MediSolution recognized by Microsoft for excellence in healthcare software MONTREAL, Oct. 4 /CNW/ - MediSolution Ltd. (MSH:TSE), Canada's leading healthcare information technology company, today announced that its patient record system, MediPatient+, was among the top three software products in its category worldwide to have been selected by Microsoft Corp. The fourth annual Industry Solution Awards for Healthcare, which were announced late yesterday at Windows on Healthcare 2000 in Las Vegas, Nevada, are designed to reward the best Microsoft-based solutions specifically utilizing Windows(R) 2000 Server, Windows NT(R) Server and SQL Server. ``MediSolution is extremely pleased to have been chosen from among the many suppliers worldwide for the Microsoft award,'' said MediSolution President and CEO Rémi St-Hilaire. ``We were the only Canadian company in our category and we're proud to say that our MediPatient+ solution has become the leading electronic patient record software with more than 150 installations in less than two years.'' MediPatient+, which has been widely recognized as a leading electronic patient record system, enables authorized healthcare professionals to gain rapid online access to a patient's complete medical history, including information about drug records, lab tests, diagnostic procedures and other medical information from hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, labs and doctors' offices. Up-to-date patient history is available at all times and, with proper authorization, can be viewed simultaneously from multiple locations including via the Internet. ``On-demand access to a patient's health record can make a critical difference when choosing treatment options and can help to save lives-especially in situations where a patient is incapable of providing comprehensive information,'' St-Hilaire said. ``Our MediPatient+ software helps to improve patient care.'' Demand for MediPatient+ continues to increase worldwide, fuelled by the trend towards healthcare integration at the community and regional levels, and efforts by healthcare organizations to drive down the costs of health care, reduce waiting lists and improve patient care.
