Access to the QHR for laboratories, imaging reports, and medications is available through Omnimed's EMR. Before starting the configurations necessary to access the QHR viewer in Omnimed, please take into account the following prerequisites.
⚠️ Please note that we are not Quebec Health Record (Dossier santé Québec). If you do not have a QHR key or if you have questions concerning QHR Production, outside of Omnimed, you must contact their customer service directly.

Exclusions

- It is not possible for externs to access to this platform through Omnimed because they don't own an internship card issued by the Collège des médecins du Québec.
Other prerequisites

- Your QHR access device (UBS key) must be plugged into your computer at all times.
- Your system needs to run on Windows 10 or a newer version (it is not compatible with Mac unless you have a Windows virtual machine).
