Primary care physicians continue to embrace innovation, but the sheer volume of change, from new technologies and evolving policies to the rapid rise of AI, can lead to change fatigue. OntarioMD helps physicians navigate this complexity through trusted guidance, education, and hands-on support, making digital transformation more manageable and sustainable while keeping the focus on patient care.
In this blog, a family physician outlines how the CRAFT method helps practices identify tasks that can delegated or streamlined, allowing physicians to focus on patients. By embracing team-based care and optimizing workflows, practices can reduce administrative burden, improve efficiency, and create sustainable ways of working, without extending hours of increasing costs.
After 40+ years in family medicine, the author has embraced each wave of healthcare innovation to improve patient care, reduce administrative work, and support a better work-life balance. Using an AI scribe, automated pre-visit questionnaires, and follow-up patient summaries helped streamline workflows, reduce documentation time, and enable more focused, and patient-centred care. The result is a more efficient practice and improved healthcare experience for the author and her patients.
AI scribes are becoming a standard part of health care, helping clinicians reduce documentation time for more focused, patient-centred care. The Ontario AI Scribe Program and its newly added vendors provide clinicians greater choice and flexibility in finding a solution that meets their specialty and workflow needs.
AI-powered clinical decision support (AI-CDS) tools address a knowledge gap in health care by delivering real-time, context-specific insights that help clinicians manage cognitive overload and inform decisions on complex care.
Moving clinics can be stressful. OntarioMD (OMD) helped Dr. Fatemeh Bejaei, a family physician in Milton, set up digital health tools in her new clinic.

Learn how the Ontario AI Scribe Program is helping clinicians spend less time charting and more time with patients through secure, vetted AI scribes.
The Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario (IPC) recently published its guide to provide a comprehensive framework for adopting AI scribe tools safely, ethically, and in compliance with Ontario's privacy regulations.
Ontario primary care physicians order millions of tests for patients each year. Most of the time, physicians receive lab results without incident – but sometimes, for whatever reason, they don’t. When it comes to lab results, no news isn’t good news.
