tab can be added to the default activities list for any chart.
Note: As of December 14, 2023, Netcare will open in an external browser rather than being embedded; the demos linked below will look different from current state. We are working on replacing with similar or better functionality as when it was embedded.
Netcare will open within the Netcare patient chart. The available tools are limited to those that can be used within a chart. If system-level tools (such as messaging or provider referral lists) are desired, then it is better to open Netcare independently outside of Connect Care (external Netcare links can be added to personal dashboards).
Note that only one instance of Netcare can be open at a time within Connect Care. If multiple Connect Care charts are open at the same time, it is necessary to close Netcare in one before being able to open it in another.

Alberta Pharmacy Information Network Dispensing Record
Alberta Immunization Record
The eCLINICIAN ambulatory medical record was used in the Edmonton Zone prior to Connect Care launch. Most of its contents were transferred to Connect Care. However, some information (e.g., documents attached to the Media tab) may not transfer, and so access to a read-only eCLINICIAN viewer is provided until conversion is complete.
Like Netcare, the eCLINICIAN viewer is most easily accessed via the "Other Clinical Systems" section of the patient storyboard. A read-only viewer opens in a browser window, also using "Single Sign On" to avoid repeat entry of user names or passwords. If there is no patient information in eCLINICIAN, the viewer will indicate this on attempted opening.

Sunrise Clinical Manager CIS
The Sunrise Clinical Manager (SCM) CIS was used in AHS facilities in the Calgary Zone prior to the launch of Connect Care. An in-context viewer can be accessed from the "Other Clinical Systems" section of the patient storyboard, opening into a Connect Care patient chart activity, much like Netcare does. The same viewer can be opened from the "Other Systems" menu in the right sidebar or inpatient charts. A right-pointing link arrow will open the viewer in the sidebar while the left-pointing link arrows opens the viewer in the main (central) chart section.
The "Calgary Historic Patient Data" viewer is a web application that allows Connect Care users to view key historical information from previous SCM encounters:
Note that the viewer will not display data from visits that were flagged as confidential or VIP within SCM. As with Netcare, only one instance of the viewer can be open at a time. If there is no patient data available in SCM, the viewer will indicate this on attempted opening.
