TELUS acquires LifeWorks

A flow chart with associated images that reads as follows: How technology connects patients and pharmacists. Meet Samara she's a single mom living with two kids and her elderly father. Samara's running low on medication and does not have a family doctor. Using TELUS Health Virtual Care, she speaks to a nurse practitioner, who renews her prescription. The nurse practitioner immediately sends the prescription to Samara's pharmacist, Vincent. The prescription is added to Vincent's Kroll system for processing. Samara logs into her PharmaConnect app to request a refill to be delivered to her. Samara schedules a virtual consultation with Vincent via Kroll's online booking tool to discuss her father's medications. Samara receives an automated reminder of her upcoming consultation. Vincent meets with Samara and her father by video, reviews the father's medications, and sends diet tips to help manage his diabetes. TELUS Health is helping to improve access to healthcare and contributing to efficiently connecting patients and care teams.
