Development of Educare's HIPPA-compliant Health Information Exchange online platform for students with chronic medical conditions

越来越多的残疾学生在加拿大中学后教育机构入学。 然而，行政、财政和教育支持却没有以同样的速度增长。虽然学生可以在残疾学生办公室注册以获得住宿，但每个省和中学后机构的注册程序不同。因此，学生，特别是那些有慢性心理健康和身体残疾的学生，在接受住宿方面面临挑战。例如，如果他们的残疾在入学后出现，他们可能没有接收他们所需的残疾的广泛文件。如果他们有慢性残疾，他们必须支付旅行费用和在课堂上错过的时间来获得文件。在制度方面，学院和大学面临的行政成本不能轻易减少或卸载，以改善流程。EduCare希望改变这一点。EduCare LMS公司（Educare）为残疾学生提供了一个名为健康信息交换的在线平台，通过将他们和他们的学校与健康提供者联系起来，减少他们成功的障碍。Educare和Centennial College的可穿戴，互动和移动的技术健康访问中心（WIMTACH）正在合作开发一个符合HIPPA的在线平台，包括促进数据驱动解决方案的功能，功能和更多服务，这将解决并最终减少障碍。

There is a growing number of students with disabilities enrolled in Canadian post-secondary institutions. However, administrative, financial and educational support hasn't grown at the same rate. While students can register for Offices for Students with Disabilities (OSD) to receive accommodations, each province and post-secondary institution has a different registration process. As such, students, especially those with chronic mental health and physical disabilities, face challenges with receiving accommodations. If their disabilities emerge after enrollment, for example, they may not have the extensive documentation of their disabilities needed to receive them. If they have a chronic disability, they have to pay the cost of travel and time missed in class to acquire the documentation. On the institutional side, colleges and universities face administrative costs that cannot be easily reduced or offloaded to improve processes. EduCare wants to change this. EduCare LMS Corporation (Educare) provides an online platform - called Health Information Exchange - to students with disabilities to reduce barriers to their success by connecting them and their schools to health providers. Educare and Centennial College's Wearable, Interactive and Mobile Technologies Access Centre in Health (WIMTACH) are partnering to develop a HIPPA-compliant online platform to include features, functionalities and more services that facilitate data-driven solutions, that will address and ultimately reduce the barriers.
