​If so, you can sign up for the Community Information Integration/Central Patient Attachment Registry program. There are already 12 clinics using PS Suite that are live, and another 11 clinics in progress to implement CII/CPAR and connect their clinic EMR to the rest of the health system. This article is the fifth and final in a series to highlight CII/CPAR implementation experience with the five conformed EMRs. 

For primary care providers, you can contribute your panels to CPAR and receive eNotifications when your patients have had a hospital admission, hospital or emergency department (ED) discharge or day surgery at an AHS facility. Telus is currently unable to represent encounters to the Community Encounter Digest (download a sample CED). That is expected later this year.

Interested specialist care providers can check out CII for Specialists and should e-mail cii-specialty@albertadoctors.org.
