REPEAT - Premier Health Signs Agreement with CB2 Insights to Integrate Medical Cannabis Clinical Decision Support Tool
27 März 2019 - 12:30PM
Premier Health Group (CSE: PHGI, OTCQB: PHGRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the
“Company” or “Premier Health”), a Company focused on developing
innovative approaches that combine human skill-based expertise with
emerging technologies for the healthcare industry, is pleased to
announce it has initiated integration of CB2 Insights’ (CSE:CBII)
medical cannabis Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tool.
The agreement will give the more than 4600
physicians and healthcare practitioners using Premier Health’s Juno
EMR platform access to the industry’s only medical
cannabis-specific CDS tool. CB2 Insights’ CDS tool is
designed to help incorporate medical cannabis into their patient’s
treatment plans. This first-of-its-kind integration in the medical
cannabis sector will allow physicians and healthcare practitioners
to overcome many of the barriers they face from a lack of access to
education, qualification factors, risks and benefits of cannabinoid
therapy, all on a patient-specific basis using clinically-validated
data.
“For the past 4 years, we have continued to work
toward simplifying the process for a physician to gain required
understanding amidst the disparate of clinically validate data sets
available when considering cannabis as an option within a patient’s
treatment plan,” said Prad Sekar, CEO of CB2 Insights. “We are now
in a position to benefit from the aggregated and anonymized data
gathered from over 300,000 patient visits in a clinical environment
to power our CDS tool that will bring clinicians a point-of-care
application to help them incorporate cannabis into their practice
and create improved access for patients who can benefit from
cannabinoid therapy.”
CB2 Insights, through its clinical arm in the
US, operates 28 medical cannabis evaluation centers staffed with
physicians and healthcare practitioners and creates both access for
patients who qualify for medical cannabis as well as a center of
excellence to study and understand the clinical outcomes of
cannabinoid therapy. CB2 gathers data at the point-of-care in a
HIPAA-compliant manner, both aggregated and anonymized, to study
trends and outcomes that work to educate and support stakeholders
including but not limited to physicians and other healthcare
professionals.
“We are dedicated to finding new ways to create
value for our physician network,” said Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of
Premier Health. “We continue to receive multiple requests from
physicians who ask about how best to incorporate medical cannabis
into their clinics. This agreement with CB2 will provide us a
robust, validated tool to give our physicians and healthcare
practitioners a safe and secure way to qualify, educate and where
appropriate, prescribe medical cannabis to their patients in a
compliant manner.”
As part of the agreement, CB2 will provide the
development and continuous maintenance and support of the CDS tool
and all related technologies. Premier Health will support by
providing access to their software and will engage its network of
physicians and other healthcare professionals to assist in the
adoption of the CDS tool.
