CLINICARE Achieves Approved EMR Vendor Status in Manitoba
CALGARY, ALBERTA, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
CLINICARE Corporation is pleased to announce that it has passed
conformance testing requirements in Manitoba and is now an "Approved EMR
(Electronic Medical Records) Vendor" for both Local and ASP
configurations. As part of this process, CLINICARE has also executed a
Master Standing Agreement with the Province.
The Manitoba EMR qualification process was intended to address the needs
of all physicians and their practices (both family physicians and
specialists) that provide care in the community, as well as other primary
health care clinics. The EMR will become a vital tool to connect
physicians in the community electronically to the rest of the health
system. Manitoba eHealth has established the Primary Care Information
Systems (PCIS) office to assist physicians and clinics in acquiring an
EMR that will meet their needs.
CLINICARE has already established itself as a national leader in
providing electronic health solutions based around its EMR software,
interface development, and is at the forefront of electronic prescription
deployment. CLINICARE will be working with Manitoba eHealth on an ongoing
basis to provide the functionality needed to participate in initiatives
like the Physician Integrated Network (PIN) and to integrate effectively
with the emerging Electronic Health Record (EHR) in order to access lab
results, drug history, diagnostic imaging results, etc. This will mean
improved productivity and interoperability for the family practitioner as
well as for specialists. It should be noted that future EMR purchases by
Regional Health Authorities will only be made from an Approved EMR
Vendor.
"As in any business relationship, you have to trust whoever you're in a
partnership with, and I trust CLINICARE fully. I not only trust them when
negotiating a quote but I also trust them to deliver on that quote,
provide the training, implement the system, and deliver ongoing support
services - support is critical." stated Tom Malone, CEO of The Winnipeg
Clinic after installing CLINICARE EMR in 2006. (The Winnipeg Clinic went
on to receive the Canadian Information Productivity Award (CIPA) for
"Organizational Transformation".)
According to Karim Kanji, President of CLINICARE, "We are building on our
successful 25 year history of business process experience and know-how in
Canada. We have established a dominant position in this critical
marketplace and have a very satisfied and loyal following in Manitoba.
Many practices, including the Winnipeg and Manitoba Clinics, have
remained Customers partly because of our proven corporate capacity and
financial viability. We are proud to have our Customers consider us
partners and rely on our best in class knowledge base and service. Our
Customers choose us for the scope and depth of our organization and the
workflow capabilities in our competitive product offering - they stay
with us for the service we provide."
