The Ontario AI Scribe Program
The OMD team was pleased to help lead the legal and regulatory evaluation of AI scribes in Ontario and support the development of requirements for the
Ontario AI Scribe Program.
- Supply Ontario established the AI Scribe Vendor of Record (VOR) arrangement through a rigorous, open, and competitive procurement process.
- This comprehensive evaluation considered a wide range of criteria, including technical, clinical, legal, and business requirements, as well as critical privacy and security considerations.
- OntarioMD sought input from a variety of stakeholders including medical associations and regulators. The OMA and the CMPA, among others, were organizations that provided feedback. This assisted the process to develop requirements and contracts to align with the medico-legal obligations of physicians.
Supply Ontario's
Vendor of Record list includes vendors who have met the requirements set out in the procurement process. This approach was designed to ensure that qualified vendors will deliver exceptional value and service to Ontario clinicians.
