Today, there are 70 First Nation communities leveraging telemedicine to access to clinical, educational and administrative health services. Using room-based videoconferencing systems, patients in these communities connect with clinicians and specialists across Ontario through eVisits (real-time video visits). OTN, and its partners at KOeHealth, are now offering First Nation communities a simpler and more convenient alternative to purchasing a room-based videoconferencing system.

New feature: Manually connect and re-connect to an eVisit from your computer or room-based system

OTN automatically connects your videoconferencing system to your eVisit at its scheduled start time when the event involves three or more systems or the event organizer has requested to auto-initiate the event themselves. While this practice was implemented for your convenience, privacy and security, participants must often call OTN if they are late to a call, or the call happens to get dropped.

OTN and partners evaluate app for chronic kidney disease patients

OTN and Lawson Health Research Institute are currently evaluating the impact of a remote telemonitoring solution for patients with chronic kidney disease who are currently receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) at home.

The randomized controlled trial is being carried out through the London Health Sciences Centre’s (LHSC) Kidney Care Centre using eQ Connect Solution, a digital tool from eQOL.

Launch of Self-Connect functionality for videoconference events

Connecting and reconnecting to your events just got easier! A SELF CONNECT feature is now available for multipoint calls in studio-based systems.

Thanks for your feedback. This feature is being implemented to give you the flexibility and control needed to reduce delays and to more easily connect and re-connect to an event. We’ve also made it possible for you to self-schedule and modify events in Ncompass or TSM up to five minutes before an event’s start time.

Here is an overview of all the ways you can self-connect to a videoconferencing call:
