VANCOUVER — Telus announced today the launch of Telus Health Virtual Care, the next evolution of its national, employer-focused virtual care service.
Telus Health is broadening its offering by integrating the best-in-class features of Akira by Telus Health — the company’s bilingual, on-demand virtual care service — and EQ Care — its recently acquired company that delivers specialized virtual care functionalities and advanced employee assistance features such as LifeJourney.
In addition, through a recent integration (which we reported on here), Telus Health Virtual Care is also the first service in Canada to be able to securely share patient information with any of the 30,000 clinicians using a Telus Health EMR (electronic medical record) providing care to the patient, ensuring improved continuity of care, says the company’s press release.
“Supported by our extensive presence across Canada’s health industry and more than 35 years of combined leadership in health technology, our Telus Health Virtual Care service is in a category of its own when it comes to offering Canadian employees compassionate, end-to-end, human interactions throughout every step of their care journey and access to healthcare professionals on demand,” said François Gratton, executive vice-president of Telus and group president of Telus Health, in the release.
