LifeLabs offers access to doctors through its portal

December 2, 2020


Charles BrownTORONTO – LifeLabs has launched of a new virtual care offering on its customer portal in Ontario. Developed by Excelleris, a division of LifeLabs, this feature will connect over 2.6 million Ontario residents with a healthcare provider anywhere an internet connection is available through one of three virtual care providers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted how Ontarians expect to access healthcare services. Partnering with trusted providers such as Appletree Medical Group, Maple and WELL Health, LifeLabs customers will have the ability to arrange virtual physician appointments through their my results™ account either on-demand or by appointment.

After reviewing their latest test results, customers can quickly and easily book a follow-up appointment with a virtual physician via the my results™ portal to discuss their healthcare journey, providing a seamless experience.

“Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, LifeLabs has been actively working with partners across sectors to ensure that Ontario residents can continue to have convenient access to healthcare services they need,” says Charles Brown (pictured), president and CEO. “This latest update provides LifeLabs customers with access to trusted partners who provide virtual care and is yet another example of our continued investment in digital health solutions that empower customers in their healthcare journey.”

“Timely access to information is vital to providing exceptional care. This update highlights how Excelleris is connecting customers to healthcare providers,” says Jennifer Cudlipp, president, Excelleris & senior vice president, British Columbia, LifeLabs. “We look forward to expanding the virtual care platform to residents of British Columbia in early 2021.”

The virtual care offering is the latest innovation on the LifeLabs’ portal. Over 2.6 million Ontario customers rely on my results™ to book an appointment for laboratory testing at over 250 LifeLabs locations across the province and view their test results.

“As one of Canada’s largest medical groups and a leader in virtual care, Appletree is thrilled to partner with LifeLabs to offer Ontarians even greater access to comprehensive, patient-centred care, whether they’re visiting in-person or online,” says Dr. Thom Tyson, CEO of Appletree Medical Group. “With over 60 medical clinics in Ontario and over 150 family physicians and specialists in our network – two thirds of whom are now seeing patients via Appletree Virtual Care – we provide an unmatched continuum of care, with patients seamlessly transitioning between in-clinic and virtual visits.

Maple, too, is eager to start working with LifeLab’s patients. “Our platform, which provides Canadians with direct access to healthcare providers in minutes, 24/7, from wherever they are, has been providing lab requisitions and follow-ups for over a year now,” says Christy Prada, vice president of business development at Maple. “Working with LifeLabs to make that experience easier than ever for patients will help all Canadians stay healthy and safe as hesitation persists around access in-person care.”

“As an omni-channel digital healthcare company, we are excited to further expand our partnership with LifeLabs through this collaboration on virtual care services to enhance customer access and continuity of care,” said Hamed Shahbazi, CEO of WELL Health. “Our virtual care offering through VirtualClinic+ and Tia Health provides seamless access to both family and walk-in virtual appointments across Canada.”
