Top Healthcare ICT Companies
The overall importance of technology in healthcare is becoming increasingly apparent, as reports continue to surface that healthcare systems around the world are under increasing pressure to reduce overall costs while also improving patient care.
The top three companies appearing on last year’s Top 5 Mixed-Play healthcare ICT companies listing maintained their positions this year, with TELUS taking the top spot again in 2010. Second-ranked CGI Group continued to increase its presence in the healthcare field in 2010, landing a $46 million deal with eHealth Ontario to design, build and manage its Diabetes Registry and Portal solution. Rounding out this year’s top three mixed-play companies is recently acquired xwave, which boasts a staff of nearly 200 healthcare specialists focused on helping healthcare providers and their patients achieve the highest level of care.
Montreal-based Logibec Groupe Informatique maintained its position as Canada’s top-ranked Pure-Play Healthcare ICT Company in 2010, despite experiencing a 4.81 per cent decline in revenues. Making its first appearance on the Top 250 this year, Winnipeg-based IMRIS ranked as Canada’s second largest pure-play company in 2010. It increased revenues by an impressive 51 per cent to an estimated $66.95 million in 2010. Third-ranked PointClickCare and fourth-ranked QHR Technologies also produced rapid growth in 2010, increasing sales by 43.71 per cent and 41.07 per cent to $32.41 million and $19.50 million in 2010, respectively.
