Regional Cancer Care has become the first cancer program in Ontario to implement an e-health strategy across the Northwest.
The record system sets the standard for other Local Health Integration Networks.
A total of 14 regional sites, including Dryden, Red Lake and Kenora, are now directly connected electronically.
The system allows nurses and physicians order treatments and access information in real-time.
Officials say orders transferred over the internet now arrive at home sites quickly and efficiently.
