What is CII/CPAR?
Community Information Integration/Central Patient Attachment Registry (CII/CPAR) is a program that connects community physician EMRs to the health system through Alberta Netcare. CII/CPAR is improving continuity of care for Albertans.

Primary care physicians
Primary care physicians can share patient visit information to Netcare for informational continuity. Family physicians and pediatricians can submit their confirmed patient panels with CPAR and receive information in return such as when their patients are discharged from an emergency department or hospital. In June 2021, Netcare will begin to display the name of the CPAR primary provider in their record.
For more information visit the CII/CPAR webpage or contact us at continuity@albertadoctors.org.

Specialty care physicians
Specialty care physicians participate in CII (Community Information Integration) to select and share their consult reports from their EMR to Netcare.
For more information on getting started visit the CII specialist webpage or contact us at cii-specialty@albertadoctors.org.

In 2021, Albertans will be able to view more lab test results in My Health Records (MHR), the single access point for Albertans’ personal health information. These lab results will be viewable through the My Personal Records (MPR) application. This change is being made to provide Albertans with more access to their health information, and as an additional safety net for patient care within the system. These results will be viewable as soon as they are released by the lab:

• About 95% of the most commonly-ordered (by volume) lab test results will be viewable by Feb 1, 2021.

• All remaining lab tests, including more complex results in microbiology, pathology and genetics, will be available in MPR by July 1, 2021.

Lab results ordered from all sites in Alberta, including labs ordered during inpatient and emergency visits will be included in MPR. Once the changes are in place, new users will see an 18-month retrospective view of any lab results slated for release. Existing users will not have labs added retroactively, but they will be able to see the expanded lab results moving forward.

After the changes, patients will have immediate access to more of their own information. Providers may notice some changes in their patterns of work, and may need to consider giving patients more information about the implications of different results when initially ordering a test. Physicians and other providers will continue to have access to results information through their usual channels, including Alberta Netcare.

To support Albertans, Alberta has created the MyHealth.Alberta.ca Web site, a trusted source of health information, and MyHealth Records Support is available at 1-844-401-4016​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​, 24 hours daily. Technical assistance is available between 8:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (MT), Monday to Friday, but a connection to 811 for health-related inquiries, including test results, is available at all times.
