====The Ontario Electronic Healthcare System introduces an online database where users holding an Ontario Health card can maintain healthcare appointments. Users sign in using their OHIP number and password, the system will pull up a user profile containing upcoming appointments. The user can view their appointments, cancel , and set up a cancellation notification. The cancellation notification option will notify users via email and text message if a time slot becomes available for their appointment. The Ontario Electronic Healthcare System could ease the backlog in the current system by decreasing hospital wait times for specialist appointments, and increasing appointment availability for specialist treatments; with an application to private practice appointment maintenance. Our goal is not to redesign or change the current medical booking system, rather add to it which will help bridge the gap between the old and new technologies. ====

 * Book appointments with health institute
