How third-party systems connect to TELUS Health EMRs: partner add-ons, the CHR Enterprise API, and how the route differs for PS Suite, Med Access and CHR.
The short version
TELUS Health is one of Canada's largest EMR vendors, and its EMRs came from different origins. PS Suite, Med Access and Collaborative Health Record (CHR) are the names most clinics will recognize. They share a vendor and differ in architecture, so the first question in any integration is which one the clinic runs, and how it is hosted.
Integration routes for TELUS Health EMRs
| Route | What it is | Where it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Partner add-ons | Third-party products listed by TELUS Health, filtered by EMR and by feature | Varies by EMR; each listing names the EMRs it supports |
| CHR Enterprise API | An API for clinics creating their own integrations, or buying them from other vendors | Collaborative Health Record |
| Provincial and standard feeds | Lab results, hospital reports and other messages through the province's channels | All, where the clinic is set up for them |
TELUS Health clinics usually run phones, faxes, forms and often a CRM alongside the EMR. The integration that returns the most hours is rarely the EMR connection alone: it is the work between the EMR and those systems. Our EMR integration guide covers how to connect them through one layer.
For Collaborative Health Record, TELUS Health offers the CHR Enterprise API. For its EMRs generally, it lists partner add-ons by EMR. The route depends on which EMR the clinic runs.
