Français
TORONTO, April 16, 2019 /CNW/ - For the past 13 years, Novus Health has helped organizations and their employees, members and customers navigate the complex health care systems around the world. With more organizations functioning on a global scale, Novus Health complements their health navigation products with a mobile travel-related service. Travel Navigator™ enhances the health information provided by Novus Health to include safety and security support to global travellers — all in an easy-to-use mobile application.
"Novus Health provides relevant, reliable health navigation content and personal support to help members make informed health decisions," says Pamela Kwiatkowski, Senior VP of Distribution and Client Experience, "We are excited to offer a unique product to our clients that allows us to take that on the road with Travel Navigator. We believe in the power of travel health and security information and created a cost-effective solution to make the responsibility of Duty of Care easy-to-use and affordable".
The Rise of Work-Related Travel
Work travel is the new normal. In 2018 alone, an estimated 1.5 million Canadians travelled outside the country for business, making it one of the top 15 countries in the world for business-travel spending. With this travel on the rise, more people are looking for ways to stay healthy, safe and secure while on the road.
Prioritizing Informed Travel
Regardless of where employees are located while they work, employers have a legal obligation to them. For this reason, Novus Health includes Travel Navigator™ in its suite of products and services.
Using dynamic and relevant destination information and health and safety support to mitigate illness and incidents, Travel Navigator™ exemplifies the best Duty of Care for travellers. A turn-key and affordable solution, it empowers organizations, including employers, insurers, and educators, to provide the utmost health care standards and travel security information to employees and members, wherever their travels may take them.
Health Services — All in One Place
A digital platform able to integrate existing programs, products and services into a seamless, branded and multi-model experience, Novus Health adapts to any organization's needs.
Travel Navigator™ can be leveraged as part of Novus Health's products to differentiate a client's products or services, to add value, and to engage travellers. As Travel Navigator™ also integrates with insurance and other services, it creates additional revenue streams.
