Update on Strategic Priorities CloudMD Provides Update on Strategic Priorities to Drive Organic Growth Through New Sales and Cross Selling
Adds senior customer success and sales leadership to accelerate expansion and growth
Vancouver, BC, June 15, 2022 – CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, OTCQB: DOCRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “Company” or “CloudMD”), a healthcare technology and innovative health services company transforming the delivery of care, is pleased to provide an update on the progress the Company has made to drive organic growth through new contracts and cross selling to existing customers as well as establishing the framework and organizational structure for continued commercial success.
CloudMD is focused on maximizing profitability from its core business and integrating its healthcare solutions into its Kii Personalized & Connected Care offering. The Company has built an ecosystem of connected services eliminating challenges that employers face when purchasing from multiple, siloed vendors. Employers will also benefit from integrated reporting and analytics, a simplified access and intake experience, and personalized whole-person care which leads to high satisfaction and better outcomes.
Notable Client Wins
Since the beginning of 2022, CloudMD has onboarded over 300 customers representing over 60,000 lives with clients across various sectors, switching from legacy providers to CloudMD. The Company’s momentum in customer acquisition includes over 9,000 new members through its Mental Health Coaching program and a disability contract with a large healthcare association.
Recently, Sanofi Canada partnered with CloudMD to enable improved access to critical mental health support for people living with diabetes. By offering Therapist Assisted internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TAiCBT) through MindBeacon, they can now offer a 360-degree approach to diabetes management beyond medication. This represents an important expansion of mental health services into CloudMD’s pharmaceutical market vertical.
For people living with chronic health conditions, like diabetes, taking a connected, whole-person approach to care that includes both mental and physical health care can reduce the risk of developing a mental health condition and improve overall health outcomes. Rooted in evidence-based best practice, MindBeacon delivers high-quality mental health treatment, including support that is specifically designed to help those coping with chronic conditions, such as diabetes.
Sabina Steinkellner, General Manager, General Medicines, Sanofi Canada commented, “By thinking beyond the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to diabetes management and enabling a holistic approach to care, we can help support Canadians living with diabetes as they navigate life with a chronic condition. We are proud to be partnering with MindBeacon to support this holistic approach to care by providing access to vital mental health support."
Clients are recognizing CloudMD’s innovation in mental health support (EFAP, TAiCBT and Mental Health Coach), medical second opinion and absence management services, resulting in proposals that include multiple integrated services.
The Company continues to educate its loyal customer base on the importance and benefits of offering its full spectrum of mental and physical health services to employees and expects to see continued adoption of Kii’s integrated health programs as the Company launches its B2B telemedicine product openly to the market in July. The recent customer wins and strong adoption rates by current customers are validation that CloudMD’s connected care approach resonates with employers and provides better health outcomes for employees and stronger measurable ROI for organizations.
Adam Kelly, Chief Commercial Officer, CloudMD commented, “We believe that customers are looking for integrated services that have been proven to deliver positive health outcomes. As such, our focus in the back half of 2022 is to accelerate organic growth through our customer base, helping customers realize value through the integration of additional services. We add value to customers by reducing the number of vendors and associated costs, improving their employees' experience and health outcomes, and driving better business results for the organizations we support.”
