MONTREAL – Telus Health said Thursday that it has completed its acquisition of Medesync, a certified electronic medical records (EMR) product, which will bring a web-based interface to Telus' EMR portfolio in Quebec. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Medesync uses the latest cloud-based and mobile technologies to bring physicians anywhere, anytime, access to EMRs from any computer or mobile device. Its EMR technology includes tools for managing and accessing all aspects of a clinic's operations, including scheduling, clinical encounters, prescribing, billing and electronic lab results. Additionally, it provides reporting capabilities and dashboards to assist medical professionals and clinical staff with at-a-glance access to key information.
"With the acquisition of the Medesync product, Telus Health is further strengthening its EMR offering by providing a robust, bilingual web-based solution that is well-regarded for its ease of use and accessibility by physicians from any computer or mobile device," said Telus Health president Paul Lepage, in the news release. "Not only is this becoming increasingly important and in demand, it will also strengthen EMR adoption in Quebec and play a meaningful role in increasing collaboration between healthcare professionals to drive better health outcomes for patients."
