CloudMD and Save-On-Foods Expand On-Demand Telemedicine Service to Provide Better Care for Customers
December 07 2020 - 7:38AM
CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, OTCQB: DOCRF,
Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “
Company” or
“
CloudMD”), a telehealth company seeking to
revolutionize the delivery of healthcare to patients, is excited to
announce it is expanding its already established relationship with
Save-On-Foods, Western Canada’s largest grocery chain, to provide
an on-demand telemedicine service to its customers. Save-On-Foods
has over 180 stores across BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and
the Yukon.
Earlier this year, CloudMD and Save-On-Foods
announced plans to pilot telemedicine kiosks in nine pharmacies
across British Columbia. The kiosk enables customers to see a
doctor for prescriptions and non-emergency health concerns in real
time, on-site. After the virtual visit, prescriptions can be
submitted directly to the same pharmacy for fulfillment. Now,
Save-On-Foods is adding an additional service to its customers,
offering them more efficient access to medical care.
Save-On-Foods is committed to providing Always
Customer First service and dedicated to the health and wellbeing of
their customers. Through CloudMD on Demand, the company has
launched the virtual telemedicine link on its website to provide
better access, and more convenient care for its customers.
Customers can now see a Doctor either in one of the pharmacy kiosk
locations or through the online link from any device. Embedded into
Save-On-Foods’ website, the telemedicine link will allow customers
to see a licensed Doctor for various types of medical visits
including prescriptions, referrals, health related questions, sick
notes, lab referrals and review of test results, from 8am to 8pm, 7
days a week. To support this, the Save-On-Foods pharmacy team is
offering prescription deliveries.
The on-demand telemedicine link is free for
customers ensuring a low barrier to use and greater access to
healthcare. The on-demand platform also eliminates the disruption
in continuity of care caused by limited healthcare resources due to
the pandemic. Customers are able to receive cost effective and
efficient care from wherever they are located, while empowering
them to take control of their healthcare.
Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of
CloudMD, commented, “Save-On-Foods is an innovator in
the space, and their dedication and commitment to their customers
is very evident across all aspects of the business. We are proud to
deepen our partnership with Save-On-Foods to provide customers with
better access to care through an on-demand telemedicine link.
Save-On-Food’s has an industry-leading, intuitive e-commerce
platform, and now customers will be able to see a doctor directly
on the website from their home, school or workplace, for medical
related issues or prescription refills and either pick up the
prescription at the pharmacy of their choice, or have it delivered
directly, for free. Providing that level of service is incredibly
important to both of our organizations and is invaluable to
continue ensuring exceptional customer service.”
