About CareCanvas
Family physicians across Ontario have come together to design a tool to help primary care clinicians and teams better understand and care for the communities we serve.
CareCanvas is a collaboration between the University of Toronto’s Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) and the Primary Care Ontario Practice-based Learning and Research Network (POPLAR). POPLAR is an initiative of Ontario’s six University Family Medicine departments and the Alliance for Healthier Communities.
CareCanvas is an interactive web-based dashboard that summarizes clinical information from your practice EMR to make it easier to care for your patients. All data comes from your electronic medical record. The data are extracted from your clinic’s information system and cleaned, processed, and stored in a secure server with POPLAR.
Please keep in mind that the data are not perfect. We use algorithms that have been developed by researchers to identify common chronic conditions and some patients may be incorrectly classified.
