Med Access Inc., a Kelowna-based company providing electronic medical record (EMR) services to 2000 specialty and general practice physicians in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, has been acquired by Telus Health. The acquisition brings the total Telus Health EMR reach to more than 12 500 Canadian physicians, supporting more than 45 million patient interactions each year. Telus Health plans to integrate Med Access’s eReferral platform across all its EMR offerings, while continuing to support the Med Access EMR platform as one of the options available to Canadian physicians. The eReferral platform allows health care teams to electronically forward any information in a patient’s chart directly to another care provider, thereby reducing potential data-entry errors and helping to enhance patient care.
