“Axe the Fax” Assessment Project

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has initiated an analysis of the current state and drivers of fax use in the province’s health sector to conduct early planning to identify options for the elimination of fax use in Ontario’s health system.

To deliver on this assessment, the MOH has engaged Deloitte to execute three key phases of work in the upcoming months:

1. Phase 1: Current State Assessment: Provide an assessment of the current fax use in Ontario’s health system landscape, including the drivers for use, top fax use cases, and opportunities and challenges for change
2. Phase 2: Options Analysis: Conduct a thorough qualitative and quantitative analysis of implementation options that would best enable the shift away from fax use in the provincial health landscape
3. Phase 3: Early Planning Roadmap: Provide a potential plan for the provincial rollout of implementation options for the top fax use cases

MOH will be releasing more information in the near future.
