HEALWELL AI Inc. announced that the Department of Health in New Brunswick, in partnership with, VeroSource Solutions Inc. and Canada Health Infoway, has launched the first patient-mediated Patient Summary in North America. The secure Patient Summary functionalities, found in the province's health information app, MyHealthNB, enables New Brunswick residents to cross both provincial and international borders equipped with a shareable, digital set of basic clinical data. This summarized version of a patient's clinical data provides health professionals with the essential information needed at point of care, such as during medical emergencies, walk-in clinic visits, and transitions of care.
By enabling the secure sharing of personal health records in the MyHealthNB app, the Government of New Brunswick and VeroSource are promoting informed decision-making and modernizing interactions with the healthcare system, overall reducing the burden on health system resources. Furthermore, the Patient Summary feature allows citizens without a family doctor to be able to access their personal health records efficiently, eliminating unnecessary appointments, phone calls, and more.
