//SIDER
//SIDER is a secure solution that facilitates distribution of medical results to medical clinics and the Quebec Health Record (QHR). It acts as an integrated system for the electronic distribution of results, facilitating the work of all those involved in the process of monitoring medical results, namely doctors, administrative staff of clinics, and laboratory and radiology managers. By leveraging our vast experience in the healthcare sector, we were able to identify the biggest challenges facing IT personnel and to develop a complete and secure solution to facilitate the work of all stakeholders, including full process tracking.
