Proud to be the first EMR software provider for the Launch of TELUS health space, powered by Microsoft HealthVault.

Toronto, ON, May 31, 2010 - Healthscreen Solutions announced today that it has entered into a Letter of Agreement with TELUS Health Solutions to connect its electronic medical record (EMR) software to the TELUS health space platform.

TELUS health space is the first consumer e-health platform for the Canadian market. It will provide a secure and complete repository of health data for individual Canadians, allowing easy access and entry of data from all healthcare institutions and stakeholders.

Recognizing the critical role that physicians play in the creation, management and distribution of medical information, TELUS health space has been designed to allow easy collaboration between physicians and their patients via Healthscreen’s EMR software.

“We are pleased to be the first EMR software provider to on-board its application to the TELUS health space platform, helping to enable physicians and other health providers to deliver better care in a more efficient manner.” said Healthscreen’s President and CEO, Justin Belobaba. “Our long-stated mission has been to increase efficiency in the physician’s office, while enabling doctors to deliver better care to their patients. This partnership will bring us one significant step closer to achieving our ultimate goal. Imagine a diabetic patient being able to transmit their glucose or blood pressure measurements from home or a drug store directly into their doctor’s electronic medical record – this is part of our vision of chronic condition management, and the possibilities are truly inspiring.”

Healthscreen’s goal is to be the first EMR software vendor in Canada to fully integrate into the TELUS health space ecosystem, providing two-way data exchange between patients and physicians. By fully leveraging Healthscreen’s existing network of over five thousand physicians, this partnership could easily enable over five million Canadians to access important electronic medical information currently residing in their physicians’ offices.
