A clinical management system (CMS) is a software application that combines practice management software with an integrated electronic medical record (EMR). Based, in part, on this agreement, eligible primary care physicians across the province will be able to apply for funding through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and Ontario Medical Association Physician Information Technology Program when implementing Nightingale on Demand.
Sam Chebib, president and CEO of Nightingale, said: This agreement is a significant milestone for Nightingale. There are more than 22,000 physicians in Ontario, and studies show that the adoption rate for EMR is currently less than 20%. As the adoption of EMR gains momentum across Ontario and governmental funding becomes increasingly available, we believe this agreement will position us to capture a significant share of the market and accelerate our growth over the next two to five years. In addition, it serves as a testament to the technology leadership of our EMR ASP Offering, and further validates our position as the largest EMR provider in Canada.
