AdapCS
Canada Inc. and Med2020 collaborate to offer improved
data analysis to hospitals
June 26, 2006
For immediate release
KINGSTON / OTTAWA -- AdapCS Canada Inc., a Kingston-based
healthcare informatics company, and Med2020, a leading
Canadian supplier of healthcare information management
systems are pleased to announce a strategic alliance
that enables Canadian hospitals to do a better job of
analysing, comparing and reporting on their performance.
The alliance, which integrates AdapCS Canada's Inform.Rx™
data analysis tool with Med2020's WinRecs data reporting
system, gives health care organizations, for the first
time, the ability to track and compare their performance
in a timely manner. It allows hospitals to benchmark
their performance in a broad range of areas against
those of comparative institutions, and it enables them
to set meaningful targets for improvements based on
a rich source of benchmarking data.
Currently more than 50 per cent of Canadian hospitals
use Med2020's WinRecs system, which collects, reports
and maintains patient record data.
“The ability to monitor, analyse and ultimately improve
hospital performance in real time is of increasing importance
in the health care environment,” says Dr. John Marshall,
CEO of AdapCS Canada Inc.“This accountability tool gives
health care institutions a rapid, streamlined means
to establish, examine and improve their standards of
performance over time, and across local, regional, provincial
or national sectors. Med2020 is the major Canadian player
in health information management systems, and we're
delighted to be partnering with them.”
“We are particularly excited about this venture with
AdapCS,” says Jacques Bérubé, President
and CEO of Med2020. “The analytical, mapping and reporting
capabilities of Inform.Rx enables us to add value to
the information systems currently being used by our
client hospitals. Health care institutions should notice
immediate improvement in their ability to analyse their
performance in a timely manner, and to provide benchmark
data on which to compare performance and target improvements.”
