Leading EMR Providers

MARKHAM, ON, Sept. 8 /CNW/ - AIM Health Group Inc.

"We are committed to maintaining a patient-centric continuum of care whereby our patients' health information is shared seamlessly by all of our healthcare providers." said Dr. Lu Barbuto, President & CEO of AIM Health Group. "With our providers being actively involved with patients addressing a range of issues related to prevention as well as illness, it was critical to us to find a secure, web-based enterprise solution capable of further enhancing our business and clinical operations. The innovative enterprise technology of Nightingale On Demand, with its integrated patient portal, is a building block for AIM to leverage technology to service a broader health consumer market and to deliver an even higher level of patient care.
