CritiCall Ontario To Integrate With Ornge

Provincial Transfer Authorization Centre

The Provincial Transfer Authorization Centre (PTAC) is funded by the Ministry of Health and administered on its behalf by Ornge.  PTAC maintains a database of patient transfers into/out of and within the province of Ontario.  In the event of an infectious disease outbreak, PTAC also offers an online tool to screen for respiratory diseases prior to inter-facility patient transport within Ontario.
