QBIC (Quality Based Improvements in Care) is a program hosted by the eHealth Centre of Excellence (eCE) that works to provide primary care providers within Waterloo Wellington with support to incorporate telehealthcare services, such as eConsult, into their practice workflow.

We will be using our blog to highlight providers in our region who are receiving eConsults – and this month, we would like to put the spotlight on Dr. Yelena Chorny.

Dr. Chorny is a local primary care provider with specialized training in addictions, and she accepts eConsults for patients of any age with suspected or known substance use disorders (including alcohol, illicit substances and prescribed medications). She has experience in outpatient community-based programs, inpatient/medical detox and residential treatment settings. 

Dr. Chorny has completed a fellowship in Addiction Medicine at CAMH in 2013 and was certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine in 2014.
