Canada's Leading University Health Centre Adopts Intelligent PHR
Opens the Way for New Generation Medical Information Technology
MONTREAL--(Marketwire - August 3, 2009) - VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp. (The "Company")
(
This major breakthrough is expected to help change the direction of medical
informatics and usher in a new era of medical meaningful use focused on the
needs of patients. Over the years McGill has been a consistent leader in
medical innovation as exemplified by its new $1.9 billion Health Centre
Project, reputed to be the largest of its kind in the world.
The move reflects the new direction of healthcare informatics as leading
policy makers and experts move to introduce a new generation of meaningful
use clinical information technology more focused on patients and their
families.
Dr. Jeffrey Barkun, Director of General Surgery and Chief Clinical Officer
of the Informatics Transition at the MUHC, says, "MedforYou is an essential
complement to the electronic patient record being implemented in our
hospitals today."
MUHC Director General and CEO Dr. Arthur Porter noted, "Giving Quebecers a
Web-based logbook in which to track their health and a host of features
that can inform and influence their lifestyle choices is a new way for the
McGill University Health Centre to make a difference in people's lives."
Canadian internet health information Company Medical.MD EHR, a leader in
the development of meaningful use applications, will be providing its
proprietary Personal Electronic Health Record called MedforYou. to the
MUHC.
In the United States, the Obama Administration is also leading the way with
steps to use a significant portion of the stimulus package (ARRA) to help
physicians purchase clinical informatics tools that offer meaningful use
with genuine outcome benefits for patients.
"These types of advanced medical technologies can no longer be ignored,"
says VisualMED chairman Gerard Dab. "We believe that this new trend will
finally benefit our proprietary technologies." With some of our recent
licensing agreements including those for the Chinese market, our
technologies have taken on a much broader, global scope, and management is
working to expand further these kinds of distribution channels.
