What you need to know about your Ontario Lab Results

You have the option to view your lab test results and pathology reports from other labs and hospitals in Ontario. These results are stored in the Ontario Laboratories Information System (OLIS).

Accessing these results, as well as your UHN results, gives you a more complete record of your care. Since OLIS stores most Ontario lab results, the lab tests you have at UHN will show in both the UHN Results and Ontario Lab Results sections of myUHN.


Which labs provide information to OLIS, and what types of lab tests do they include?

Most hospitals, community labs and public health labs in Ontario provide lab test results to OLIS. Please review the list of OLIS hospitals and labs to see the lab tests that they provide.

The way my lab information appears in UHN Results and Ontario Lab Results is different. Why?

Since myUHN is getting these lab test results from different systems, some of the information you see will be different.

Your doctor is the best person to help you understand what your lab results mean. If you have questions about your lab test results, please contact the doctor who ordered the tests.


Does my health care team at UHN have access to my Ontario Lab Results?

The doctor who ordered your lab tests will receive your results directly from the lab. Others in your health care team, such as your family doctor, may have access to these results depending on where they are stored and the systems they use.

You can send them a shared access invitation by clicking Menu > Sharing > Share My Record. You can choose what you want your proxy user to see, and you can revoke proxy access at any time.

Before inviting someone to see your personal health information, please think about:

  • Will this person look out for my best interests and keep my personal health information safe and private?
  • You are the only person who can decide to invite, remove or change a proxy user's account. Make sure you share access to our account responsibly.

Note: When a patient turns 13, all their proxy users will be disabled


What type of access can my proxy have?

For patients younger than 13 years old, parents can have "Parent-Child" access to their child's record until the child turns 13. When the child turns 13, the child can decide to decline further proxy access or keep it and specify the level of access the child wishes for the parents to continue to have:

  • Full Access or,
  • Partial Access: View Only or,
