What is NHEverywhere and how to set it up

NHEverywhere (NHE) is a virtual desktop solution that allows physicians, clinicians, and staff to reliably and securely access Northern Health applications required for patient care (e.g., Cerner, CMOIS, PACS etc.). To keep NHE secure, we rely on Microsoft multi-factor authentication (MFA). Instructions on enrolling in Microsoft MFA and using NHEverywhere (PDF).

When accessing NHEverywhere from outside a Northern Health facility you must always access it via the Microsoft My Apps portal. Log into the My Apps portal using your Northern Health email address and password and Microsoft MFA.

Microsoft Teams

Northern Health has adopted a more modern online workplace by deploying Microsoft Teams and the Microsoft 365 platform. Other BC health authorities will also start using Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 in the near future.

Microsoft Teams provides streamlined experiences for online meetings and calls, document and content collaboration, high-velocity chat-based conversations, and the integration of apps and analytics. Microsoft Teams replaces Skype for Business for meetings, calls, presence indicators, and private chats.

Microsoft Teams Rooms (meeting room devices)

Northern Health is aligning meeting rooms with conferencing equipment to run on Microsoft Teams.

This change allows users to easily book Teams meetings in MS Outlook and invite the meeting room to experience a seamless integration with MS Teams.

This technology also allows staff to participate in external MS Teams meetings. Once the meeting invite is shared with the meeting room it is as easy as clicking the ‘join’ button in the meeting room(s).
