VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp.: Canada's Leading University Health Centre Adopts Intelligent PHR
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.
