Telemed Diagnostic Management Inc. (TeleMED), a leader in developing customized electronic vital sign diagnostic management solutions, is pleased to announce that the major diagnostic laboratory service organization in southern Alberta, a subsidiary of Alberta Health Services (AHS) has exercised its option to extend its ECG service agreement with them. The subsidiary of AHS re-joins the over 3,000 medical practitioners, at over 700 locations across the country, who utilize the TeleMED proprietery software.

Under the new agreement, TeleMED, an ISO 13485 software developer will continue to provide infrastructure technology and services for ECG testing services in the organization’s Patient Service Centres and for its mobile testing services.

These two organizations have partnered for almost six years and during that time they have collaborated to convert ECG testing to a highly automated, highly transparent operation that provides a responsive, transparent and accountable service to patients in Calgary and nearby areas in southern Alberta.

“There is no doubt that cardiac care has improved for patients in Alberta since our partnership began”, says Asa Lebel, President of TeleMED. “Our successes have not only delivered benefits to the patients of our partner, they have also improved care in northern Alberta. This technology will be introduced to other parts of Alberta in the near future. We are pleased to be able to continue to work with such an innovative partner.”

Telemed Diagnostic Management Inc. (TeleMED) today announced that it has expanded its Diagnostics for Doctors management platform by adding spirometry testing, Loop monitoring and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

As a result, Family Physicians can provide their patients with in-office diagnostic testing for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, hypertension and other forms of heart disease. They can also obtain secure, online diagnostic assistance from Specialists, on an as-needed basis. Early testing and diagnosis will, in turn, enable early implementation of treatment plans. Monitoring the efficacy of those plans can also take place in the familiar and easily accessible environment of the family doctor’s office.

“For over a decade, TeleMED has been the country’s leader in providing sophisticated vital-sign management technology to community medical patient care centres,” says Asa Lebel, President of TeleMED. “We recognize the benefits of bringing healthcare services as close to the patient as possible. The continuing development of the Diagnostics for Doctors platform evidences our commitment to provide an equally efficient, high-quality management platform specifically designed for the growing needs of the primary care physician.”

Telemed Diagnostic Management Inc. (TeleMED), Canada’s leading provider of customized vital-sign management systems, today announced that it has made 16 installations of its Diagnostic for Doctors management platform, thereby surpassing management’s expectations. In addition, there are a number of orders for systems that are waiting to be installed in early 2015.

The Diagnostic for Doctors platform provides an efficient and cost-effective system for Family Physicians to perform and manage a variety of cardiopulmonary tests from a single, integrated platform. TeleMED provides a turnkey solution that includes medical devices and enhanced proprietary workflow software, together with secure data sharing and storage from a single, cloud-based point of access.

“The marketing and sales of the Diagnostics for Doctors concept started in the second quarter of the year,” said Asa Lebel, President of TeleMED. In addition, our program is quite original and goes well beyond what others offered. Therefore, we expected that it would take some time for Diagnostics for Doctors to establish a footprint in the market. The fact that the sales have come faster than we anticipated proves that there is a need for an innovative idea that brings clinical-quality, diagnostic testing closer to the patient.”

Telemed Diagnostic Management (TeleMED) today announced that its management solutions have now been localized for French speaking users. Joining the localized edition currently available for English, the French edition enables TeleMED to offer an interface in each of Canada’s official languages.

“Our objective for the French edition was to provide a quality localization that users across Canada would find comfortable to use,” explained Asa Lebel, President of TeleMED. “Quebec, New Brunswick and other French-speaking areas represent new and exciting markets for us. By providing a French edition of our solutions, we are showing a clear commitment to these markets and simplifying the training for our customers in those areas.

Earlier this month, TeleMED made its initial deployment of the French edition to a client with operations in multiple Canadian provinces.

DYNALIFE_Dx RENEWS ITS CONFIDENCE IN TELEMED

Telemed Diagnostic Management Inc. (TeleMED) is pleased to announce that DynaLIFE_Dx (DynaLIFE) has renewed its ECG service agreement with TeleMED’s Alberta subsidiary.

Under the new agreement, TeleMED will continue to provide infrastructure services for DynaLIFE’s ECG services in its Patient Care Centres, as it has for more than seven years.  In addition, the contract anticipates that TeleMED will expand its services to include infrastructure support for DynaLIFE’s mobile testing services.

This contract was renewed due to TeleMED’s proven results in maintaining and enhancing DynaLIFE’s ECG services through continuous improvements in productivity and excellence in the delivery of support services.

Over the years, TeleMED’s experts have worked in close collaboration with DynaLIFE staff to ensure that TeleMED’s solution evolved as DynaLIFE’s needs became more complex.  During the past year, for instance, TeleMED collaborated with Alberta Health Services to enable delivery of DynaLIFE’s ECG test results into Netcare, Alberta’s confidential electronic system of patient health information.  Other customizations included the introduction of automated Peer Review of ECG interpretations.

Asa Lebel, President of TeleMED, said, “This contract renewal is an excellent example of our success as a long term trusted partner.  Our record of collaboration and innovation assures DynaLIFE that it can rely on TeleMED’s support in growing its ECG services and protecting its patients’ ECG data.

Telemed Diagnostic Management Inc. (‘TeleMED’) is pleased to announce that, in the month of October, it reached agreement to provide vital-sign data management solutions to eight (8) primary care clinics.  Each of these agreements represents a new partnership under its recently-launched Diagnostics for Doctors program.  This initiative is specifically intended for and marketed to Family Physician groups.

“Diagnostics for Doctors offers these physicians a powerful, efficient and cost-effective alternative for vital-sign diagnostics”, says Asa Lebel, President of TeleMED.  “Our expansion into this market was only launched a few months ago and each month’s results have been an improvement over the previous month.  We are gaining traction in this sector, proving that there is an appreciation of the value of our offering.  The physicians also appreciate the fact that they can start with small-scale solutions and easily scale up to more comprehensive solutions when they are ready to do so.
