Send Consults to Netcare
Enhance patient care and continuity with Community Information Integration (CII). With CII technology, you can send consult reports directly from your private office EMR to Alberta Netcare. Participating is easy and comes at no cost.
CII improves care for patients, making community consult reports available to other providers. This is especially important when a patient goes to the ED, sees multiple specialists or changes family doctors.
