Calgary Scientific partners with Edge Health Partnership creates powerful visualization and diagnostic features for mobile Electronic Health Records (EHR) solutions for Mac®
Calgary, AB – June 4, 2009 - Calgary Scientific Inc., a leading innovator in advanced visualization solutions, has expanded its partnership with Edge Health Solutions, Inc. to include web-enablement through the PureWeb™ platform. Edge Health recently inked a multi-million dollar definitive agreement with Allscripts to deliver the Allscripts MyWay™ for Mac® to physicians and dentists currently using practice management software on the Mac OS X® platform.
Calgary Scientific’s ResMD™ web product vastly expands and extends the functionality of Allscripts MyWay for Mac and allows dentists and physicians to see actual diagnostic images through their iPhones, laptops or desktops – anytime, anywhere.
The multi-million dollar deal allows Edge Health the exclusive right to deliver the Calgary Scientific technology embedded within Allscripts MyWay™ for Mac®. This new offering supports the movement in Canada, the US and Europe toward EHR integrated technology that allows physicians to view diagnostic images, analyze patient files and share information with other medical professionals from a single source diagnostics environment.
“This expanded partnership not only creates vast new opportunities for medical and dental professionals to migrate easily into EHR, it also gives them the freedom and power of a mobile diagnostic environment that presents incredible diagnostic imaging, complete medical records and practice management tools all in one place,” says Troy Spracklin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Edge Health Solutions.
“Calgary Scientific’s industry-leading platforms and unmatched visualization tools are a natural fit with all Edge offerings. Putting tools like these into a web-based environment will dramatically change practice management and create new efficiencies for professionals, their staff and patients.”
“Enabling access to diagnostic images through a standard high-speed Internet connection and web browser matched with the ability to view patient’s traditional electronic medical record and lab reports give physicians a complete picture of a patient’s health,” says Pierre Lemire, President of Calgary Scientific. “Simultaneous access to this information saves time and helps the physician to make more accurate decisions. We look forward to working together with Edge Health to offer this powerful solution to Mac customers.”
