OntarioMD’s (OMD) Digital Health Virtual Symposium is designed to teach you how to Take Back Your Time. It gives you practical and actionable insights to make technology work for your practice. From AI and workflow optimization to privacy, security and patient management, the sessions focus on strategies that save time and let you focus on patients.

Is there hope for technology in your practice?

Dr. Darren Larsen

Rise Up: Hope for technology in practice will be the keynote address by Dr. Darren Larsen. A recognized leader in health systems transformation, he will cut through the noise surrounding emerging technologies to spotlight the tools that truly deliver value in community-based practice. His session will separate meaningful innovation from passing trends, highlighting practical solutions that streamline workflow, reduce administrative burden and help clinicians take back their time. By challenging attendees to think beyond the EMR, he will explore new ways digital health tools can strengthen care delivery, support better patient outcomes and allow clinicians to focus more on patients and less on paperwork.

Considering AI tools but concerned about risks?

AI in digital health is no longer emerging; it is already transforming clinical practice. When implemented thoughtfully, these tools can reduce documentation burden and administrative workload, helping physicians reclaim time for patient care and the work that makes medicine meaningful. Yet adoption remains cautious, with medico-legal and privacy concerns among the biggest barriers. Ariane Siegel, OMD’s General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer, will examine how AI and digital health tools intersect with physicians’ legal and privacy obligations in Emerging Medico-legal and Privacy Issues. Drawing on real clinical scenarios, recent guidance from the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario and Canada’s evolving regulatory environment, she will provide clear, actionable strategies to help clinicians understand emerging risks and confidently integrate AI into practice.

Want to streamline workflows that consume valuable clinical time?

The S.E.E.D. workshop will share practical, real-world strategies, including how to eliminate duplicate reporting, reduce unnecessary requests and streamline everyday workflows that consume valuable clinical time. Presenters Dr. Rebecca Lubitz, OMD Peer Leader, and Olivera Bosnic, OMD Practice Enhancement Consultant, will share proven approaches to educating and empowering staff so roles are clear, confidence is strengthened and delegation becomes a driver of team performance. The result: a more coordinated, productive practice environment that frees you to focus on what matters most, delivering exceptional patient care.

The OMD Educates Digital Health Virtual Symposium 2026 is an opportunity to hear from digital health leaders and innovators who will share practical, real-world strategies for getting the most from the tools you already use and those you are considering. You will gain useful advice and “how to” guidance designed to enhance your practice.

It is time to take back YOUR time. Technology used efficiently can return those hours so you can focus on patient engagement and higher value clinical tasks.

Who should attend?

Using digital health tools involves the entire practice. The Digital Health Virtual Symposium is ideal for physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, allied health professionals and administrative/clinic staff. This conference is also for health system decision makers to hear what front-line clinicians want and need.
