What are the Relevant Features of the TELUS PS Suite?

Doctors no longer have to trust their billing to go out on time; the system automates this seamlessly. If there is a need for data entry, user defined codes help to simplify the most complex processes and save time.

Doctors will no longer forget assessments or diagnostic investigations because the PS suite will remind them based upon guidelines that the doctor can set and reset at any time based on compliance measures.

The PS suite also offers access to drug interaction warnings as well.
