Telus launches online health care hub for customers


MONTREAL – Pledging to help improve the sustainability of Canada’s healthcare system, Telus has launched TelusHealth.com, an online hub that provides professionals with resources, tools and technology to help improve health outcomes.

The healthcare hub features Telus Health products and services and offers customers smart healthcare solutions and other resources designed to help health professionals improve both health outcomes for patients and Canadian healthcare in general.

The new online hub will provide:

– Solutions and services information such as eClaims, personal health records and home care monitoring are easy to access and understand using the website's streamlined navigation

Information tailored for each industry and Canadian province, so it's easy for users to find the most relevant products and services to meet their needs

Educational resources, news, events and publications are available to assist professionals in their practice

Access to technical and sales support for existing and new customers is simpler than ever

Content optimized for searchability, helping visitors access resources and tools faster with improved results.

It was a decade ago when Telus decided to leverage its technologies to work with professionals across the country through Telus Health. To date Telus Health has invested more than one billion dollars to bring healthcare information technology to market and is a leader in telehomecare, electronic medical and health records, consumer health, benefits management and pharmacy management.

"We believe that for Canada's healthcare industry to truly improve, it must harness the power of the very same technologies that are revolutionizing every other industry – from banking, airlines and insurance, to automotive and beyond," said Paul Lepage, senior vice-president, Telus Health.

"By combining the experience of a trusted telecommunications company with healthcare expertise and innovation, Telus Health has created the new TelusHealth.com to showcase solutions that link Canadian patients with their providers and turn information into better health outcomes."

As Telus Health products and services continue to evolve to meet the demands of Canada's healthcare market, so too will the website says Telus.
