After a competitive bid process, TELUS Health just secured a contract with Ontario Health to provide tools to healthcare providers and establish a robust remote care management (RCM) solution.

With a presence in more than 160 countries, TELUS Health provides preventative care services and solutions to people worldwide. In Ontario, the vendor has already invested in the creation of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems and its Good Mobile Clinics, providing healthcare and mental health support to the homeless within the province.

The RCM implementation will be the largest in Canada and will help ensure seamless integration with a focus on privacy and security. Once deployed, Ontario Health will be able to do early detection on patients that need intervention, reduce hospital admissions, and improve patient outcomes.

Martin B‘elanger, Managing Director, Payor and Provider Solutions with TELUS Health said, “TELUS Health will create a standardized remote patient monitoring solution that aligns with our shared commitment to advancing access to healthcare services across Ontario….TELUS Health is uniquely positioned to deliver a comprehensible and scalable program that is consistent and efficient, offering improved health outcomes for both patients and clinicians.”

TELUS Health looks to implement the new initiative later this year.
