How to Request Access to CareConnect for Community-Based Users

This page is intended for community-based healthcare providers who would like to request access to CareConnect.
Community-based healthcare providers and eligible team members may request access to CareConnect solely to support the delivery of direct patient care. Access for secondary use purposes such as research, quality improvement or quality assurance is not permitted. 

To obtain CareConnect access, you will need to complete the steps outlined below. This entire process will take between 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete.  

Registration Quickstart Guide
For a high-level overview of the steps involved in registering for CareConnect access, refer to this guide:

Register Your Worksite
If your worksite has not been registered yet, please appoint someone from your worksite to be your Group / Site Administrator (typically a lead MOA, office manager or physician). 

For instructions on how to register your worksite for CareConnect access, refer to this guide:
Note: Before a worksite is approved for creation, an individual with signing authority for your worksite must complete the Worksite Privacy & Security Declaration form.

You will receive an email which contains instructions on how to complete this requirement once the worksite creation request has been submitted. 

For samples of these declaration forms, please visit the User Agreement page.  

Join a Worksite and Enrol as a User
Once a worksite has been created, an individual user must request to 'join' every worksite that they intend to access CareConnect from. Every eligible CareConnect user must register their own unique account in order to access patient information via the CareConnect eHealth Viewer.
