Thetford Mines, Quebec – TheNewswire – March 10, 2022 – KDA Group Inc. (TSXV:KDA) (“KDA” or the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Groupe Technologique KDA Inc. (“Tech KDA”), are pleased to announce a partnership with Progitek Dev Inc. (“Progitek”) and their innovative dental software solutions called Dentitek (“Dentitek”), for the integration of its KRx electronic prescribing platform for dentists (the “KRx”).
“We are delighted to work with Progitek to commercialize the KRx. This partnership will allow Tech KDA’s KRx technology platform to be available, by our estimate, to nearly more than 80% of all dental clinics in the province of Quebec, including the previous partnership agreements we have signed,” said Marc Lemieux, Chief Executive Officer of KDA.
“With over 900 dental clinics benefiting from state-of-the-art features such as electronic medical records and comprehensive integrations with insurance companies, pharmacies and in-clinic dental equipment, Progitek has become the industry leader in dental management software in Quebec,” said Éric Vézina, President of Progitek.
“KRx software simplifies prescribing for dentists by putting essential information at their fingertips, so they can prescribe medications professionally, safely and efficiently,” added Marc Lemieux.
In Quebec, there are more than 5,000 dental professionals1 and over 20,000 dentists practice this profession in Canada2. The integration of both KRx and Dentitek systems will provide dentists with the clinical tools they need to optimize their time with their clients.
The KRx main features are:
-
An intelligent e-prescriber integrated directly into dental software that dynamically analyzes the dentist’s prescription profile and displays the appropriate medication.
-
Modules that electronically request the patient’s drugs list from their pharmacist and electronically send their new prescriptions directly to their pharmacy.
-
Decision trees and algorithms for selected drugs as well as immediate information about the primary use of a drug taken by a patient in order to reduce medical risks to the patient.
-
Access to RxVigilance, a leader in Canadian drug database, to verify drug interactions and allergies, and automatically calculate the pediatric dosage when necessary.
