Sunnybrook and CML HealthCare Inc. Makes Lab Results Available On-Line

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 29, 2013) - Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre ("Sunnybrook") and CML HealthCare Inc. (TSX:CLC) ("CML") have announced a significant step forward in the delivery of patient-centric care for Ontarians. Working together, the organizations will deliver CML laboratory test results to Sunnybrook patients and physicians through secure portal access on Sunnybrook's MyChart personal health record system.

CML has been a vital part of Ontario's healthcare system for over 40 years, providing timely laboratory test results that support medical diagnostic decisions and personal health management for patients and their family. The partnership between Sunnybrook and CML will enable Sunnybrook's MyChart users greater access to laboratory services performed outside of the hospital, including CML HealthCare's 114 Client C.A.R.E. centres across Ontario. This makes it convenient for Sunnybrook patients to have lab services performed closer to home and gives referring physicians more options outside of the hospital with all test results accessible online on Sunnybrook's MyChart patient portal.

"Sunnybrook continues to evolve our personal electronic health record service for improved access to information, timely decision making, and healthier outcomes for patients managing and monitoring their health at home, or while travelling," said Sarina Cheng, Director, Health Records Department & eHealth Strategies at Sunnybrook.

"We are proud to be the only community-based laboratory services provider to be partnering with Sunnybrook in delivering lab results directly to patients via the hospital's MyChart patient portal. Our doctors and their patients have been asking for this capability for a long time, and we are pleased to make it available," said Thomas Wellner, President and CEO of CML HealthCare.

With the potential acquisition of CML HealthCare by LifeLabs Ontario Inc., announced in June 2013, this integration of access may potentially make patient portal direct access available for over 60 per cent of Ontario's community based diagnostic testing.
