Digital Shared Services will be upgrading the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) and eChart Manitoba on July 25, 2025. The upgrade ensures users will be brought up to date on fully-supported versions. It also includes migration to cloud-hosted services.

This will help the applications stay fully protected, supported and aligned with the latest security standards and will bring users onto a common version. It will also introduce improvements to things like viewing and searching patient information.

The upgrade impacts all current EPR and eChart users, with varying degrees of change based on the features and functions used at each site. Key changes are summarized below:

EPR changes

• Most end users will notice new buttons, icons and screen colours, as well as improvements to viewing and searching.
• Some end users will notice changes to Order Reconciliation Manager (ORM), Prescription Writer (Rx Writer) and Opal Scanning (Ambulatory EPR).
• We do not anticipate the need for classroom training for the EPR changes; quick reference guides and other training materials will be provided as required to support end users.

eChart changes

• The upgrade will bring all eChart users to the same version.
• Users who access through EPR will notice a significant difference in terms of navigation, look, feel, and how the data is organized.
• Users who access through an EMR or web browser will notice some changes, including the return of the tabular view for navigating three of the clinical categories.
• Training videos will be available on the eChart Manitoba website.

Updates will be shared as we progress towards go-live including more details around downtime, training and go-live readiness.

Thank you for your attention and support as we work toward enhancing our digital applications across the health care system.
