February 19, 2023 – Gotodoctor.ca, is proud to congratulate Novartis Canada for launching its partnership with the secondary prevention clinic network in Ontario to better support patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). 

Cardiovascular disease is one of the major contributors of all deaths in Canada and lowering high blood cholesterol can significantly reduce the risks of heart attacks and strokes. Novartis Canada has developed a network of secondary prevention Nurse Practitioner (NP) enabled in-person and virtual cardiology clinics across Cambridge, Hamilton, Mississauga, Niagara, Oakville, Peterborough and Toronto. This is the first phase of the program and aims to create a standardized care model to prevent ASCVD through cost-effective management of modifiable risk factors. For more information on Novartis and the secondary prevention clinic network, please visit its press release.

Gotodoctor.ca is proud to be part of this innovative care program. Gotodoctor.ca’s team and its patent pending Service Engine technology provide support to Novartis and the in-person and virtual cardiology clinics in the overall project management, patient identification and EMR (Electronic Medical Records) data analysis. Gotodoctor.ca’s in-house developed Service Engine platform allows for full customization of its algorithms and analytics, driving better patient health outcomes and fulfilling physician care needs. Gotodoctor.ca’s service platform already connects to an estimate of almost a million Canadians, through its online portal, virtual clinics in McKesson Canada’s pharmacies, in-person clinics, employers and insurance partners.

“Novartis is another healthcare partner that recognises the unique technology and service capabilities of our real-life, practical platform,” said Tommy Cheung, CEO of Gotodoctor.ca. “Gotodoctor.ca continues its mission to connect, service, and drive better health outcomes by using clinical, medical and access data for patients. We look forward to working with Novartis and its cardiology clinic network to expand and improve cardiovascular care in Canada.”
