• On behalf of the CST, I would like to thank the
  members of the e-health industry team for their
  summary report of the CST industry breakfast. It
  is an extremely comprehensive report in that it
  provides an excellent overview of the process,
  presentations and results, along with
  considerations for future industry breakfasts. It
  will certainly aid the CST as we continue to
  identify opportunities to engage our industry
  partners.
• We would like to post the report on the CST
  website as a resource to our members.
• Please pass on our thanks to all e-health
  industry members that were involved in both the
  writing of this report and the planning of the
  breakfast.

Testimonials

• I had the good fortune to train in your facility
  with a group that was learning EMIS, the new
  software being rolled out to the outpatient
  clinics. The training room was outstanding. The
  large screens which could be hooked up to the
  instructor's laptop were excellent. There was no
  worry of standing in the way of the projection
  and always very easy to view. The computer
  stations were ergonomically correct which helped
  as we were doing intensive training for eight
  hours per day. The staff was very helpful when we
  had questions. The Telehealth office, itself, was
  bright, clean and quiet. It was very conducive to
  learning. I hope to have the opportunity to teach
  in your facility, myself.

Thanks to all and especially to you Penny. I
did not expect this to be such a success I have
nothing to add to this brilliant report. I'm
willing to repeat the experience next fall or
spring. Very interesting. Thank you for your
good work. This confirms it was a valuable
task. Robert E. Turcotte, MD, FRCSC Orthopaedic
Oncology McGill University Health
Centre Associate Professor and Chairman Division
of Orthopedic Surgery Regarding the report from
the Bone Joint Virtual Round Table February
2006

• After completing EMIS training at the Telehealth
  facility over the past two weeks, I would like to
  comment on what a fantastic facility this is! The
  environment was perfect for training - we had
  everything we required and were able to
  concentrate on our training without interruption.
  It was an ideal setting. I hope we will be able
  to use this facility again in the future and I
  will certainly recommend it to other people.

Testimonials
"We wish to thank you and your team for the
excellent work in bringing together the
evaluation of EMR vendors. The DOM Task Force
certainly appreciates the effort that everyone
made to complete the evaluation in a timely and
professional manner. The clinical suite provided
a very realistic background upon which to assess
the clinical scenarios, and the board room with
its video conference function gave us the extra
capability to include other sites. Of course,
your selection of evaluators was very appropriate
and brought strength and depth to the whole
process. The Department of Medicine will likely
want to discuss other applications of the
e-Health collaboratory in the near
future." Department of Medicine, Faculty of
Medicine January 2006

• Dynastream Innovations Inc. is pleased to offer
  its support to the new e-Health Industry Project.
  Our relationship with Dr. Penny Jennett has
  opened many doors in the medical community
  worldwide, and we anticipate that a continued
  relationship will offer more opportunities for
  business collaborations."

The Event was very worthwhile for Optimed
Software. I enjoyed the day and your plan to
connect e-Health vendors worked!!!! I had
expected that the event would provide us with
general exposure that may one day have a
trickle-down effect. Instead, I came away with
three prospects for our EMR solution, which was
complete bonus and a pleasant surprise. Optimed
Software Corporation Regarding the e-Health
