VANCOUVER, BC. and TORONTO, Feb. 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ - WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (OTCQX:
WHTCF) ("WELL" or the "Company"), a digital
healthcare company focused on positively impacting health outcomes
by leveraging technology to empower healthcare practitioners and
their patients globally, is pleased to announce the creation of a
dedicated public sector group to help public health systems and
related large enterprises operating at scale with technology
enablement.
The objective of this group is to combine and deliver product
offerings that are specifically suited for public sector's unique
scale and requirements. WELL's public sector offerings leverage
WELL's deep operating strengths which include Canada's leading physician provider-centric
technology platform and the largest network of outpatient clinics
in Canada. WELL has a broad public
sector product offering which includes both technology and care
providers, a robust virtual care delivery platform, provider
productivity applications such as eReferral, eConsult, eOrder,
Online Patient Booking, Waiting Room Automation, Intelligent
Questionnaires, Digital Front Door Solutions, Secure Messaging,
FHIR Interoperability solutions, AI-enabled ambient scribe,
Clinical Decision Support, and Inbox solutions, and many other
applications. The public sector, both at the federal and provincial
levels, have been increasingly focused on helping digitize our
health system, as evidenced by Ottawa's recent $46.2
billion dollar commitment where a "modernized health system"
is one of the 4 key investment pillars. We are proud to be
supporting our governments by leveraging our extensive and broad
capabilities to support the modernization of the health system.
Mr. Amir Javidan, WELL's COO
commented, "We can very proudly say that we have always been a
public sector friendly company given that a significant majority of
our revenues in Canada are
generated in support of the public health ecosystem. Given the
unique strengths of our digital and clinical operations, we believe
we have the products, services, and ability to deliver industry
leading 'made in Canada' solutions
that will allow public health to support their healthcare providers
and allow them to offer the best patient outcomes possible. We are
not aware of any other company that has the same breadth of
products, services, and team members including care providers
available to support public health.
Mr. Shane Sabatino, CPO and Head
of Public Sector Partnerships commented, "The formation of this
division is a clear demonstration of our interest in supporting
public health. This isn't just a job for us, it's a passion and a
privilege to serve and support public health. To our knowledge no
other non-governmental group delivers more patient visits in
Canada than WELL. This has given
us tremendous insights into our public health ecosystem and
positions us to be valuable to our public health partners."
WELL has named Shane Sabatino,
WELL's CPO as Head of Public Sector Partnerships who will closely
work with WELL's COO, Amir Javidan
who oversees the public sector division to deliver for public
health authorities. WELL recently announced that its subsidiary
OceanMD has entered into a five year $38.5M contract with the PHSA to support British
Columbians with eReferral, eConsult, eOrder solutions, secure
messaging, and smart forms. This is in addition to other contracts
held by Ocean with the provinces of Ontario and Nova
Scotia.
WELL's approach to public sector projects is very much aligned
with its overall cultural approach to conducting business. We
always seek to: 1- Safeguard, respect, and treat any funding as if
it were to come from our own corporate funds, 2- Demonstrate
openness to working with other companies serving the public sector
in a cooperative manner that derives value for public health, 3-
Support innovative early stage companies who are seeking to make a
positive impact, and, last but not least 4- Do everything we can to
support our healthcare providers who have always been the backbone
of our healthcare ecosystem.
