Our Mission

The OMD Peer Leader Program connects clinicians with knowledgeable colleagues for digital health support, learning, and guidance at no cost.

Program Overview

OMD's Peer Leader Program supports community based clinicians in their digital health journey with guidance and advice from expert users of OMD-certified EMRs and other digital health and virtual care tools.

OMD Peer Leaders include physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and clinic managers who share their knowledge on digital health tools through mentorship, education, workshops, and other outlets. Their guidance has helped:

    • Physician practices with optimizing digital tools to streamline EMR use and workflow, enhance patient care, and improve clinician decision support 
    • Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) with fulfilling digital health plans to maximize physician and community engagement
    • OMD, vendors and health system stakeholders with developing provincial digital infrastructure and informing health-care innovations that meet clinician needs

Over 55 Peer Leaders, including physicians, specialists, clinic managers and nurses,
helping thousands of Ontario physicians and their staff with their EMRs
