LAST UPDATED NOVEMBER 24, 2022. Content will evolve as Connect Care is launched across the province, and as optimizations are made to the system. Please also note that the delivery information on these pages applies to mixed-context practitioners only, and in the majority of circumstances, but some exceptions may not be reflected here. 

Delivery of Laboratory Results, Diagnostic Imaging, ECG & Endoscopy Reports

Mixed-context practitioners can receive results and reports in their Epic In Basket, in another Alberta Health Services (AHS) clinical information system (CIS) (until Connect Care is fully implemented), in an electronic medical record (EMR) that they use outside of AHS in a community or private practice, or via mail, courier or fax. The location in which they receive the results and reports depends on where and how the clinical test or intervention is ordered. The examples below review several common ordering contexts and the associated delivery pathways.

Connect Care sends courtesy copies (cc: copies) of results based on the practitioner’s default eDelivery location and their Connect Care communication preference. Mixed-context practitioners will usually receive copies of results in their In Baskets. If they have eDelivery, they will also receive the copied result in their default EMR. They will no longer receive cc: copies via fax or mail. Practitioners can copy themselves to get results to the EMR at their default eDelivery location.
