Virtual Urgent Care

UHN (University Health Network) offers virtual urgent care services in the Toronto region. You can access these services through their official website, where you’ll find information about how to book an appointment, the types of conditions they can treat, and what to expect during a virtual visit.

There, you can find information about how to access virtual urgent care, including what types of conditions are suitable for these visits, how to prepare for your appointment, and the steps to book one.

Ontario eServices Program

SOHT, SHN, UHN Connected Care and SFPN are working together to support the scale and spread of the Ontario eServices Program to improve equitable and timely access to specialist care and community services through two digital tools, eReferral and eConsult.

If you are a provider set up on TELUS PS Suite, Accuro or Oscar Pro EMRs, eReferral enables you to launch referrals directly from the patient chart in your EMR to destinations already available in the eReferral Network. We are actively collaborating with partners to grown the number of eReferral destinations in our region.

eConsult provides a secure web-based tool for timely specialist advice, often eliminating the need for a patient visit.
