The Northwest Territories enterprise charting system employs a single patient-centered database that is shared by all outpatient health services across 32 communities, including all general practitioners, specialists, nurses, rehabilitation service, and various other support services. For his effort, Dr. Affleck was appointed an officer of the Order of Canada in 2013. \u201cIn this networked health environment, providers can communicate on an as-needed basis across time and location to support virtual team-based care, and enterprise data can be employed to improve health outcomes,\u201d says Affleck. \u201cIt has shown itself to be immensely helpful in coordinating and improving patient care, especially for those in remote communities.\u201d Brightsquid Secure Communications Corp recognized the need for this improved level of health service communication across North America. \u201cWe know that to improve patient care, we have to improve clinical communication. Currently, the Canadian healthcare profession continues to rely on fax machines and couriers, non-compliant, unreliable tools that are outdated and inefficient. Continued use of fax machines poses the risk of private information being shared with the wrong people, and \u2013 most concerning &#8211; specialists not getting the information they need to properly treat a patient in a timely fashion,\u201d says Brightsquid CEO, Rohit Joshi.\u00a0\u201cHaving Dr. Affleck appointed to our Board has been integral to informing our approach to transforming healthcare system communication.\u201d Today, over 100,000 health providers in North America use Brightsquid Secure-Mail, and over one million messages have been sent securely. \u201cCanadians deserve the best possible health service. Brightsquid provides the means for integrated team-based health communication that enables all stakeholders &#8211;\u00a0patients and providers alike\u00a0&#8211; to coordinate care in a seamless, safe and secure manner on an elegant and easy to use interface,\u201d says Dr. Affleck.
