The Ontario Clinical Imaging Network (OCINet) is an independent, not-for-profit corporation sponsored by Ontario Health. Formed in April 2022 with the support of three diagnostic imaging repositories (i.e., HDIRS, NEODIN, SWODIN), OCINet was created to execute Ontario’s medical imaging digital health strategy. 

Building on regional efforts of the past decade, OCINet enables the secure storage and retrieval of millions of image records across multiple repositories; supports hundreds of hospitals and independent health facilities; and connects thousands of radiologists, referring physicians, and specialists province-wide. 

Today, OCINet facilitates the exchange of diagnostic image records (e.g., X-rays, MRIs, CTs); tomorrow, additional clinical imaging types are in scope. The seamless, authorized sharing of all clinical imaging records supports the movement and treatment of patients, reduces repeat scans and harmful radiation exposure, and decreases wait times and overcrowding. 

Beyond the repositories, OCINet is a shared services partner and service innovation hub for Ontario hospitals. OCINet supports regional picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), the Emergency Neuro Imaging Transfer System (ENITS), peer review technology, speech recognition, and more. Actively working to add value, contain costs, and enrich care, OCINet is much more than a health information network provider.
