What is Accession?

What can I do with Accession?

Book appointments

At the present time, only telephone appointments with your usual family physician can be booked online.  If you want to schedule another type of appointment, or if you wish to see or speak to someone other than your own family doctor, you must phone the clinic.  In addition, if you have any forms that need completion, please call the clinic to ensure you are notified of any potential fees that may be associated with the forms.  The phone call will also allow our staff to book an appointment of appropriate duration for the complexity of the form.

You will be limited to scheduling a maximum of three future appointments.  You are asked to book only one appointment on a given day.

Change your demographic information

If you move or change your phone number, you can now directly update these changes in your clinic record through Accession.  This will help ensure our office can contact you in a timely fashion.

Enter medical information into your chart

Your doctor might ask you to check your blood pressure at home.  Through Accession, you can record the information directly into your medical record.  Please be aware that your doctor will not automatically review this information on a regular basis.  Therefore, if you have any urgent concerns, please make an appointment to review things with your doctor.

Check on the status of pending specialist referrals

You can view a list of pending referrals to specialists, and in some cases you will be able to confirm the time and date of the appointment.

Review laboratory and medical imaging results

Through Accession, you can view all of your blood test results, regardless of the laboratory used for the testing.  In addition, medical imaging reports (such as X-ray, CT scan, and ultrasound) can be viewed online.

Please note that in order for your report to be available to you online, your family doctor must have viewed the information first.

View portions of your medical record

You will be able to view a list of the medical problems your doctor is currently helping you manage.  In addition, your will be able to view a summary of your past medical history.

If you have questions about why certain information is recorded, or conversely, why something is omitted, please feel free to discuss the matter with your doctor at your next appointment.

Any Questions?

If you require additional information, please feel free to talk to your doctor at your next visit.
