Built by the team behind Ontario's EMR backbone. When BlueBird iT started, fewer than 5% of Ontario clinics had adopted electronic medical records. Today, more than 90% have — and BlueBird has touched the majority of them. Our CEO sits on the OntarioMD Cybersecurity Check-Up panel alongside the IPC's Director of Health Policy, OntarioMD's Chief Privacy Officer, and senior healthcare leaders, returning annually as a guest speaker. PrivacyIQ reflects the same operational standard BlueBird applies across thousands of Ontario primary care clinics.
