Canadian Society of Telehealth Awards Saint Elizibeth Health Care
[Ottawa, October 6, 2008]
The Canadian Society of Telehealth presented the award for innovative use of telehealth store and forward technology to Saint Elizabeth Health Care (SEHC) at their annual conference and gala. SEHC’s M-Brace project involved the implementation of MedShare’s eMotion software for Nurse eCharting deployed on Motion C5 Tablet and connected using the TELUS cellular data network.
 SEHC Nurse eCharting project is a leading example of what telehealth technologies can do through integration into the organization’s delivery of services. SEHC was able to deploy MedShare’s eMotion software through the C5 tablet, in an ongoing commitment to improve the quality of care it delivers to home care clients.
The Nurse eCharting project enables nurses to complete all of their traditional paperwork using the tablet and pen-based model. Comprehensive Nursing Assessments, Care Plans, Charting and Care Documentation are all supported using the MedShare eMotion application.
“Our technology mandate is to lead change and innovation within our industry in order to improve health care practices, client and staff satisfaction, and quality of care. In keeping with this goal, we are continually reviewing new technologies and were impressed by MedShare’s innovative approach to electronic charting,” said Roy French, Chief Information Officer at SEHC.
“The MedShare eMotion software improves access to health care delivery in the home and is universally accessible in urban and remote areas,” says Barry Billings, president and CEO of MedShare. “We are pleased to be working with SEHC, one of the most innovative Providers in the Home Health Care sector.”
Congratulations to Roy French, Mary Lou Ackerman and Pam Watson from Saint Elizabeth for their vision and dedication to implementing leading edge technology in nursing. And a warm thank-you to the MedShare team that helped to bring this vision into reality.
