Change Submission Method
Facilities may submit OCFs through two channels: the HCAI web application at www.hcai.ca, or a Practice Management System (PMS) provided by a PMS Vendor. Use the side menu to view step-by-step text and video instruction on changing your submission method.
Only users with the Facility Administrator role may update user information.
Quick Tip: Do I have the Facility Administrator role? When logged in to HCAI, Facility Administrators are able to view the Manage tab and the Facility Management sub-tab.
