Nightingale congratulates its clients' achievements in technology
leadership and innovation. MARKHAM, ON, Feb. 9, 2012 /CNW/ -
Nightingale Informatix Corporation "Nightingale" or "Company", an
application service provider (ASP) of electronic medical record
(EMR) software and related services congratulates three of the
Company's highly respected physicians who have been honoured by
various Healthcare IT awards committees for excellence and
innovation in their use of Health IT and Social Media in medical
practice. "On behalf of Nightingale, I would like to congratulate
three of our valued clients, Dr. Mike Wadden, Uptown Health Centre
and Quinte Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, for being recognized
as technology innovators in healthcare through the respective
industry awards they won," said President and CEO of Nightingale
Informatix Corporation. "We believe these awards are a strong
testament to the increasingly important role technology tools have
in enhancing patient care, something that is key to us at
Nightingale. We pride ourselves in being a technology leader with
our web-based EMR and patient portal offerings, and we are very
proud to serving such forward-thinking healthcare practitioners."
Dr. Mike Wadden received the CMA's 2011 Community-Based Physician
Leader/Innovator Award presented by COACH Dr. Mike Wadden, a family
physician who has been one of Nova Scotia's leaders in promoting
the use of EMRs has received the CMA's 2011 Community-Based
Physician Leader/Innovator Award, which is presented annually by
Canada's Health Informatics Association (COACH). In 2006, he
was an early adopter of the provincial electronic medical record
system (Nightingale On Demand), and empowers his patients through
his website (www.DrMike.squarespace.com). Dr. Wadden has
created an epicentre for innovation in his practice by using the
clinical functionality of his EMR outside of the normal scope of
most of his peers. He has been able to not only improve the
quality and delivery of care provided to his patients, but been
able to ensure his practice is efficiently managed. "We are
extremely proud of Dr. Wadden's accomplishment, he is a true leader
in every sense of the word." said Sam Chebib. "Not only does
Dr. Wadden volunteer a great deal of his time to work with the Nova
Scotia Provincial Primary Health Care Information Management (PHIM)
EMR program to promote EMR adoption among his colleagues, but has
provided leadership for new physicians establishing practices in
his community." Uptown Health Centre is the recipient of Canada
Health Infoway's ImagineNation Outcomes Challenge Early Adopter
Award in the e-Scheduling category. Uptown Health Centre, a client
and partner of Nightingale, is the recipient of Canada Health
Infoway's ImagineNation Outcomes Challenge Early Adopter
Award. Uptown Health Centre won in the e-Scheduling category
for myPatientAccess, a secure web patient portal powered by
Nightingale that offers patients access to their health information
and additional health management tools. The e-Scheduling
feature of myPatientAccess qualified as an early adopter based on
its functionality, which allows patients to book appointments
online without interaction with another person. "We at Uptown
Health Centre are committed to supporting eHealth strategies for
Ontarians by leveraging advanced EMR and PHR solutions with the
help of Nightingale On Demand and myPatientAccess," said Dr.
Kaushal of Uptown Health Centre. "We understand that in order to
move our National eHealth strategy forward, we need to inspire our
peers to adopt innovative IT solutions for the betterment of our
health care system." Quinte Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine is
the winner of B Sharp Technologies' Healthcare Social Media
Contest, B Social. Quinte Pediatrics is a devoted team of
healthcare professionals led by Dr. Paul Dempsey, who diagnose and
treat acute medical conditions, as well as provide care for young
patients with complex medical conditions and special needs. "When
we were initially searching for EMR vendors, we were attracted to
Nightingale's approach to healthcare with its ASP solution and
integrated patient portal" said Dr. Paul Dempsey, Director and
Owner of Quinte Pediatrics. "We had outgrown what our
previous EMR provider offered, and wanted to partner with a vendor
who shared our values of innovation and quality of care. We
saw Nightingale's MyPatientAccess as a true differentiator in the
EMR market, and saw great value in the way we would be able to
communicate and connect with our patients. This was the
pivotal first step in our plan to create an online community for
Quinte Pediatrics, and as you can see, we are well underway."
While Quinte Pediatrics has already established a social media
presence using tools such as Facebook, FourSquare and blogging,
they plan to use their prize to purchase software and equipment
that will allow them to create quality video content
in-house. Their goal is to give their online audience an
interactive, 'behind-the-scenes' view of Quinte Pediatrics.
Yet another step towards making their patients feel like they're
truly part of the experience. About Nightingale Informatix
