About OceanMD

Meet the company behind Canada’s digital gateway for patient engagement and clinical service requests

OceanMD is Canada’s leading provider of integrated solutions designed to connect patients, providers, and healthcare systems through the secure exchange of healthcare data. As a cloud-based platform, Ocean integrates with over 25 clinical information systems and repositories using open, standards-based APIs and a library of thousands of clinical and administrative forms.

Ocean’s full suite of EMR-integrated patient engagement solutions, from online booking to patient messages, and check-in kiosks, is reducing the burden on providers and clinic staff, while empowering patients to access their own health data. The same platform is giving clinicians a way to easily send eReferrals and eConsults through the Ocean Provider Network, improving overall system efficiency and reducing wait times.

By connecting disconnected systems, replacing paper forms and faxes, and giving patients ways to connect with clinicians online, OceanMD is providing the foundation for digitally enabled healthcare across Canada.
