Certification connects MYLE to Ontario's lab and hospital report systems as the province funds hundreds of new primary care teams
TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2026 /CNW/ -- MYLE, the all-in-one, AI-integrated electronic medical record (EMR) platform developed by Canadian health tech company MEDFAR, has been certified by OntarioMD, the Ontario Medical Association subsidiary that validates EMRs against provincial requirements, including privacy, security and hosting standards. Certification allows MYLE to connect to provincial services such as the Ontario Laboratories Information System (OLIS) and Health Report Manager (HRM®). Physicians and healthcare organizations across the province gain a new certified EMR option, from Family Health Organizations (FHOs), Family Health Groups (FHGs) and Family Health Teams (FHTs) to specialty clinics and hospitals.
The certification comes as Ontario expands primary care under its $3.4-billion Primary Care Action Plan. The plan aims to connect every Ontarian to a family doctor or primary care team by 2029 and to create or expand about 300 team-based clinics.
"We owe this certification to years of work from our team, and to the Ontario clinics that believed in MYLE long before it was certified," said Elias Farah, CEO of MEDFAR. "As Ontario builds new primary care teams, we're proud to give more of them an EMR that takes work off their plate."
"Having the certification is really helpful, because it gives physicians confidence that everything meets Ontario requirements, without having to do that background work themselves," said Dr. Wendy Thomas, family physician and clinical consultant to MEDFAR, who leads a 13-physician FHO in Peterborough, one of the first large Ontario clinics to switch to MYLE, in 2024. "It also allows MYLE to integrate with Ontario tools like HRM and OLIS, which is useful in day-to-day clinic workflow. Hospital reports come straight into your inbox instead of by fax, and labs done outside your practice, in the hospital for example, can be imported directly into the chart."
AI built into the clinical workflow
MYLE brings clinical workflows, patient information, communication and AI together in a single platform.MEDFAR's vision is to make it the system of intelligence for the clinic, bringing AI into every workflow. Four AI capabilities are already available:
- AI Scribe drafts visit notes in real time, so clinicians stay focused on the patient and finish their charting before they leave the clinic.
- AI Form-Filling fills out paperwork automatically using information from the consultation, and soon from the patient's chart as well, giving physicians back their personal time.
- AI Indexing files incoming faxes and reports to the right chart automatically, so physicians see results sooner and urgent ones don't slip through the cracks.
- AI Call Agent handles routine patient calls and books appointments directly in the clinic's schedule, so staff can focus on the work that needs a human touch.
These features are only the beginning: MEDFAR will keep extending AI across every part of the clinic, from the front desk to the exam room.
"Having the right information when I want it in the right spot has been the most transformative part of making the switch. The impact on the cognitive load is more than I expected," said Dr. Thomas. "When you're done with an encounter, you can put it behind you and fully focus on the next patient."
A partner, not just a vendor
Primary care teams in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario rely on MYLE for millions of patient appointments a year. Behind that growth is a $12 million annual investment in research and development, and a hands-on approach to partnership. MEDFAR teams work on site alongside clinics as they make the switch, and stay closely involved long after, turning everyday feedback into a better EMR.
"Our EMR migration was a very positive experience," said Dr. Manon Denis-LeBlanc, physician and project manager of St-Isidore Medical in eastern Ontario. "The MEDFAR team acted not as a vendor but as a true partner, present and committed from start to finish, and focused on getting the job done right."
To support the next generation of family physicians, MEDFAR also offers free MYLE licenses to medical residents across Canada. For more information about MYLE in Ontario or the residents program, visit www.medfarsolutions.com/en/ontario.
