Step 2: Log in to the BORN Information System (BIS) and access your personalized NT performance distribution |
Please allow up to four weeks for the Ontario MMS labs to process your registration request.

One will contain your BORN login and one will contain your BORN password. Please check your junk mail folder because sometimes these emails filter into this folder. You are now able to log in to the BIS, to update your contact details in our system, and to access your personalized NT performance distribution. |
Do not share your Ontario NT ID number
PSO/BORN and the Ontario MMS labs collect NT and CRL measurement data from patients' eFTS requisitions and record it under your Ontario NT ID number. This data is added to your personalized NT performance distribution and is used to assess your ongoing NT measurement accuracy.
The Ontario MMS labs use the information from sonographers' personalized NT performance distributions to generate patients' prenatal screening results. Prenatal screening results generated using data that is not representative of a sonographers' individual NT practice are skewed.
NT ID number sharing reduces the accuracy of patients' prenatal screening tests!
It is a privilege to perform NT scans and your personalized NT performance distribution reflects the quality of your work. Maintain the integrity of your distribution by making sure that you are the only one contributing to it.
Please protect your patients by protecting your Ontario NT ID number and your personalized NT performance distribution.
If you have any questions about the registration process or about Ontario's NTQA program, please email PSO at BORN Ontario or call 1-833-351-6490.
