EMR integration in Canada: Jane App, Oscar Pro, Accuro and TELUS Health compared

How third-party systems connect to the EMRs Canadian clinics run most: Jane App, Oscar Pro, Accuro, and TELUS Health's PS Suite, Med Access and CHR.

The short version

  • Each major Canadian EMR has its own route for third-party software, and they differ.
  • Jane App and Accuro use partner programs with clinic authorization; TELUS Health lists partner add-ons and offers the CHR Enterprise API.
  • OSCAR Pro, the commercial edition of the open-source OSCAR EMR, exposes REST and SOAP web services the clinic enables.
  • The questions are the same everywhere: what is live today, what it writes back, and who sees the exceptions.
  • Clinic Conductor is live in production with Jane App, Oscar Pro and TELUS Health.

The routes, side by side

How third-party systems reach Canadian EMRs

EMRVendorRoute for third parties
Jane AppJaneJane Developer Platform, for registered Technology Partners, authorized by each clinic
OSCAR ProWELL HealthREST and SOAP web services, with clients registered by the clinic's OSCAR administrator
AccuroQHR TechnologiesAccuro REST API, with credentials QHR issues per clinic
PS Suite and Med AccessTELUS HealthPartner add-ons listed by EMR
Collaborative Health RecordTELUS HealthCHR Enterprise API
Every route needs the clinic's authorization. None of them gives a vendor access the clinic did not approve.

What every clinic should ask

  1. Is the integration live in production on this exact EMR, today?
  2. Does it write back, and into which part of the record?
  3. What does the clinic request from the EMR vendor, and how long does it take?
  4. Where do exceptions go, and who resolves them?
  5. Where is the data stored, and under which agreement?
